Jim Kershner’s this day in history
Jim Kershner The Spokesman-Review
From our archives, 100 years ago
Chinese girls were being sold in the U.S. for $800 as “domestic slaves,” according to testimony in a Spokane courtroom.
An expert witness from San Francisco testified that she herself had been sold as a domestic slave but was “rescued by women in San Francisco.” She then worked in a mission in that city, helping other girls avoid that fate.
She was testifying in the case of a 13-year-old Chinese girl who was believed to have been purchased by a Chinese merchant in Spokane. The girl said she was abducted in China when she was 8 years old and sold to merchants in China and then in Spokane.
The Spokane merchant’s defense was that she was his own daughter.
