Sang Sih-fo, a foreman of the Compagnie Francaise de Tramways et d'Eclairage Electriques de Shanghai, was virtually frightened out of his wits at about 8 p.m. yesterday when an unidentified Chinese appeared at his home at 792 Rue Amiral Bayle and threatened to shoot him.
Sang, it was learned, had received a threatening letter about a month ago. The reason for this was believed io be the part taken by him in the last strike at the company.
Thinking that the man would shoot him there and then, Sang pulled out his police whistle and blew for help, putting the mysterious stranger to flight. Investigations into the case are being made by the French police.
