Mr.. Parker was then allowed to 20 into

Der of the Board of Trustees OF VacaviIle.
The saloon license had been raised on
petition to $500 quarter. Lyons had
recently kept saloon and Beaver a res
taurant. The witness knew of no other
reason for picking out the Chinese work
ing for him and for Mr.. Buck than the
animosity of Messrs. Lyons and Beaver.
The next and only other witness for the
Government was ID. l.. Beaver, who had
sworn out the warrants. He denied hav-
Ing been actuated by motives OF malice and
revenge and said he did pay some personal
taxes. Mr.. Riordan subjected him to a
severe cross-examination.
With this MIR. Witter submitted Ills case,
and Mr.. Riordan promptly asked for a
dismissal on the ground that the prosecu-
tion had not proved that the Chinese had
not registered, but the court held the mat
Ter of registration to be for the defense to
establlsh-a very important ruling
j. L. Lyons was then called by Mr.. RiOr-
dan for the defense, the attorney trying to
show that spite had prompted him.

examination, as the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals will be in session for only q short
time.
Meantime T. D. Riordan, attorney for
the Six Companies. had seen Chief
Crowley and Informed him that his clients
and the Chinese Consul would render the
police every assistance in their efforts to
deport the eX-convicts among the high
binders and would prosecute the re-
mainder on the charge of vagrancy. He.
however. presented a list Of names among
those arrested who. he said, although at
one time members of a highbnder
society, were Eard-working. industrious
men. They had also resigned their NOM
bership in the society and had given bonds
10 the Six Companies to preserve the
peace. He, therefore, asked that these
men should be released.
The Chief sent for Sergeant Johns, and,
after a brief consultation, Mr.. Riordan's
request was agreed to.
When Judge Conlan took his seat on the
bench in No. l Court at o'clock the

Ihe excitement in Chinatown over the
arrest of sixty-eight highbinders is ex.

The Chinese Consul and the Six Com
panies appear pleased at the action of the
police, which to them was quite unex-
pected.
No outsider knew of the contemplated
arrests except Attorney John J. Kennedy,
who was the iostigater of the proceedings
on behalf of the Labor Council.
Mr.. Kennedy called upon Chief Crowley
about two weeks ago and asked his assist
ance in identifying and arresting about a
hundred hghbinders, with the view of
their deportation under the Geary act.
The Chief sent for Sergeant Johns of
Chinatown squad and instructed him to
carry into effect the request of Mr.. Ken
nedy.
The sergeant recognized at once that he
had peculiarly difficult work TO perform.
The law not only requires that the names
of the men to be deDorted must be given,

courtroom TO liberty.
1t was then decided to continue the
cases OF the remainder until tomorrow to
enable the police to look up the records
for ex-convicts, and also to afford the CHI
nese SIX Companies the opportunity of
gathering Information as to whether or
not any of the remainder were entitled to
the same consideration as the seventeen
released.
AS an evidence of the feeling of the
reputable Chinese against the men ar
rested there was up TO last night only one
released on bonds
The Chinese Six Companies held a meet

Ihe action OF the police was commended.
andit was decided to give those arrested who

they belong and giving bonds to the Chi

but it must be proved beyond doubt that
they were residents in the city on May 5.
1892, and on May 5, 1893. Neither he nor
any member of his squad had been on The
Chinatown detail until within the past two
or three months. which rendered the task
all the more d fficult.
The sergeant poDdered over the situa-
.tion for night and on the next day waited
upon the Chief and laid before him
scheme which he thought would prove
successful, provided he obtained the assist
suce of Police Officer E. l.. Gibson. whose
acquaintance with the highlander fratern-
ity is we'll known. The Chief at once
placed Gibson ar the sergeanrs disposal.
The scheme briefly was for the sergeant
and Gibson to patrol Chinatown together
for some days until the new headquarters
of the various highbinder tongs had been
located and Gibson bad familiarized him
self with the features OF some of his old
acQ1aintanceS. Ii any pressing inquiries
were made as to GibsOn's presence in
Chinatown the answer to be given was
tfat he was merely on the squad for a few
days to help IN case an outbreak should
occur between rival tongs.
Upon given day when everything was
ripe for action arrests would be made gem
eral, and the reason to be given was that
1t was simply 20 overawe the highpiDders
: who had returned from the Alaskan fish
cries.
Each man when booked would give his
name. age and occupation. and his head
and arms would be closely scanned for any
marks that would assist in his identified
tlOn.
Then after each case was called in court
and each Chinese stood up and answered
TO his name tire case would be dismissed,
and Deputy United States Marshal would
be in waiting with a warrant from the
Federal courts for his arrest under the
Geary act.
The sergeant's scheme worked admir-
ably and the secret was 80 well guarded
that not single Chinese nor any other
person outside of the Chief, Attorney Ken
= DedY, Sergeant Johns and Officer Gibson
knew what was the real object in having
so many highbinders arrested
just as the squad was busy hauling in
the highbinderS on Monday the news
came that the McCreary act giving the
Chinese six months longer TO register lad
passed the House of Representatives., and
that threw a damper over the officers, but
they kept on making raids and arrests
until midnight.
The cases had been assigned to Judge
The morning call., 1893-10-18
The case was pending and the Government

The case was pending and the Government
had its witnesses ready.
The court held that the question of the
passage Of the bill was not for it to con-
slider. Ii the Government wanted the cases
TO be heard there was 10 other course than
to go ahead with them.
Before any testimony was taken Mr.
Riordan sent up sixteen applications for
writS of habeas corpus for the last batch
of Chinese brought up from Los Angeles,
which were promptly denied.
w. B. Parker was the first witness put
on by Mr.. Witter to identify the defendant
Mr.. Riordan took the witness in hand to
show what had been the supposed motives
of MesSrs. Beaver and Lyons, but Mr.
Witter objected to that kind of cross-ex-
animation.
Have you consulted with Mr.. Garter ?"
Mr.. Riordan asked. 'Mr. Garter agreed
with me that the attorney for the defense
was not to be objected to. Tho purpose
of this examination is to show that the OBJ
lect OF these men was not to enforce the
Geary act, but TO wreak their vengeance
on Messrs. Parker and Buck for raising
the saloon licenses"
Mr.. Riordan exhibited some feeling and
referred to the other four Vacaville Chi
nese present, as having been arrested at
The instance OF man named Budsop, whit o,
he said, "had been discharged by Mr.. Wat
con tor beating Chinese empioye" In a

terday afternoon he transferred them II
Judge Conlan.
Attorney Kennedy, accompanied by
Officer Gibson, went to the Appraisers
building during the forenoon to have the
highbinders proceeded against through
the Federal courts under the Geary act,
and when United States Circuit Judge
McKenna could be found off the bench OF
the Court of Appeals Mr.. Kennedy deluged
him with siXty-seven complaints.
Judge McKenna asked Officer Gibson ii
he knew one of the high binders, naming
him, for whom a warrant was asked, but
the officer could not positively answer in
the affirmative.
The Judge reasoned that he could OF
issue warrants unless assured that the
Chinese could be properly identified. He
suggested, however. that Mr.. Gibson should
go through the batch of complaints and
pick out those whom he knew, which was
done, the officer having recourse TO his pri-
vate memorandum book. Then Judge
Mckenna intimaied that preference be
given to those known to be ex-coDylcts, in
view of the expected passage soon of the
McCreary substitute bill, and he promised
that he would issue warrants for them at
once and try their cases the next day, but as
TO the others he would consider the matter.
His reasons for such a course were that
if the McCreary bill passed the Senate
and were approved by the President, all
the proceedings in the cases of such as
could not be shown to have committed a
felony would turn out to 0e abortive,
wasting the Government money, which
might be more profitably applied in the
an aDti-Chinese movement. The mere fact
that Chinese was a highbinder would not
operate against him under the law.
Messrs. Kennedy and Gibson concluded,
under the circumstances. TO first ascertain
who were the eX-convicts and the Judge
tod them he would wait until 4P. NJ. Up
to that hour, however. they did not re-
turn. They will probably secure the war

Chinese, did his utmost to demonstrate
that the prosecution was due to the feel
lngs of D. s. Beaver and j. P. Lyons over
the raising of the Vacaville saloon Ii
cense, and that there were plenty of dis
reputable highbin ders and the like 10
Vacaville who had been overlooked. His
first tactics, though, were for continu-
ance. He suggested when the first case
was called-that of All Gong. MIR. Buck s
cook-that the court should defer action in
view of the probability Of the speedy pas
sage by the Senate of the McCreary bill.
AS there is a saving clause in the bill pro-
viding for the discharge of all persons un-
der sentence of deportation. he thought
that the trial of the cases then and the
subsequent appeal proceedings which
would certainly be taken would simply
entail unnecessary expense upon both
sides.
Attorney Witter for the Government re-
piled that it could hardly be taken for
granted just then that the bill would pass.
