JUDGE SCORES

Hora Built a House for ]. Lucas
and Then Started to 0emolish
it With Axes.

Two very heavy penalties were impos-
ed by Judge Wilcox in the District Court
yesterday. Manuel Garcia was charged
with adultery and was sentenced to pay
a fine of 500 and serve three months in
jail. Mrs. Lima Bailey was fined $50 and
costs on a similar charge. and All
Cheong, charged with gross cheat, was
sentenced to be imprisoned at hard labor
for one year.
The magistrate gave Garcia particu-
larly stiff lecture and said that the
alienation of the affections of a married
woman merited the full penalty of the
law. Attorney Vivas, who appeared for
the defense, noted an appeal in the case
of the male defendant.
All Cheong was alleged to have signed
the name of Wong Kwai to a check for
$50 on Bishops bank. The charge was
originally one of forgery, but that of
gross cheat was substituted, in order
that the case might be disposed of with
out mourning the delay attendant upon a
committal to the Circuit Court Defend
ant SAID ''he done it,"
He told the Court THAI he was pinched
for money at the time, and that he owed
a friend $50. which was troubling his con-
science. One night he saw a vision while
| he slept. In the vision a man appeared
to him and told him to make out a check
for $50. with which money he was to dis
charge his obligations.
When All Cheong came to the next
| morning he got him a couple of blank
checks and asked Wong KWai who low
ed him, to fill them out. Wong Kwai
4 Ill a.
when it came TO signing them. Then All
Cheong took the pen to save his friend
the trouble, and attached an imitation of
Wong kwai's autograph to the checks.
Defendant said that he thought it would
be all right, and emphat!cally declared
that he meant to do nothing wrong.
Here High Sheriff Brown joshed the
dreamer a little, and asked him if he re-
membered seeing a little room with iron
bars and no carpet on the floor in his
dream.
When All Cheong had done relating his
visionary experiences, Judge Wilcox took
up the subject. He said that he some
times had dreams and that it was his
experience that they went by contraries.
You can't bank on a Dream said he
to defendant las you found out, by the
bye. According to your dream every
thing was going to be lovely and the
reverse has proved to be the case. You

Il japanese contractor, arrested yester- |
day. Lucas says that some time ago |
Hora contracted to build house for |
Lucas. The job was to be finished by |
July. but Hora did not live up to his con-
tract and Lucas had to take possession
