ordered Deported.

Charley Ain Him, an all-around bad
Chinaman, was sentenced yesterday by
Judge Ross to deportation.
The Chinaman played a strong hand,
but Judge Ross was not to be deceived
and Charley must go.
Some of the most remarkable incl
dents ever Witnessed in court OF law
took place during yesterdays proceed
ings.
Chief OF Police Glass took the witness
stand and swuro that Charley All Him
wan the worst and most interruptions
criminal thNa ever bore the name Of
hghbinder.
The spectators were then treated to
the sight OF o.e Of Chief Glass's subor-
dinates, Officer Conley, WHO swore that
the notorious Charley was merchant
doing business in Chinatown, and Q
peaceful, law auiding citizen.
Conley oveidid the thing, however,
and contradicted himself 80 openly that
he retired from The witness stand in
discontinue.
The first witness called was Deputy
Marshal Harry johnson, who testified
to arressing the defendant, and also to
his general bad character.
johnson declared that he had known
Charley for years and had always known
HIM to be the friend of criminals, and
the leader in every trouble amongA his
countrymen.
Chief Glass followed and corroborated
the deputy marshal's statement, adding
that Charley was the leader OF the Hop
Sing Tong highbinders' association.
Detective Auble told the same story
and was, II anything, more emphatic in
his denunciation of the Chinaman.
The defense then called their witnesses
and some startling developments en-
sued.
Attorney r. A. Ling went upon the
stand and testified that Charley All Him
came to him two weeks ago and informed
him that he was being pursued by the
highbinders, and was in fear of death.
The witness stated that he advised him
to leave the city.
'Didn't you know that there wac
warrant issued for his arrest by the
United States district court ?" demand
ed United States District Attorney
Denis.
II did," replied the attorney.
citizen, you ought to have informed the
authorities instead Of assisting him to
escape?"
Attorney Ling looked uncomfortable,
and clustered out some kind of an at
tempt at justification which was cut
short by Judge Ross.
The attorney then proceeded to emu
merate Charley All Him's virtucs, and
swore that the defendant was part
owner of a store on Marchesault street.
''I consider him an honorable, upright
Chinaman," stated Mr.. Ling.
Attorney McComas also swore to the
Chinaman's good character, and stated
that he believed him to be part owner
OF Marchesault street store.
Police Officer Conley followed and
gained an unenviable distinction by
swearing that Charley All Him was
reputable, law-abiding Chinaman. He
had never known him to do anything
contrary to law and order. and the off,
Ger in point of fact swore to exactly the
contrary of what his superior, Chief
Glass, testified to.
Detective Fred Smith went into line
with the two attorneys and Officer Con-
ley, and in spite OF contradicting him
self occasionally contrived to give Char
ley All Him an excellent character. The
detective appeared to be well posted in
the defendants business affairs, and de-
clared the defendant an owner Of gen.
eral merchandise store.
But the valuable services rendered by
Attorneys Ling, McComas, ETC., were all
in vain..
Judge Ross put stop to further pro.
ceedings by declaring that sufficient evil
dence had been adduced to satisfy him
that Charley All Him came within the
power of the Geary law, and gave the
necessary order for his deportation.
The decision was received by the
crowded courtewith applause.
