FOR MURDER.
The Prosecution Making Out Very
Strong Case-The Defense Trying
to Keep Out the Girls Dying
Staten ent.

The trial OF Quon Ah Moon, or, as he
is named in the information, Quon Toy
Ying, accused of stabbing Guet How to
death June 9Th, was resumed yesterday
in Judge Smiths court.
The prosecution continued to put in
evidence against the defendant, building
up the links in the chain of circum-
stances that point towards him as the
murderer of the woman and would-be
slayer of Ah Lipp.
Gin Ling was the first witness for the
day and testified to hearing the shots
fred in the building in Chinatown
where the tragedy took place. He blew
police whistle and then ran away to
avoid being witness. He saw All Lipp
on the veranda, the latter crying out
and putting his hands to his chest
| where he was shot.
John @. Wray, deputy sheriff. testi-
fed that he received the defendant at
the county jail after his arrest and took
the shirt exhibited in the court room,
which was identified as having been
worn by the defendant the morning OF
the shooting.
A. j. Perry, an employe of the Cudahy
| Packing company, testified that he saw
the defendant the morning OF the shoot
| ing, on Also street. He saw All Moon
wash his hands in q trough and after
wares go across the Macy street bridge.
w. II. Brown saw the defendant on
the eaet side of the Macy-street bridge,
and showed him the way to Pasadena.
Mrs. M. B. Brainard. who lives on the
Repeta ranch, five miles from the city,
testified that the defendant came there
at O'Clock in the morning and remained
until IL 80. He had breakfast there,
bought coat for 81 so, and went away
when he saw come one coming along in
a buggy, after he had received permis-
sion to remain there two or three days.
Chew Pock Et, who also pointed out
the defendant to Constable Slater, testi-
fed to that fact, and then the details of
the arrest in Pasadena were given by
the constable. The defendant was found
hiding IN Soon Gees room.
The movements Of the defendant were
very carefully followed up, and then, re-
turning to the city, the prosecution in
troduced witnesses to show the details
of the tragedy.
Officer Roberts told how he found the
big dirk knife with which Guet How
was stabbed, on the floor under the bed
The big fight OF the day occurred over
the examination Of Lem Loon, China
man who testified in English, and good
English at that.
He heard the shots, saw Ah Lipp on
the verandah and went to Guet How's
room in company with police officers.
He found Gust How lying on her bed,
and accompanied her with others on the
patrol wagon to the receiv ng hospital.
Here he was requested to obtain a
statement from her, which he did. The
defense fought the introduction of this
statement and the legal battle consumed
the balance OF the afternoon.
The deienne claimed the dying woman
did not say she was going to die, but
that she was afraid she was going to die,
and that did not allow the statement to
be admitted as dying declaration.
The witness was positive about what
the woman said to him, but the defense
tried to show that what he said did not
correspond with what he had testified 10
at the preliminary examination.
The court reserved his decision until
this morning. The trial will be- re-
sumed at O'Clock.
