Special Telegram to the Globe
CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Charles Bradley, who
last Tuesday pleaded guilty, in the crimi-
nal court, before Judge Tuley, OF the
burglary of the house of Charles Becker.
1903 State street, and also of an assault on
Becker with steel jimmy, was this morn
ing sentenced by Judge Tuley to confne-
ment in the penitentiary for a term of
twenty years, and one day solitary con-
fnement each year. Bradley is French
Canadian, who was released from Joliet
only six months ago. He told Judge Tuley
that he was at times out of his mind and
did not consider himself responsible for
all his acts. He further said that if he had
had deadly weapon in his hand at the
time of the assault on Becker he would un-
doubtedly have killed him.
THE CHINESE MURDER TRIAL.
Special Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-The Chinese murder
trial, which has been in progress before
Judge Williamson for a week past, will be
finished to-day. This morning there was
the usual crowd of spectators present at
the opening of court. The at
tendance of Cinnamon was not so numerous
as on the first day of the trial. The coun-
sci of both sides had the assistance of in
telligent Mongolians well versed in
English, who looked after the interest of
the people whom they represented. Moy
Sing Get, who represents the family of
the murdered man, denies the statement
that the expenses of the prosecution were
being betrayed by the six Chinese COM
panies. The money is being furnished by
the Moy family in China, of which Ling
Quon was member. The family has its
heart set on bringing about the conviction
of the murderers. The first witness called
to-day for the defense was Mr.. Loda,of the
Y. M. G. A., teacher of the Chinese Sunday
school. He testified that Ling All You,
had been a member of his class for nearly
three years, and he always found him
faithful. His standing among his country
men in the class was very good. He was a
regular attendant, and only missed few
Sundays during the time of his membership.
The defense then rested their case and Mr..
Willett opened the argument for the prose-
cution and the case was ready for the jury
at the conclusion of his remarks. The
feeling for and against the prisoners
among the Chinese present at the trial is
very marked, growing out of tribal feelings
and distinctions. Both the defendants are
named "Ling." That is the tribal or
family name, like the clan name in Scot
land, and all Cinnamon of that name are
esteemed relatives. The full name of the
deceased was Moy Ling Quon, and
every witness who testified for the pros
ecution was Of the "Moy" family, except
one, Long All Booy, and his testimony was
immaterial. Moy Foy You and Moy Sing
Too, who are taking such an interest in the
prosecution, are of the same tribe. On
the other hand every witness for the de-
Tense is of the Sing family, and all the
prisoners bear that name, except Ligh
Sing. In the midst of such strong oppos-
ing influences it is difficult to get
at anything like the truth. Ligh
Sing, who is experimenting the
defense, is large, well formed Chinaman
of about thirty years of age. He is re-
markably intelligent and his conversation
is of the same order and style as any
shrewd, successful, American business
man. He is the agent of one of the Chi
nese six companies, which has the prisoner
under its protection, and sees to it that no
false testimony is introduced by the inter
prefers. He lives in Los Angeles. Cal.
CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-The Chinese murder
trial concluded to-day. The jury, after
being out for a number of hours, returned
verdict finding Sing All Dive guilty of
the murder of Ling Quon, and fixed the
punishment in the penitentiary for life.
Sing All You, tried as accessory, was ac-
quilted.
THE STAFFORD MYSTERY.
Especial Telegram to the Globe
ERIE, Pa, Jan. 19.-The mystery sur
rounding the Stafford case thickens. As
previously reported, four merchants of
Waterford telegraphed to Gov. Hoyt stat
ing positively that Reeder Moore, who sui
cided last Wednesday, confessed on his
death bed to Fred Cummings that his
(Moore's) testimony which sent Charles
Stafford to the penitentiary for twenty
years was false. Cummings could not be
found until to-day, and being closely
he says Moore's
confession contained no mention of Stat
ford or his crime. He is ready to take
oath to this, and yet quite number of
people aver that Cum mings dropped
hints and innuendoes to create an impress
sion that such confession WAS made The
