how in progress before Judge Smith an,
a jury, and is making out mucl
stronger case against the defendant thai
had been expected.
The case is attracting good man,
spectators from the Mexican portion 0
the inhabitants Of the city, and they
fill the seats in the court room. Tht
defendant never looks around towards
the crowd behind him and is very stolie
in his demeanor. He is muscular
looking fellow and could very easily
have choked the poor little victim oi
some ones fiendish depravity.
The testimony during the morning
was principally devoted to witnesses
who had seen Ah Yung at the house
where the outrage and murder were
committed and little links connecting
him with the crime.
Chem XII Sing testified that after All
Yung's arrest at the haystack, near
Vernon, he interpreted questions to
YuDg put by Detective Boequi. In re-
sponse the defendant said that he had
stayed at a house in Chinatown, but
denied that it was the house where the
murder took place. He left there the
night OF the murder and went to ranch
houee at Vernon, where he stayed two
days and was then turned out because
they believed he was the murderer. He
got into the hayetack where he was
found by Officer Steele, to,keep warm.
Officer Steele testified as to the facts
OF the arrest, the story Of the capture
being substantially as heretofore pub
lished. The officer obtained tip that
All Yung was in the vicinity where he
found him, and when he had almost
given mp the search pulled him out Of u
haystack where he was secreted.
Hardie Moulton. colored man, testi-
fed that he had gone to the house
where the murder took place frequently
and bought opium from an old China
man who lived there. He went there to
buy opium four days before the murder
and the old Chinaman was not there,
but Ah Yung was.
Mrs. Yu Sic, the neighbor woman
whom Mrs. Won Sing called when she
heard the choking noises in the house
adjoining her home, corroborated the
statements OF the latter. She.also saw
the man run away and jump over the
fence out OF the yard in which the body
was found. She could not recognize the
man.
The prosecution gave the defense a
surprise in the afternoon, when All Kim
was called to the stand. lie said he
had been working for MARITIME, the sec.
ond-hand dealer, for two months before
the murder. He LETT there about 5 80
O'Clock on the afternoon of October 18th,
and went to friends house adjoining
the house where the murder
occurred to get some chile pep.
perH. As he passed the house
he saw All Yung jump over
the fence near the cesspool where the
body was found, and ran towards the
Chinese hospital, behind which he dis
appeared. He was positive that it was
All Yang, the double-thumbed China
man. He had seen him before on the
street and recognized him. He had on
dark clothes and black slouch hat.
After he saw him he got his red pep
pers, went to his room, and it was later
in the evening that he heard of the
murder.
Mr. Guthrie endeavored to break the
witness down on cross-examination, but
he did not succeed. He drew from him
that he had only been summoned as 4
witness that day, and had never talked
about what he had seen before yester-
day. He was subpened by Officer
Steele, who had got wind of his having
seen the Chinaman running away.
All Sam, a Chinese vegetable man,
who has ranch near Vernon, was also
a material witness for the prosecution.
He talks good English, and gave the
greater part of his testimony without
an interpreter. He said he had Just re.
turned from Los Angeles about O'Clock
on the night OF October 18th, when All
Yung met him pear the door of his
house, and asked him for a loan. He
said he had hurt a Mexi-
can boy in the city, was in
trouble and wanted the money to get
away. All Sam declined to give him
any money and he went away. At that
time the witness had heard about the
murder. He had never seen the defend
ant before, but recognized him and
positively identified him as the man
who came to him that night. 1t was
near his house that All Yung was after
wards captured.
DR.. E. A. Bryant, police surgeon, tes-
titled as to holding post mortem ex-
animation upon the remains of the boy.
His testimony cannot be published. 1t
is sufficient to say that he discovered
evidences upon the body that showed
that he had been strangled
to death after the commission Of
nameless crime upon him, and his body
then thrown down into the cesspool
where it was found.
Cristino Yorba, young boy, testified
that he had noticed All Yung at the
doorway of the house of the tragedy
every day for week before the event.
The witness had been accustomed to 60
ing by the house on his way from his
home on Macy street to Sentous' butcher
shop. He had seen an older Chinaman
there several times.
Officer Harris was the last witness for
the day, and testified that he was
called to the house in the evening and
searched all the rooms The fr0nt room
was the only.one having evidences that
it was then occupied as living apart
ment. Under stairway in the kitchen
he found, under a pile of rice sacks, a
basket filled with water crosses and a
hat. These were shown the witness
and he stated that, to the best of his
knowledge. they were the ones he
found. Although the officer found the
things, he would not be positive that
the ones shown him in court were those
he found. The trial will be resumed
this morning.
She Committed Suicide.
