HOMICIDE.
A Chinaman Stoned to Death by Boys.
On Wednesday night, about seven o’clock, a Chinaman named Ah He, who was the proprietor of a small cigar factory on the corner of Fourth and Freelon streets, was attacked by a gang of boys, who assaulted him with stones in his place of business. One of the stones struck He in the stomach, and had been thrown with such force that it knocked him down and rendered him insensible. When the boys saw this they ran away. Officer McSurley found the Chinaman in the condition described, and conveyed him to the City and County Hospital, where he died yesterday morning at a quarter past six o’clock. The Coroner was notified of the death, and took charge of the remains. The boys who committed the assault are unknown, and although officers were looking for them, no trace of them had been discovered up to a late hour last night.
