CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
A Cinnamon in the Tolls The
KinZIe Case Etc.

Among the indictments found by the
late grand jury and recently presented
to the court was one against Ching
Chong heather who keeps boarding
and lodging house in one of the odor-

perjury, in that Ching Chong swore
falsely when testiiying before the jury
in the case of the People vs.. Little
Charley, who was convicted of The muir
der of China Mary, in Alta, some
months ago. It will be remembered
that the theory of the defense was that
Charley left Alta the night before
Mary met her death, and came to Salt
Lake, where he stopped over night, and
then went east via Ogden. The prose-

reached the railway bv going over the
hills by way of Park City. With the
idea of making their case good, the
defense introduced several Cinnamon,
who swore that they saw Little Charley
in this city on the evening the murder
was committed. Ching Chong was one
of these. It is perhaps needless to say
that no one believed their story; and
when Charlie, after hs had received his
sentence. was put upon the sand to
testify against nis accomplice, Old Jake,
he admitted that be and Jake had
killed the woman; that he went over
the hills through Park City as claimed
thus exposing his fellow heathcns
who had been so willing to help him in
his trouble.
