Later Particulars—Robbery as well as Murder—Brutal and Cowardly Atrocities

Los Angeles, Oct. 26.

The mob on Tuesday night did some wholesale pillaging at the scene of the riot on Negro alley. It is variously reported that, from $11,000 to $20,000 has been stolen from the Chinese quarters.

In one of their stores, a box containing $5,000 was broken open, and the money extracted.

One Chinaman was robbed of $450 on being taken to jail. All the Chinamen hanged were stripped of all their valuables while being dragged to the place of execution.

Trunks and other repositories, having locks, in the various tenements occupied by the Chinese, have been broken open and ransacked, and everything of value carried off.

Eighteen Chinamen were hanged yesterday. They presented a most shocking and horrible sight.

Their clothing was torn, and in one or two cases the victims were almost nude.

Their countenances were besmeared with blood, and their heads and bodies pierced with gunshot wounds, and some of them fearfully mutilated.

The ropes by which they were hanged were still attached to their necks, and a number of them were shot previous to being hanged.

One or two of the victims had their bodies riddled with bullets.

The threatened repetition of the tragedy last night did not transpire, a strong guard having been placed to prevent it, as it was rumored yesterday that they would make another haul in the evening on the other side of Negro alley.

The examination of witnesses at the Coroner’s inquest occupied the whole of yesterday afternoon and was resumed this morning.

It is now recess.

Witnesses are very careful in giving their testimony, fearing to name individuals whom they know to have taken an active part in the lynching, lest they may be similarly dealt with themselves.

Sufficient evidence has already been adduced implicating two Irishmen, one having boasted of being instrumental in killing Chinese.

The examination will certainly continue throughout the day, possibly it will not be concluded until to-morrow.

It is now stated the old Vigilantes are the real instigators of the lynching, and that their declaration of determination to preserve the peace is merely a blind to throw off suspicion.

Three or four Chinamen who are said to have done the shooting at citizens and officers are still at large; only one of those hanged is known to have been a party to the shooting.

Information has just been received of the arrest of the Chinaman who shot Officer Bill Tuck, who commenced the shooting on Tuesday night, was captured this afternoon.

The Coroner’s inquest was adjourned until to-morrow.

Four arrests of rioters were made this afternoon, and direct testimony was given implicating them as concerned in the hanging of Chinamen.

Judge Sepulveda to-day ordered a special grand jury returnable Tuesday, October 31.

A large number of Chinese fled from the city by all roads on the night of the riot.

Some took the overland road for the north, on foot, leaving everything behind, and many are getting ready to leave.

The report that the rioters ordered all the Chinese to leave the city within forty-eight hours was untrue.

Some of the prominent rioters are said to have left the city.
