NO DEFENSE PUT IN.

All Yung Goes to the Jury without
Statement from a Witness.
The All Yurg murder trial before
Judge Smith, in which the Chinaman
is accused of the brutal murder Of the
young Mexican boy Fernando Quijada,
reached the arguments late yesterday
afternoon.
: The curious spectacle was presented
when the defense was reached of no de-
fense being made. Mr.. Guthrie, coun-
sel for the defendant, rested his case
without the introduction of single
witness, evidently preferring to risk his
clients neck to the reasonable doubt
provided by law than to any statements
that he might make or witnesses for
him.
During the morning the prosecution
introduced additional testimony to
prove the murder of the boy, and the
; Identification of his hat and basket
found under stairway in the kitchen
of the house where the murder was
committed.
1t was also brought out more clearly
that the Chinanan seen running away
from the scene of the tragedy had
jumped over fence in close proximity
to the water closet where the remains
were found.
In the afternoon All Hing, one of the
Cinnamon who went to the house after
it was reported vaguely that China
man had been killed, testified in regard
to his visit there in company with
All Suen and All Duck. He had
not found anything at first, although
they searched the house and followed
the track of the man who jumped the
fence clear to some Chinese vegetable
gardens out Macy street, near the river.
When they came back he discovered the
remains in the cesspool. When be
found it was not All Yung who had
been murdered he and his companions
abandoned the search.
The prosecution rested, and the jury
was taken to Chinatown by the court to
inspect the premises where the murder
occurred. After they returned the de-
tense rested and arguments were begun.
Horace Appel made the opening argu-
ment for the prosecution, making a
clear presentation of the chain of events
surrounding the defendant. He will be
followed this morning by Mr.. Guthrie,
for the defense. The court room was
crowded with spectators during the day.

EOn-Suit Granted.

Yesterday morning, in the $4,000
damage suit brought by Mrs. Kate
Brown against the Temple-etreet cable
railroad, non.suit was granted by
Judge Shaw upon motion of the de-
fendant'e counsel. The court held that
the death of Mr.. Brown, who was caught
by the machinery in the pit at the end
OF the line, was not due to any careless
ness on the part OF the company. The
unfortunate man was caught in some
manner that can never be explained.

to the crime of stealing. They had a god Of

be accomplished under his patronage, those
who committed such offenses being only de-
tected when their acts were not sanctioned by
the divinity. The thief who was caught did
not lose the respect of his friends, but was
subject TO retaliation in a peculiar form. In
case Of detection he was obliged to submit to
being beaten and otherwise abused by the in
tured party and was not permitted to offer
any Resistance, though he might be the
stronger. Thus retaliation could be enforced
by the weak and feeble against the strong and
