or not he and Brooks prepared bogus
lottery ticket at any time.
HALEY refused to answer, on the ground
that he might criminate himself, and he
was excused.
Brooks, the defendant, testified that he
did not know the ticket he presented was
bogus, and that there was no intention
on his part to extort money from the
Chinaman.
In imposing sentence, Judge Crayens
there had been a conspiracy to extort
money from the Cbinaman who sold the
lottery ticket, and that Brooks had more
to do with the matter than the court had
been informed of.
A fine of 500 was imposed on Brooks,
and the court remarked that other war
| rants ought to be issued and other parties
arrested in connection with the affair.

Yesterday was the day set for hearing
the evidence in the case of G. W. Brooks,
the individual charged with attempting
