he has enormous strength; morally he is
weaker than a baby. Worn by grief,

fed against him yesterday AT New Bruns-

Affections might have gained him mer-

The younger Ling is thirty years of age.
He was caught stealing clothes and tried
before Judge Strong. The court inter
prefer did not number the sign language
among those he has at the tips of his
tongue or fingers. But Clerk of the Court
Oberman solved the difficulty He wrote
on pad of paper:
You are charged with stealing clothes
from So-and-so at such-and-such time.
What is your defense?"
Ling read ii and wrote:
81 plead guilty. 1 was drunk at the time
and did not know what | was doing"
The Judge was inclined to mercy. But
Lings father, whose name he bears was
called TO testify TO his sons bad char
acter The old mans voice shook as he
said:
II can say nothing good of him. For
eighteen years he has dsgraced me- He
has been continually in trouble / am
poor. but time and again l made restitu-
tion that he might not be punished for
his petty thefts. He served a term in
State prison but, if possible he has been
worse since he was released. He can earn
an honest living, for he is an expert cob
bier and hsrness-maker.''
DO you know the deaf-mute signs?"
Judge Strong asked the elder Ling.
Yes. your honor"
Tell him / sentence him to two years
Imprisonment at hard labor
Slowly Ling spelled out the words His
son set hard his jaws, until the muscles
of his temples Dungled, and glared at
him. Then he was led away.

About midnight the opportunity came
to have taken the prisoner without

The deputies lodged in the superin-

shouted that he would submit to arrest.

of the bloody deed in its appar-

25-cent lottery ticket, the train OF
powder was the evil passion and
blind rage of one who had been

Chang had purchased the tic

that the ticket had won SIoo in

the money. Sing assured him

captured he would be hanged or
imprisoned for life, either of
which punishment he was deter
mined not to undergo. AS the
night grew apace, with the hope
of escape dwindling away before
the increased vigilance of his
guards, he saw that he was fated.
Fated for what? To keep his word
that if an attempt should be made
to capture him he would blow up
the magazine. He was there and
he could not get out. 1t was
evident that his course was run.
Beyond this assumed fact his mar
row mind could not go. There
was no room in his breast for the
innocent who would suffer for his
act, the women who would be
widowed, the children who would

creed, so he reasoned, that the
officers of the law should die with
him, and when he had lured them
closer to the ambushed demon he
turned the monster loose and
tore them and himself into atoms.
There can be no question that
the officers were over-conhdent
and imprudent. Had they not
kept SO close guard, had they
gone out of sight and allowed the
murderer to have escaped from
the building and from the
grounds there would have been
no mourning hearts in Alameda
