THE LUPP CASE.
The Engineer on the Louis Olsen
Found GUILTY..

Found Guilty.
The case OF Fred Lupp, accused OF aiding
and abetting the landing of Chinese from
the steamer Louis Olsen. was submitted for
argument in the District Court yesterday.
Lupp was the assistant engineer on the
Olsen. and in his defense 1t was set forth
that he did not know at the time the
steamer left this port that 1t was to engage
In illegal work and that it was only after he
had been cut few days that the true
nature OF the cruise was learned by him.
But on the stand two witnesses had testl-
fed that before the steamer lett the harbor
Lupp had told them of the nature OF the
cruise. telling them that he expected to
make money by ii.
Attorney Garter, for the prosecution,
argued that Lupp, after he had learned
OF the object OF the cruise. had chance 10
desert the steamer when it took the crew
from Vancouver Island. aud In not so doing
he was guilty Of the otfense with which 10
was charged.
In Attorney Van DuZer'S argument Tor
the defendant It was set forth that Lupp
was acting in the capacity OF an ordinary
engineer while on the cruise and that while
he learned of the nature Of the cruise after
The steamer had been out lew days ne
could not desert it without offending the
laws OF the United States.
In Judge MOrrGw's instructions to the
jury he reminded them of the fac Of the
case and explained to them that the verdict
was TO be either guilty or not guilty OF the
charge upon which Lupp was being tried.
At o'clock the jury retired TO the jury
room and at 80 o'clock it was announced
that verdict had been agreed upon. Inc
court again went into session and after the
usual proceedings Lump was found guilty
as charged. Upon hearing the verdict
Lupp began to cry and said that he would
not care had he been guilty. Guilty or not
he was remanded fol sentence on Monday.
