ABSTRACT

“It was the dedication of the Chinese Buddhist temple in San Francisco, on Washington Street off Laguna. It was near Mamie Pleasanton's place. She was a black madam. She was very notorious. She had the dirt on everybody. She caused a lot of people to die or be killed. The temple was near her home, which stood across the street from the Green Eye Hospital, which doesn't exist anymore. What exists still are the eucalyptus trees that were in front of her home. On the corner was the temple.
