Chinese Cases Hung Up in
the Superior Court.
Appeals Which Never Seem to
Come to a Hearing.
'sBlack'' Ark's Bond Said to Be a
Worthless Document.
In Case of a Forfeiture Not a Cent Could

made of, Chinese criminal cases which
have been taken to the superior court
from the police courts in the past fifteen
months, on appeal, and which have
since dropped out of sight. The list,
which is presented below, makes an ex-
traordinarily strong showing, and is
certainly very good excuse for any
lack of energy on the part of the police
in making arrests of Cinnamon for vio-
lation of the laws.
The record dates back TO May 9Th,
1890, and contains forty-three cases.
Convictions have been obtained in each
and every instance and sentence has
been passed. But at this point the
prosecution of the offenders seems to
have rested. Appeals were taken to the
next higher court, and pending a
further hearing of the matter the China
men were released on bonds. This, it
seems, amounts practically to an acquit-
tai. 1t appears to be no trick at all for
a smart lawyer, encouraged bys the
Chinamen's sack, to get the case con-
tinued indefinitely and finally, when
the offense is go old that it is almost for
gotten, to obtain dismissal.
The superior courts are not 30 rushed
with business that they have no time to
hear these cases and there appears to
be no tenable excuse for such long de-
lays and ultimate defeat of justice. 1t
is no easy matter to convict China
man in the first instance, which fact is
becoming pretty we'll demonstrated in
Los Angeles. The heather have abso-
lutely no regard for their oath, and will
swear to any story to clear friend.
The prosecution is compelled to rely
solely on white testimony, and this is
not always obtainable, especially when
an offense occurs within the limits of
Chinatown. Having once obtained a
conviction, therefore, it is extremely
discouraging to the police to have to
stand calmly by and see their work set
at naught by the superior courts, which
seem to have no other object than to
assist the criminal in finding a loop
hole of escape.
