Comes to Long Adventure
Trails End; Life of
Promise Blasted.
Guam Sing is dead.

Guam Sing, the 45-year-old Chi
nese, who knew death was to beckon
him, died Wednesday night in the
Indiana state prison at Michigan
city.
On the afternoon of Feb. IS, Sing,
SO i'll with tuberculosis and cancer
that he could not stand, begged
Criminal Judge James A. Collins to
send him to prison so he could get
hospital care. The next day he was
sent to the prison and lived two
weeks.
On his way to the prison, he con-
tinued to prophesy that he would
die soon. How soon he did not
know. All he knew was that after
varied career as a lawyer, news
paper man and restaurant owner, he
had failed in life and that he never
would leave prison alive.
There is, perhaps, only one debt
Sing left unpaid. He paid his debt
of errors and crime with his life.
But that unpaid debt is one to a
little boy in an orphans asylum in
Petersburg, Ind, who thinks Ouan
Sing was his father.
A week ago he wrote a letter to
Sing, begging for information about
his mother and his own identity.
Did Guam Sing ever answer the
letter? That Is the question officials
at the orphans home and Judge
Collins hope to solve in the next
few hours. Perhaps, they say, War
den H. DAILY will find somewhere in
Sings few personal belongings a
note that will relieve the boy of the
stigma that may blot the remainder
of his life.
Twenty -four years ago, life held
nothing but brightness for Sing. He
then was graduated from Leland
Stanford university at Palo Alto,
Cal, as a lawyer. Although never
gaining success in this profession he
spent about twelve years in the res
taurant business in which, he used
to say, Il did very we'll"
The last few years, however, he
turned to forgery and theft to obtain
enough money to exist. In this he
failed. And then his plea for a
sentence on issuing a fraudulent
check and then-death.
