THE LAWS DELAY
The Condensed Story of the Feud in
Chinatown

A decision in the case of Wong Chuey,
convicted Of the murder of Lue Suey in
Department one of the superior court of
this county in 1895, and carried on ap-
peal to the supreme court, was received
yesterday.
This case is Of more than ordinary i'm
portance, for the murder of which Wong
Chuey was convicted was the crime with
which the war between the Bing Kung
Tong and the Hop Sing Tong was in
augurated, and was mere prelude to
other outrages.
Lue Suey was the leader Of the Hop
Sing faction at the time he was killed
in Chinatown, on February 10, 1895. For
his premeditated assassination, Wong
Chuey, the present defendant; Wong
Chu, the leader of the Bing Kung Tong,
and Wong Wing were all arrested.
The defendants were tried separately,
and the several trials were keenly con-
tested. Henry T. Gage, Esq, Marble &
Phibbs and w. 1. Foley were defending
counsel, and Deputy District Attorney
McComas had the aid and assistance of
Messrs. H. H. Appel and R. A. Ling.
Wong Chuey was convicted Of murder
in the second degree and was sentenced
by Judge Smith to life Imprisonment.
Wong Chu was acquitted upon very
positive alibi being made out, and Wong
Wing was also acquitted. The latter
Chinaman realized, however, the danger
in which he Stood The. tongs were at
issue and the killing of leader in the
one tong meant the killing of one or
more of the members of the other by way
of compensation. Wong Wing was ar
rested by the federal authorities for
deportation, and albeit his attorneys felt
convinced they could free him he refused
to be freed and willingly returned to
China at the expense Of this govern
ment. s tH
With Wong Chn 1t was different. He

THE COURTS OPINION
In Which a Close Analysis of the
Facts Is Made

At 2 o'clock yesterday Mr.. Thompson,
accompanied by two Of his daughters,
as we'll as Homer Norman, was in court.
Janett Thomson was not brought from
her temporary home at San Fernando
by Sheriff Burr, but number of friends
of both parties were present and also
quite goodly sprinkling of attorneys,
who were interested in the legal point in
volved
Upon taking his seat upon the bench
Judge Allen at once proceeded to read his
opinion in the case, as follows:
Petitioner AYERS that he is the father
and natural guardian of one Janett
Thomson. girl under the age of 16
years; that on August 1, 1897, one Homer
Norman enticed her from her home.
took her to the town Of Long Beach,
and there with her embarked upon a
small sailing vessel and procured some
one unauthorized in that behalf To go
through the form Of marriage -eere-
mony; that, thereafter he returned with
said girl to the town of Long Beach and
there has ever since restrained the
daughter of petitioner of her liberty and
prevented petitioner from having the
custody and control of her.
Norman, in his return to the writ.
says that he does not restrain the daugh-
ter of petitioner: but alleges that said
Janett Thomson is his wife; that, on
August 2, 1897, at longitude 33 degrees 40
minutes north, latitude 11S degrees 20

THE LEGAL RESULTS
The Question Not Necessarily Final
on HabeaS Corpus

While this finding of court is eminently
satisfactory it must be conceded that SO
far as this particular case is concerned
things are left in rather a mixed 'condi-
ton.
The purpose of habeas corpus pro-
ceedings is to have a court decide wheth-
er a person is unduly restrained of his
or her liberty and in the case of Janett
Thomson the legality or illegality of the
alleged marriage was simply inquired
into for the purpose of deciding the
main question. Mr.. Norman yesterday
announced his intention of exhausting
every legal method to recover possession
of the young lady whom he regards as
his wife. If he chooses he can sue out
a writ in any department of the superior
court and have the matter threshed out
again, but as one judge is never pre-
disposed to review the finding of a
brother judge the hearing would prob
ably be postponed until after vacation
and then heard in bank, three or more
judges sitting to hear II. The a"ieL st
way 10 arrive at wnat might be accept
ed as a final decision would be for Mr.
Norman to sue out writ before the SUI
preme court and if that court Of last re-
sort in the state found as has Judge
Allen, then the inevitable might as well
be accepted with good grace.
At the same time the actual question
of legality can only be raised and finally
determined beyond further dispute
when examined on it's own merits. This
may be done to instituting nullity suit
to render void the marriage; for the pur-
poses of the suit quasimarriage being
assumed. The finding of the trial court
would, upon, being carried up on appeal
and confirmed by the supreme court,
settle the matter decisively and beyond
all further cavil.
AS a proposition Of law Norman
stands now on his own confession, un-
der the ruling of the court, guilty of abb
duction and rape. A prosecution on
this charge would bring the question
squarely to the front, but whether a
jury would convict under the circum-
stances is a moot point. The facts
would have to be conceded, but juries
have a playful habit sometimes of re-
fusing to make return on the law and
the evidence. True, the criminal intent
in this case would be lacking, but it is
an axiom of law that man is supposed
to know the consequences of his own
act, and ignorance of law is no effective
shield for crime.
Whatever steps be taken to further
contest the matter, certain it is that the
end is not yet

was the leader Of the Bing Kungs and
was marked man. A life for a life is
the code of the Chinese, and on July rs,
1896, Wong Chu was shot down on Ala
media street to satisfy the murder of Lue
Suey.
Chew Wing Cow, Gong Ong Chong and
Hong Kee, all members of the Hop
Sings, were charged with the murder.
but Hong Kee skipped out and others
avoided arrest. The trial of Chew Wing
Cow was rendered notorious by the per-
jury committed in it, and although the
jury returned verdict of guilty, the
court, in the face of number of start
ling affidavits, refused to pass sentence
in the face of such mass of corrupt tes-
timony. Rather strangely, the state ap-
pealed the case to the supreme court
and the charge against Gong Ong Chong
was dismissed.
These two notorious cases groove one
into the other the supreme court in af-
firnling the judgment and order of the
trial court appealed from disposes of a
case that is two years old. But not
finally, for counsel for Wong Chuey are
now engaged in preparing their motion
for rehearing before the supreme court,
anu lIllS III tIle lace VI the Ldcl lHdl The
appeal was passed upon in bank.
The opinion handed down is quite
voluminous. The court examines at
length several of the alleged errors of
law which occurred during the trial.
Some of these were of technical ma
ture, while others were of popular in
terest. Wong Chu, as defendants wit
ness, testified that he had known de-
fendant for ten years, and never knew
him to speak English in his presence.
Upon cross-examination he was asked.
in effect, IL he had not met Courtney and
one Morrison in his rooms prior to the
trial, and then attempted to bribe Court
pey to give false testimony in the inter-
est Of the defendant. Under objection
the witness answered in the negative.
The court holds there was no error in
allowing the question. If the witness
was such an active partisan Of the de-
fendant as to be engaged in suborning
witnesses in his behalf, that fact was
most material in weighing the evidence.
In rebuttal the prosecution contradicted
the witness Chu, by placing Courtney
upon the stand, who testified to the at
tempted bribery.
In reviewing the argument of de-
fendants counsel that Wong Chu would
not have been put forward as their wit
ness, to do ultimate damage to their
case, had certain impeaching testimony
been admitted as 1t should have been,
the court says: with due regard to
the duty owing by counsel to his client,
coupled with the zeal with which that
client was defended, we believe defend
ants counsel neither could nor should
show that Chu's evidence would not have
been offered if the other impeaching evil
dence had been admitted
The opinion was drawn by Justice
Garoutte, Van Fleet, Harrison, Nc
Farland and Henshaw concurring.

LAW OF DOMICILE

they are solemnized pursuant to the
laws of the domicile of the parties.
LAW OF DOMICILE
"story, in his Conflict of Laws Cat page
1o9) lays down the rule that, whenever
there is a local recesSity, from the alb
sence of law or circumstances of exemp-
tion from local jurisdiction, marriages
will be allowed according to the laws of
the native domicile. Always, however,
in such instances, the law of native DOM
icile controls. Applying that rule to the
case al bar, If there was an absence of
law upon the high seas, conceding the
ceremony to have been there performed,
or circumstances of exemption from
marriage laws, a marriage could only
be accomplished by an observance of
the laws ard formalties of the place of
domicile. So, whether we shall assume
that the territory of the sovereign state
includes the ships of her citizens upon
the high seas, or that no law
of marriage exists upon the high
seas, still, the laws of Califor-
mia must be observed by her domiciled
citizens in the celebration of marriages
thereon.
WHICH IS THE BEST?
Counsel for Norman lay much stress
upon the fact that to declare this n
marriage blasts the reputation of an in
nocert girl. If, however, she is not this
mans wife, to continue cohabitation
with him Is but Illicit intercourse. The
concealment from her of her true rela-
ton as mistress is grievous wronS,
more injurious than can be the shock OF
her awakening to her true condition. Ir
addition, the public has ar inteest, the
state is a party, children of such rela-
tions would be bastards Surely there is
no reason why the court should hesitate
in it's decision.
THE SUMMING UP
'In my opinion, therefore, this at
tempted marriage was within the juris-
diction of the state of California; was
rever legally contracted; that there new
er was a marriage between these par
ties; that Norman'is not the husband of
this girl; hasno authority over her; but
that being minor, her father is entitled
to her custody and CONTROL that she is
being restrained, il not by force, by false
representations as to her true relations
with Norman, and by artifice and
against her fathers will 1t is ordered
that the girl, Janet Thomson be dis
charged from the custody of Homer Nor
