All Moon, very nervous, was brought
over from tho county jail, and awaited
the news. No one was in the court
besides the officers, not even the de.
fendant's counsel.
The verdict was announced and
proved to be one of not guilty. The de.
fendant was notified Of its purport and
discharged from custody. $50 +
The jury stood 10 for acquittal and
two for conviction from the first, and
the two only came over shortly before
they announced an agreement.
The result OF the trial is remarkable
one, and the defense must be regarded
as particularly able one. All Moon
admitted that he shot All Lipp, and it
remains to be seen whethsr or no the
district attorneys Office will attempt to
make him responsible for the state
ments he made on the witness stand.
After All Moons acquittal he was re-
leased from custody, and went down to
Chinatown in company with an officer.
Afterwards he was re-arreeted on war
rant charging him with assault with In

The result Of the Quon Ah Moon mur.

When pretty little Guet How was
stabbed to death the morning of June

there was but one opinion, that Quon
All Moon, a young Chinaman who was
there, had committed the two crimes.
To further carry out this idea the
young Chinsman ran away and was cap.

The brutal crime caused considerable

BRAINY Los ANGELES.

It's People hove to Read and Miss Keiso
Tells About IL.
Miss Tessa Kelso, the city librarian,
has returned from 12 days. attendance
at several library conventions at Chicago,
and expresses herself sas greatly pleased
to be once again in Southern California.
Her trip to the eaet, while occupying
part Of her summer vacation, was in no
way for pleasure, "a all Of her time was
consumed in attending the various ses-
sions Of the two library conven .icns, the
iWorld,s Cnngress of libFssieae- And~the
American Library association, which to-
getheY occupied IL days. Miss Kelso
contributed a paper to each OF these
bodies. Before the first convention.
ehe and Miss James of the Peoples
palace of London, ware the only two
women who read papers.
: Miss Kelso's paper was read before
the congress July 10th in the art insti-
tute OF Chicago, and was entitled, Eco
nomic Features OF Public Libraries. The
paper before the American Library asso-
ciation was read July 10th, in the city
council chamber, and WAS upon the CIVIL
service system as applied to public libra
ries.
Misn Kelso attended all of the meet
ings and took part in many OF the dis
cussions. SIZE had trouble in convincing
eome OF the New Engtanders that the
statistic OF the local library wers correct.
1t seemsd hard for them to comprehend
that there were so many book-reading
people in Los Angeles.
"The eastern library people," said
Miss Kelso, "were simply astounded at
the figures attained by our public
library. They could not conceive how
Los Angeles, with its present number of
books aud population could rank sixth
among all of the larger cities which
have not only q far greater population
but more extensive libraries. They
would ask how, Miss Kelso, do you ac-
eomplish SO much with but your present
limited means and with your popula-
tion? 1t is incredible. When L told
them that we received but $18, 600 ap-
preparation for salaries and other ex-
penses, they knew hardly what to say.
"Some OF those Massachusetts people
got up and said that they wanted me to
make affidavit before notary in regard
to this condition Ia Los Angeles. l was
quite willing to make it, and also said
that l would wager anything that In
percentage of solid and high class Of
reading this library could lead those in
the east. / knew that the fiction list
here was less than 30 per cent, which
was much lever than eastern Libraries,
40 ] was also sure of that point.
"After had taken that stand, they
stopped trying to frighten me, and took
the reports without any more remarks.
"We had number of spirited dis
putes, but I did not allow them to run
over California in the least. took
part in the talks and maintained what 1
considered was right.
"The conferences showed evidences oi
much activity in library circles, and in
which great interest was taken. all oi
the meetings We're largely attended by
leading educational people.
I'm my opinion a western association
OF librarians will be formed. There ie
nothing in touch between the west and
the east in this matter. The latter is
too slow, and is conducted under old.
fogy systems. The Massachusetts peo-
Pile desire to run everything"
