Very sad and unfortunate events from a different time in Halifax's history. One has to wonder if this event, or latent attitudes that existed before and after this event, may have had some effect on Halifax never having formed a 'Chinatown' like many other Canadian and American cities in the late 19th/early 20th century.
Another case of the 'good old days' not actually being so 'good'...
