The Capture Of Hong Di
Ad-Free Safe House Edition
Episode 321 continues our exploration of stories from the Old West, this one from a ranch near Colusa when a Chinese cook, a mere boy of 17, opens fire with a rifle during the family meal. After a flight from justice, an unlikely hero captures the fugitive, who is put on trial while a vengeful crowd gathers outside demanding the extreme penalty of the law.
Culled from the historic pages of the the San Francisco Examiner and other newspapers of the era.
