MILLION DOLLAR JEWEL ROBBERY IN
HONG KONG BARES STRANGE STORY
BY HAL DOYLE
HONG KONG, Jau. 24 —(AP)
—Thig crown colony’s first post
war million dollar ;cwel robbery
has bared a strange tale of mix.
ed generosity and revenge: It
could hdppen only in the Orient,
where . time moves so_slowly
that 3 man can fee: free to de
vote a lifetime tc getting. even
for an affront.
The. story was told today in a
long letter to all Hong Kong
iNwspapers by the robbery vic
tim aimself — Tan Tong Hoe, a
wealthy Chinese dealer in dental
supplies. '
The jewelry — vauled roughly
at a,million- Hong Kong dollars
or more than 200006 American
dollars — was stolen from' his
home last week by three ban
dits during his abscnce.
Explaining the source. of ‘is
wealth, Tan wrote:
“About eight yearg ago while
I was a resident 'in Singapore, I
had ( the, unhappy . experience of
being made te suffer a grievance
at the hands ‘of a certain rich
MBIE .. i
“I.taen made a secret vow that
my - one ‘ intention in life would
be to avenge that grievance most
unfairly directed against me. My
one ifitention 'was that' I should
work very hard in arcder to show
that man I c¢ould rcake money
enough to outWeighc him by es.

pete witt, ‘hig own.
“Exerted Ugmost”
“Therefore, from ipat time on
ward 7 -in ‘fact ‘exerteq my ut
most in, order that:l might ar
rive'at my goal .in, the shortest
possible time.” ik
‘Tan’ had only 15 American dol
lars in.capital when he set out
to regain his lost. .*‘face.” He
mudaroomed it se fost that he
was almost in a pocition to seek
his revenge when ttie war: broke
out and forced him to shlexe
his plan temporarily. Fearing
curreney deflation, ne, invested
most of his wealth in diamonds.
“Unfortunately, that:man has
sipce died during the Japaness
occupation,” Tan: continued, “and
consequently: I am now deprived
of the‘chance to avenge that
grievance since he undoubtedly
would be unable to see for him
self what I' would *be deing.” -
Deprived of his personal ven
geance, Tan brooded leng over!
what to do, with the fortyne he
had ' biult up "and wkich he felt |
wag unneceslsary for hig owa
needs. ‘ : |
He decitled finakly, to expressi
his - family's gratitude for “the
peace and freedom wiiich we all
are enjoying ‘today,” he would
erect a war memoria! and enter
tainment - center for the benefit
of “all Allied soldiers, sailors
and airmen” and’ “particularly,
those brave American Allies who

Plans Disrupted
Unfortunately, the gem theft
disrupted his plans, however, the
robbers overlooked a small cot
ton bag in which he had stored
some jade and a !8 carat dia
mond which he feels at present
prices may bring up to 250,000
Hong Kong dollars, or more %ian
50,000 dollars American,
Tan now ‘as offered the pro
ceedg from this jewelry to the
community to ereet a war mems=
oria] on land which he will do
nate, If the stolen jewels are re
covered, all but the 20 per cent
which he has offered ags a reward
will be available to build a rec
reation center.
Tan pointedy emphasized that
his gift does not svring from
war profits.
“The’ brilliants were all bought
by me before the war with
money earned with the sweat of
my brow,’ Yhe said. “None was
bought during the Japanese oc
cupation and therefore the
' money with which T kought thesz
articles did not in the least come
from foul sources.”

Lakesg fleev are each about an
