Wanted to Lynch Chinaman

Oriental was Accused of Attempted Assault on Young Girl.

Baltimore, Oct. 3.—Kok Kong You, employed in a Chinese laundry here, is under arrest on the charge of attempting to assault Helen Danaker, the 11‑year‑old daughter of Michael Danaker, of Hampden. The girl is under the care of a physician, who has sewed up and bandaged several deep cuts in the child’s wrists, sustained when she jumped through a window in the Chinaman’s shop to escape from him.

The crash of glass attracted the attention of residents of the neighborhood, and soon a large crowd surrounded the shop. Cries of “lynch him” were heard as the girl’s story became known, and it was with difficulty that the thoroughly frightened Chinese was held in the station house.

The girl said she had gone to the shop for the family laundry and that the laundryman had attempted to lock her in the room.
