of the MADEIRA Bank is again at liber-
ty having been released from Folsom

Baird was manager OF the John Brown
Colony of MADEIRA, as well as of the
MADEIRA Bank, the collapse of the latter
involving the practical destruction of
the former In the vault of the Ma
dera Bank were scores of promissory
notes bearing the names of men of
prominence in all parts of the San Joa
quin Valley, the signatures to many
of the notes being forgeres. BAR i
admitted one forgery, and this confess
sion led to on admission of an elab-
crate scheme of forgery and deception.
He was sent to prison for seven years.

ly required to report to the prison au-
thorities at regular intervals.

this morning at 10:30 o'clock for the
killing of his uncle. Yu Lick Chung. at
the Globe Hotel in San Francisco last
September.
He met his death with the character
istic stole SIN CT His race. and appeared to
be utterly Indifferent during the final
preparations for his execution. The
murderer was pronounced dead twelve
and a half minutes after the drop fell.
Wing Tung was q resident of San
Francisco, where he went first in 1877.
He was an intelligent Chinese, and socn
learned to speak and read English with
ease. For many years he seemed peace
ably enough inclined, but last year he
became involved in a quarrel with his
uncle. Yu Lick Chung, over which he
brooded morosely for some weeks. Fin
ally, having apparently made up his
mind with all elaboration, he went 10
his uncle's room in the old Globe Hotel
building on the ID Of September and shot
his relative dead. His only explanation
was that his uncle deserved TO die, be-
cause he had talked too much.
Wing Tung was promptly tried ana
convicted and his case is remarkable in
that it is the first time since the carry
ing cut Of executions at San Quentin has
been the rule condemned murderer has
gone to the gallows without having
taken an appeal TO the Supreme Court.

10 O'Clock this morning, the opening hour
of the court, the jury agreed in the Elan
RELY case, and when court was called to

of the spectators. Next Friday was
fixed for sentence.

evident. however, that he was consid-
