' ROBBED OE 1800
BY COUNTRYMAN
Wo Lee Who Conducts Laundry on
South Riverside Is Attacked and
Forced to Give Up Key to Treasure
Chest.
Only Gave Up Key After He Had
Been Stabbed over Heart May Be
Jim Ling of Ashland.
V Lee, u Clituamott who operates
a laundry on South Itivcrslde avenue,
was robbed ut nil early hour tuduy of
.8U0 in gold by an unknown China
man. In 4 struggle with tho robber
Wo Lee suffered n severe cut over
the heart mid severe bruises' about tho
body. I'robubly the only thing which
saved his 'life was the fact that he
surrendered the kov to the chest in
which the gold was placed and nl
lowcd the robber to depart.
Wo was asleep in his room in tho
rear of the laundry when the robber
entered and nwnkened him. Tn Eng
lish nnd later in Chinese he demanded
the key to a large chest in the room
in which the robber evidently knew
that Wo kept his money. Wo at first
refused whereupon the robber drew
a knife from beneath his blouse utnl
attacked him. He cut Wo over tho
heart inflicting a deep ilcsh wound
the course of the knife being stopped
by one of. Wo'r ribs. Ho mado n
second attempt to stab him driving
the knife through th,e bedding. Ifu
then seized Wo by the throat and
again demanded the key to the chest.
This time Wo, to save his life, acqui
esced and gave up tho key.
The robber then opened the chest
and took from it a sack containing
800 in fi's, 10's and 20's gold pieces
and made his escape through an open
window. Ho overlooked another suck
in which about $100 iu silver was
placed nnd refused to touch about
$100 worth of jewelry.
As the robber escaped through u
window Wo sprang from his bed mid
jerked open n door. The rays from
a hall light fell across one side at
tho robber's face and Wo sweura
that he will know the man if he sees
him again.
Wo then notified the police and
summoned Dr. Shearer who dressed
the wounds.
Suspicion points somewhat to i
Chinaman named Jim Ling of Ash
land who was in this city Sunday
evening. Ling mid Wo Inid hud
trouble previously. Wo refuses lo
accuse him but admits that the
Chinaman he saw going through thu
window might havo been Ling. Tho
police uro working on tho cuse.
