ATTEMPT 0H LIFE OF
CHINESE LAUNDRY!“
STRATFORD. Dec. 6.—-The author-
I'ities are. today investigating an alieg.
ed attempt on the life of John Sing.
a Chinese laundryman of this place,
which occurred nbhut last midnight.
The laundryman told the police today
that. about midnight he heard. a rap
:on in door, and opened it and stuck
(his head out to see who was there.
The next instant a bullet whizzed by
him, striking'the side of the doorpost
as it passed. He locked his door and.
liid himself in the rear of his shop.
At some distance to one side of the
door he said he caught a glimpse of
a man wearing a dark overcoat and
derby hat and whose face seemed to
be. all covered with white. .Laterthe
police learned that shortly before 13
o‘clock a man with a white handkeb
chief about his head was seen in that
vicinity, but they have no definite
description of him. An examination
of the laundry premises today shower! I.
