Rensselaer Republican, Volume 15, Number 47, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 August 1883 — Chinese Justice. [ARTICLE]

Chinese Justice.

The Chinese Government in Lama Miaco, the great entrepot, punishes highway robbery with violence by a sentence of death from starvation, and Mr. Gilmour saw this sentence carried out, the man being placed in a cage in the street, with his head outside, so that he might see the eating shops and die slowly of hunger and thirst. He was four days dying there in public. The Chinese citizens found this interesting, and strolled up every evening, laughing and jesting, to see the unhappy wretch suffer.— J.
