HELD TO ANSWER.

1 with Cinnamon, who seemed to take deep in
terest in the case, although it is altogether
| probable that not one in ten could understand
anything of the proceedings. The defend.
ants, two very dark and extremely homely
Cinnamon who answered to the euphonious
names of Phong All CleoDg and Sing A.
Cheong. occupied seats beside their attorneys,
Henry Edgerton and Charles T. Jones. The
District Attorney, owing to some criminal
business which he was engaged in prosecuting
| in the Superior Court, could not be present.
and the prosecution was conducted By ex-At.
torney General A. l.. Hart. Two intelligent
Cinnamon, Charley All Sing and Cir Sling,
interpreters, sat near MIR. Hart and assisted
the latter in examining witnesses and in the
general prosecution of the case.
| Samuel Harvey, the Constable who made
the arrest, testified that he arrested the de-
PENDANTS while they were conducting a game
Of tan. He produced the Layout" used by
them, and recognized the defendants as the
guilty parties. He had seen the same parties
playing tan in the same building on several
occasions. He arrested them on warrant
issued by Judge Tubbs. George Karcher,
the officer who assisted at the arrest corrob-
GRATED the testimony given by the Constable.
| The next witness placed upon the stand
was Chinaman who claimed to be San
| Francisco tea merchant. He seemed to want
to convict the parties, and was apparently
very anxious to tell all he knew about the
game of tan, and to cerroborate the testi.
mony given by the officers. He sat down at
the table, took the Layout" and handled it
| with so much grace that it was evident he
was an expert at the business Mr. Jones,
noticing this, asked if his "bsst hold " was
not gambling. Mr.. Hart objected to the
question, but the celestial replied quickly,
Il have played at this game since
I was fifteen years DID," While being cross.
examined by Mr.. Jones, the alleged mer.
chant became very indignant. He admitted
having been cent to San Quentin from San
| Francisco for perjury. Two other China
men were examined.
The defense offered no evidence in rebuff
| tai, but asked for the dismissal of the de-
PENDANTS.
The Court held them to answer to the Su-
| perior Court, and fixed the bail at 5000 in
each case. One of the defendants became
very angry, and in az excited manner, his
voice on q high key, exclaimed: "Whassa
matter? Mclean man too muchee allie time
foolee Chinaman. State law talkee ale time
no play tan. City Trustee policeman talkee
payee license heap play tan sill light. Mclean
lawyer man too muchee tam foolee."

through the city yesterday, en- route from

not generally recognized, from the fact that

served as kind of masquerade costume. As
he stepped upon the platform after taking
cup Of coffee and doughnuts at the lunch
counter, he was accosted by friend with
the hand, and, after giving it a

told Ben two weeks before the election that
he was beaten" He said he had retired
from politics, and that he never more should
take the stump. The Chinese question, he

want the most labor for the least pay, and
don't care fig as to who or what class of
people performs the labor.
