GERMAN, ARMED ROBBERIES HONGKONG MAGISTRACY."
IN SHANGBAI ?
OPIUM THE BOOTY... With the arrest of Heinrich Babe, and Max Sievers, Germans, comes to light a most interesting story of a number of Germans who are alleged to have conduct- ed recent armed robberies in which for aigners were said at the time to have been implicated in the International Settlement and the French Concession, Shanghai (says the N... Daily News). There is also an allegation made by one of the gang that a former Chinese interpreter in the employ of the police is also concerned in at least one armed robbery. In all seven foreigners are said to be implicated, of whom five are enemy subjects.
GAMBLING.
Inspector Grant charged sixteen men with gambling in Tin Wo Lane. Two of the men were absent and their bail of 85 each was estreated. The remaining. fourteen were fined $9. arch.
THEFT OF ICE.
A Chinese was charged with stealing "a quantity of ice, the property of the Dairy Farm & Ice Co., Ltd.
It was stated that defendant was noticed removing the ice from a lighter,
and was arrested,
Defendant stated that the ice was
given to him by another man, who stole it.
He did not know where the man was, Mr. Wood fixed defendant $10, with the alternative of 21 days' hard labour.
ALLEGED ASSAULT WITH A CHOPPER.
As far as the information at present available shows the motive for one at least of the men arrested for joining in the gang was poverty. He appears to have ́obtained various positions in Shanghai, the last of which he lost in the early part of the year, and, after several unsuccessful attempts to procure work, is said to have been approached by a German, new interned, with a proposal that he should join him, a man who is at present serving a term of imprisonment in Bilibid and Robert Franck, at present in custody, in pulling off a job" in Szechuan Road It appears that a Chinese bad given, in pital.
