taken to s. D. Evans undertaking par
lOrs and that the companions of the
deceased had gone away. Only from
the night superintendent of the hOspi-
tai did they learn that the man had
been killed by q Chinaman. She was
able to tell them that it occurred on
the corner of Third West and Fourth
North streets, and they drove there at
once.
The officers found Chin Poy at his
house engaged in his usual morning
work. ard apparently unconscious that
he had done anything wrong When
told that he was wanted for murder,
the Chinaman acted as though he did
not comprehend, and when finally made
to understand that he had killed a man,
Poy declared that he did not know that
he had ev n hurt any one. He sub
mitted without a word and gave the
officers his gun, which was under a
table in his ROOM One of the officers
then informed s. Il. Holmes of his
brothers death.
When Poy's gun was examined at
the station it was found TO be a As
calibre Colts revolver. The gun was
a siX-shOoter and contained six cart
ridges. two of which were empty and
one bore evidence of having been fired
lately.
Chinaman Admits Firing.
Poy admitted that he had fired at
the men, but claimed that he knew
nothing of Holmes having been hit.
In telling his story of the affair, the
Chinaman. who is an inoffensive look
ing man, said that he was asleep in his
house, when suddenly awakened by
rocks thrown against his door and
board covered windows. He thought
some one was trying to batter them
down.
A Different Story
Poy said that after pelting the door
with rocks. three men forced it open
and started in. He said he got up and
grabbed his gun from under a table
nearby and told the fellows at the door
to leave. He said they did not do it,
and ne went towards the door and
threaten TO shoot if they did not.
The Chinaman said they still refused
10 go and he fired at them. He had
money in the house and he thought
they were trying to rob him. Poy
said he only saw three men and that
when he fired they ran down the street.
After they had gone he went back to
bed and didn't know that he had hurt
1hy one.
Poy denied that he had chased
Holmes down the street and said that
he did not leave his yard He talked
freely about how he had shot at the
men and grew greatly excited when he
described how they had pelted his
house with rocks but he did not seem

How Does This Strike the Peo
ple.

We publish to day the laws in
reference to the additional crimi.
nal jurisdiction to be conferred
upon the justices of the peace for
Frederick County. If these laws
meet with the approval of our
taxpayers and citizens, it is
claimed that there will be a saw
ing of many thousands of dollars
by the trial of minor cases, which
at present go before the Grand
Jury aud then before the courts.
Here we have expense and delays;
expenses before the Grand Jury
and expenses before the courts.
The additional compensation to
the magistrates is only fair and
just, as additional responsibility
and labor is placed upon them
by the laws in question.
