Had he not been startled by John McDaniel's wife, I believe he would have done it. Ah Ben was a Chinese immigrant who was new to Yuba County, California. He often slept in outhouses, barns, and even in the basements of saloons. Why he killed John McDaniel remains unknown as there was no real reason why Ah Ben would have done it. I wonder what his name would be if he were a dentist? Would it be Ah Ben Wide? Haha. I'm just messin' with ya. I know that was wrong, I'm sorry. But anyway, great article.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
