The Same Old Game.

1t was stated in the last issue of the
REcoRp-UHIoN that officer Sullivan went
to Vallejo on Wednesday and arrested
there a Chinawoman named Chang Quong,
on charge of grand larceny preferred in
Justice Posts Court by another Celestial
female, named Di Choy, who swore that
she had been robbed of bracelet valued
at $50. The case came up for hearing be-
fore the Justice yesterday at 10 A. NJ, c. T.
Jones appearing for the prosecution, and
G. H. Dunn for the defense. Di Choy was
put on the stand and testified that the
prisoner was not the woman that should
have been arrested-that she had never
seen her before, etc, and that the defend
ant was not Chang Quong, but Cooey Gong.
This in the face of the fact that China
man went to Vallejo with the officer and
pointed out the prisoner as the right party,
and the officer was also furnished with
photograph of her, which she said (she
speaks pretty good English) when he asked
her about it at the time of arrest, was
her likeness, taken in China some years
ago. Rev. F. J. Masters, of the Chinese
Mission at San Francisco, who is in the
city at present conducting e mission
among the Chinese, attended the examina-
ton and acted as interpreter. Of course
the woman was discharged from custody.
Mr.. Masters accompanied her to the Office
of Mr.. Dunn, her attorney. and there also
went along with them Chinaman who
represented that he was her uncle, and she
stated that he held that relation toward
her. Mr.. Masters, while suspecting that
there might be a scheme on foot to get pos
session of her for immoral purposes, had
no authority to restrain her from going
with the uncle, as she desired to do, and
Il -
years of age, and the wife of Chinaman
who is employed as steward on the Govern
ment steamer Ranger, now at San Diego.
She is said to have been brought from
China as a speculation by some Cinnamon,
as so many other Chinawomen have been,
but the managers of the Chinese Mission
rescued her and kept her until her marri-
age. By the noon train yesterday Deputy
District Attorney Hall, of Solano county,
came up to look after her. accompanied by a
Vallejo Chinaman, in whose house she had
been living, but by the time they arrived
she had disappeared. 1t is believed that
the case is repetition of many by means
of which the law has been invoked to ena-
BILE Chinese highbinders to increase their
list of human chattels, but the law will
also be invoked to rectify the matter, and,
if possible, she will be found and the truth
made known whether she is acting of her
own free will.
