‘Yellow Spider ’ Caught in Own Web of Drug-Peddling System

\ Bn SEA Service LONDON, May 12.—Like a vicious yellow spider for seven long, prosperous years Brilliant Chang, alias Chan Nam. sat in an obscure room in Limehouse Causeway and spun his webs baited with cocaine to catch the poor white flies of London's fashionable West End. Out of the webs Chang drew gold, a fine flat in swell Park Lane, a huge automobile, wine suppers, dances and women. But the other day, after seven years' patient watching and waiting. Scotland Yard pounced down, tq|-e away all his webs, and went him to prison cell for I*4 months, after which he will be deported to his native China. Limehouse Causeway is Londons Chinatown —quiet, sinister and secret. Not far away are the great docks where the big ships from the Orient come in. The police suspect that every' ship that comes from China has its contraband load of cocaine and opium which “innocent” seamen slip into the hands of guileless looking Chinamen. # Ijed Dual Life One of these was Brilliant Chang, who led two lives. In Limehouse he had an humble flat among his countrymen. Up town he lived the life of a well-to-do man about town, wore stylish stylish clothes, frequented the night clubs, and drank hi3 wine with an air. For he was an educated man who spoke and wrote English fluently. He came here originally eight years ago to study chemistry. His people were well-to-do. After a while the war broke down many of the mail and banking facilities between China and England. Chang's remittances from home ceased. But Chang knew a trick or two. In knocking about the White Light district he had learned there was a ready market for "coke' ’and ~ciaae." He quietly organized a business. Personally he never usd the fG-ug. and never had a drop of it fn >5 clothes. He had Chinese, negro white tools to sell the stuff. Out of his huge profits, he led a life of ease. At the night clubs he came into contact with the women habitues. When they were tired or fagged or blue, 'he told them how “coke” would buck them up. He even obliged hotelling them how they could get It. He thus extended the toll of his customers. Girl Dead in Hal Everything went well with him until one day in 1921 pretty Freda Kempton, an instructor in dancing, was found dead in her flat. Cocaine had done it. And it was shown she had been a close friend of Chang. She had been a regular patron at a restaurant he had opened. was a prominent witness at the inquest, but the police couldn't pin anything on him. But they watched him so closely that he closed his restaurant, gave up his Park Lane flat and went to live in Limehouse altogether. The police were baffled. But a couple of weeks ago a pretty girl named Violet Payne was seen in a Pennyflelds “pub” acting cfueierly. The, police questioned her. took her to the station. had her searched and found cocaine. She readily agreed to help the authorities. She told she got thrtvdrug from Chang and told how theNsutomers put their money through a chink in a back fence and in turn got a packet of “coke." neither the customer nor the vendor seeing each other. That was enough. Scotland Vard pounced upon Chqjjg. searched his flat, and behind a loose panel in his kitchen found some of the drug. He had come to the end of his string.
