There is little or no truth in the suggestion,
for many causes have led to poor crops. Take
the case of good, honest-hearted N. ]. Brown of
Tulare County for instance. There is nowhere
better or finer specimen OF quiet, hard
working, good citizen. He had nice piece of
orchard land which was doing very well in
deed but it gradually began to run down, but
only because Mr.. Brown was attacked by q
disease which deprived him of all his native
energy and made him utterly unfit to attend
to anything. Indeed, he had become what is
called wreck in every sense of the word.
And it is probable but for the splendid work
which is being done at the Hudson Medical In
stitute that Mr.. Brown would have lost his all.
When he was at his very worst he heard of
what these noted specialists were doing and
applied to them for relief, and after he had
been treated by these gentlemen he saw fit to
make this statement:
l. n. J. Brown, being in good sound mind, do
offer the following testimonial of the skill Of
the various physicians at the Hudson Medical IN

WONG CHUEY FOUND GUILTY
Convicted OF Murder in the Second
Degree
1t Would Have Been Worse Had the Prisoner
Not Been Considered Wong
Chee's Tool

Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock a
knock from the inside of the jury room
in department one of the superior court
announced that the juro rs in the Wong
Chuey murder trial had agreed upon a
verdict Judge Smith was absent on
account OF an indisposition. and there
was no other superior Judge available
until 1920 when Judge Clark took his
seat upon the bench.
Little Wong Chuey was imperturba
as ever. His favorite position, after
kicking off his Chinese slippers, is to
tuck mis- little legs under his small body
on chair near the railing, close his
eyes and look as idiotic as an idol from
the Kingdom of the moon. That is the
way he awaited the return of the jury.
Jesse Yarnell was foreman, and at the
direction of the court read the verdict,
which found Wong Chuey guilty of MUIR
der in the second degree. At the request
of Attorney Gage the jury was polled.
Each man answered affirmatively as his
name was called. Judge Clark set Tues
day next as the day for passing sentence.
The punishment is not less than ten
years in the state prison.
Some of the jurors after they had been
discharged, in speaking about the verdict
reached by chem. said that it was in
manner a compromise one. because Wong
Chuey was considered merely as the bru-
tish tool of the man who had prompted
him to the deed with the words: "Shoot
him Shoot him'
Wong Chuey was reconveyed to Jail by
Bailiff Marsh and he seemed to have
overcome his apathy sufficiently TO grin
broadly and even laugh when the deputy
sheriff showed him by suggestive pan
tomime that his little neck was saved.-
The attorneys for the defendant intimat
ed that they would move for a new trial.
Deputy District Attorney McComas con-
Quoted the prosecution with great ability.
He was splendidly aided by Mr.. Horace
Appel. 1t needed men Off forensic skill,
however. to cope successfully with law
yers of such acknowledged experience in
criminal cases as Messrs. Henry Il. Gage
and George p. Phibbs.
