Dr. Max Kindler, a dentist, with offices at 33 Rue clu Consular, who was arrested on July 21 on the complaint of Dou Vu-song, and charged with having defrauded' him of $12,000, was sentenced on Wednesday, by M. Crépin, the French Assesser, and Magistrate Nich, in the French Mixed Court, to pay the plaintiff $12,000, and a fine of $600 to the Court with the alternative of six monthsJin prison.
From the evidence given in the French Mixed Court yesterday morning it appears that he was associated with the plaintiff, Dou Vu-song, in opening a social club in Boulevard de Montigy.
The club was Dr. Kindler's idea and Dou put up the necessary funds to lease the building and purchase the furniture. The original expenditure amounted to approximately $8,000 and was to be repaid to Dou, from membership entrance fees and monthly dues.
The club was operated exclusively for the benefit and entertainment of Chinese. Several reports were made of the club's activities to the French police, who thereupon conducted an investigation, and ordered the club to be closed as a result of their findings. Prior to the closure, however, the plaintiff alleged that he had - advanced to Dr. Kindler sums of money from time te time, on various- pretexts, amounting to approximately $12,- 000, which was the amount awarded him by yesterday's decision. Fur. thermore, the Court ordered that henceforth Dr. Kindler would be denied French protection.
