Appears on the Scene.
Surgeon Bryant Tells About Goat Hu's
Wounds-wong Lip, the Injured
Man, Put on the stand-The
Case Continued.

Tall Chinese and little Chinese, thin
Chinese and fat Chinese, crowded and
jostled one another in Justice Seaman's
courtroom yesterday.
Quon Toy Ying was under examins-
tion for the murder of his mistress,
Goat Hu. and that an unusual amount
OF excitement has been caused by the
murder was evidenced by the crowd OF
the prisoners countrymen who attended
yesterdays proceedings.
Even the Chinese women turned out
with their babies, and held them high
up in the air, so that they might see
Quon Toy Ying. the alleged murderer.
Wong Chee, the representative OF the
Six Companies, was present, with Judge
Cheney and Attorney Phibbs, who have
been retained by the Chinese to assist
the district attorneys office in prosecut-
ing the care.
There was also an imported Chinese
detective, sharp visaged gentleman
who hails from Hong Kong
The defendant was represented by At
torneys Ling and Appel. The latter
gentleman commenced the proceedings
ny asking bu6 CUuIb JHhb buo OnlACbO
spectators might be excluded from the
court room. In this motion he was sup
ported by Attorney Ling, who declared
in an impassioned speech that the court
room was packed with crowd OF high
binders, perjuFers and criminals, who
were there for the purpose of intimidat
ing witnesses. He did not propose to see
his client sacrificed on the Chinese altar
of public anxioty At9
Justice Seaman denied the motion,
and Police Surgeon Bryant was called as
the first witness. The doctor stated that
he was called by telephone to the scene
of the murder. He found an unknown
Chinese woman lying ON bed
IN a little room above the Chinese
restaurant ON Alameda street. She
was bleeding from two knife wounds in
the abdomen, and was in state of COM
plete collapse. He attended to her in
juries and had her removed to- the re-
ceiving hospital, where death took place
shortly after her arrival. -
On croes-examination the line of de-
Tense to be adopted by the defendants
attorneys became apparent, Attorney
Ling asked the witness whether or not
there was blood upon the floor or pas
sage leading to the room, and Attorney
testimony denied the right of the prose-
cution to introduce evidence as to
whether or not there was blood
upon the bed only, the attorney
stating that 1t might be this woman had
been killed on the street and carried to
her room without blood dropping any
where on the paesagsway or floor.
DIR. Bryant stated that he had not
noticed blood anywhere except on the
bed where the dying woman lay
Wong Lip, the Chinese who was shot
by Quon Toy Ying, was then called, but
DR.. Bryant stating that it would be
dangerous to move the wounded man
an adlOurnment was made 10 the re-
ceiving hospital, where the Witness
testimony was taken.
Through an interpreter Wong Lip
stated that he lived in the same house
with the murdered woman. On the
night of the killing he went to bed at
10 O'Clock. He thought that the de-
ceased retired at IL. About 5 the next
morning he was awakened by hearing
the woman shriek for help. He ran
upstairs and pushed open the door. No
sooner had he done go than Quon Toy
Ying turned his gun on him and fred a
shot. The witness turned to escape but
could not prevent second shot from
entering his breast. He fell and Quon
Toy Wing rushed out of the room and
escaped. The witness then crswled to
the balcony and called for help,
He positively identified the defendant
as the man who shot him. He had just
time to see the woman lying on the bed
in pool Of blood before he was shot.
For nearly an hour the attorneys for
the defense endeavored to shake his tes-
timony but to no effect, and on account
OF the lsteness of the hour, the exami-
nation WAS continued until this morning.
A strong objection was made by the
defense to the presence of Wong Chez,
the representative of the Six companies,
in the receiving hospital. 1t was noticed
that while adjusting quilt over the
wounded man, Wong Chez made use OF
the opportunity to whisper something to
the witness. Wong Chez was shortly
afterwards requested to leave by Justice
Seaman.
