revenue to $50 or 500 a week.
When questioned yesterday D0ckendorff
admitted having written the letters and
having delivered the table-coyer at Dom

nature of the strictly confidential busi-
ness his Chinese patrons desired to transact
with the cfilcers. He did not know that the
Mongols desired to bride the police in the
interest of fan-tan games.
As there Is not very strong case against
the expressman it is probable that after he
testihes IN the interest of the prosecution
in the case of Loi and Hing the charge
against him will be dismissed. In short he
will be permitted to turn States evidence.
He was released on his own recognizanee
by order of Judge Joachmsen.
