THE WONG CHEZ AFFAIR
Koch's Strange !tatement to the Dis.
trict Attorney
He Asserts Thst ~ tost His Position Because
He Testified / the chinsmsn's
examination u, ~

One B. N. Koh, who testified for the
prosecution on ths Suey murder case, is.
il his statement is correct in its entirety,
the victim of theWong faction, because
he dared to give evidence which was dam
aging to Wong hee and the two other
Cinnamon now had to answer for the
crime. At the tine that little Suey was
shot down by bred highlander. Koch
was employed by one Jean Lenert, who
has bar on Ferguon alley. This resort
is in the heart q the western Chinese
district, and all around it are located
houses of sin. theinmates of which de-
pend almost excluively upon the Chi
nese.
The saloon itself is frequented by q
very undesirable element, prominent
among which are Cinnamon, prostitutes
and their associate. Only a few days
ago Eva King, woman Of the town,
shot three times at George Green, one OF
of jealousy.
1t has been stated that some of the
saloons patronage onsists Of Chinese,
and that it is composed more particularly
of members of the Wong family than Of
other heathens. The statement was made
to Deputy District Attorney James. 1t is
as follows:
II have recently beer in the employ Of
Jean Lenert as helper in the saloon on
Ferguson alley. During the time l
worked there I saw ex-lolice Officer Bos-
qui around the place frequently; in fact,
he took his dinner tfere nearly every
day. On the night LouSuey was shot I
was standing on the coner of Ferguson
alley and Alameda stree talking to OFF,
Ger Blackburn, and of couse saw as much
of what took place as anyone. After the
shooting-about four or i've days after,
and before the examination of Chez,
Chuey and Wing was commnced-Bosqui
came into the saloon and hd long talk
with Lenert. After he leftLenert came
over to where l was working and said:
You had better keep out of trouble and
not 60 to court at all, meaning as wit.
ness against Chez and the oth,r men.
When he made that remark made up
my mind that it was BosQuis work. Then
different Cinnamon of the Wong Chez
faction came to me and asked ne not to
testify, saying "Bosqui very god friend
to Chez. AS you know I did testify at
the examination and ever sirce then
Bosqui has looked very black at me. Last
night, March 14th, George Green, he man
who was shot at by Carrie Smith in the
saloon or restaurant the other night, and
who has been employed as barkeeler by
Lenert, came to me and said: We've
got no more use for you now becauie you
have too much to do with the rops.'
That was my discharge. Lenert ais, said
to me: We've got to make our living off
of scutthroats and thieves, and you have
too much to do with the policemen"

Now Mrs. Williams had not asked
Beecher for any protection, but he in
sisted on giving It to her. So he told
williams he did not intend to move on.
The result was trouble for Mr.. Beecher.
He chased the grocery dealer into the
house, but wanted to cease operations
when the latter produced pistol. But
he and Williams finally came together.
Then the wife interfered. She told the
constable that be had no business there
incident was temporarily ended
when williams climbed up ladder and
escaped. Later on a policemen arrested
him in restaurant. Yesterday Beecherr
went down the list Of misdemeanors and
charged Williams with about half q dozen
of them, including drunkenness, carrying
concealed weapon, disturbing the peace,
etc. Mrs. Williams was charged with re-
sisting an officer in the discharge OF his
duty.
In the police court the grocer was con-
victsd on three counts.

THE UNSPEAKABLE CHANGING
Its Legality to Be Determined Next Frlda,
by Judge Shaw

Its Legality TO be Determined Next Friday
by Judge Shaw
n. P. Brady, prisoner in the city Jail,
who is required, if he desires to get any
thing better to eat than bread and water
with solitary confinement, to work every
day except Sundays, during the period Of
his sentence, on the chain-gang, with an
Oregon boot upon his leg, yesterday sued
out writ Of habeas corpus in the Superior
Court, throuah his attorney, Hugh Craw-
ford, Esq. 1t was made returnable before
Judge Shaw next Friday. The
point that is involved is the
legality of the chaip-gang-a fearfl
and degrading inheritance from the Dark
Ages. While virtually in the custody of
the Chief of Police, city Jail prisoners
who are required to work on the chain
gang are turned over every morning to an
employee Of the street superintendent
Office who is a special police officer, and
arerequired to perform hard labor OH un
improved streets. 1t will now possibly be
determined whether sentence which
reads in black and white, ito be confined
SO many days in the city Jail, can be
distorted into ito labor at hard work so
many days upon the public streets with. a
ball and chain or an Oregon boot upon the
leg"
