Miss Li Zung-sz, comely 22-year old entertainer, is at the Lester Chinese Hospital today with a serious wound in the abdomen, inflicted upon her by an ex-paramour at the entrance to the Wei Tsoong Lodgirig House at 136 Shantung Road yesterday evening.
The victim was waiting for a rickshaw when she heard her name.
Turning around. she saw the assailant, a knife in his hand. approach her. Before she had a chance either io defend herself or flee for safety, the man stabbed her in the right side of the abdomen.
She found enough strength. however. to run further away and. half fainting from loss of blood, presented herself at the hospital. Central station was informed and detectives, investigating the case, learned that the victim and the as-salient quarrelled frequently in the past few days because of a love affair between the entertainer and a young Chinese tailor. The discarded lover, inspired by jealousy, stabbed her when he saw that she would not return to him.
