HEACOCK DID NOT BELIEVE
HIM UNDER OATH.

! Attorney Alfred S. Worley made an I'M
seemly exhibition of himself yesterday
morning in United States Commissioner
| Heacock's court room and in the corridor
outside after a case had been decided
| against him
Mr.. Worley is young man, a fault
easily mended in time, and he has a very
violent temper. In the words of the
| sporting fraternity he is not good
| loser" In the same dialect he doesn't
know when he is ''up against it."
| His latest venture in the field of law
has been the advocacy of the admission
| of Cinnamon who claim to be native
! born Californians, and therefore eligible
| to the office of President of the United
States. Last December, the exact date
being the 9TH, the Chinese Bureau re-
fused permission to one Of his clients to
land. When Worley was informed of the
decision he frothed at the mouth and in
the sacred precincts of the Chinese Blu
reau. where he had no right to be, he
accused Inspector Gardiner of having
perJured himself an interpreter and
challenged him TO step outside into the
corridor and fight DR.. Gardiner being
minister Of the Gospel. declined the
to the fool challenger.
Yesterday Morley swore in United
States Commissioner Heacock's court
that Walter d. Hoyt, the official stem
ographic reporter of the bureau, had per-
jured himself when he testified that his
notes and his transcript thereof were cor
rect on a very material point.
Mr.. Hoyt took the stand and sWore that
his notes and transcript were correct.
Rev. DR.. John Endicott Gardiner cQrrob-
grated Mr.. Hoyt's testimony and declared
Worley: Worley then introduced a cross
eyed Chinese barber-name unpron9unGe-
swore that Wong 81 Fun had testified be-
fore the Chinese Bureau that Worley's
client lived in house on a level terrace
of Chinese village built on hill.
Judge Heacock asked the witness from
the transcript of testimony all the ques-
given by Wong 81 Fun at the bureau ex-
animation. The cross-eyed barber proved
to be a hoodoo for Worley. for he swore
was that Fun had testified that the viii
lage was on a hillside on a level lane.
! Judge Heaeock, in rendering his decision
| nate client for deportation, said that Yee
! HooeX Hook, his witness, had been I'm
| jected'' into the case; that he was clearly
| perjurer and that the Commissioner at
| tached no credenCe whatever to his testi-
! mony. The court regretted to announce
! that he did not believe Mr.. Worley'S teSti-
At this stage Of the proceedings Morley
| seized his hat and was granted permission
| to withdraw from the room, which he did.
| the action being regarded by the spec
tators as eminently disrespectful-
! Judge Heacock said that StenOgrapher
| Hoyt and DR.. Gardiner were public Off
Gals, disinterested and faithful in the
performance of their duties, and that he
| would believe them 365 days in the year
or words to that effect-in preference to
Worley, who was working for q fee.
Woriey remained outside the corridor
waiting for Gardiner, Hoyt and Lynch.
When Hoyt made his appearance Worley
| began to abuse him, charging him with
| having committed perjury. Hoyt laughed
at him and did not notice him suff1cieatIy
to reply. Then the Walls of the baftled
attorneys wrath were turned upon DE-

land I'll expose it. He testified falsely,
and so did Hoyt."
United States Attorney Foote laid his
hand upon Worley's shoulder.
