the hardened officials of the court.
Lawyer Thomas H. Morgan represent
ed the defendant and Assistant District
Attorney Robert II. Roy conducted the
case for the prosecution
The jury was secured in the record
breaking time of ten minutes Mr. Roy
asking the jurors but one question.
DO you believe it a public service to
take the life of a Chinaman2"
To which the jurors individually. an
swered No"
Mr.. Morgan, after satisfying himself
that none Of the jurors was a member
of the Washington Avenue Baptist
church, which conducts a Chinese sun
day school, or was interested in Chi
nese mission work. accepted the jury.
Several Cinnamon testified for the
prosecution in pigeon English, but the
chief evidence was the ante-mortem
statement of the dead Chinaman and
the girls own testimony.
Judge Crane made a brief and ieapar
tial charge and the case was given into
the hands of the jury.
While the jury deIiberated May Kern
sat in the side room. smoothing the folds
of her gown and arranging the white
streamer on her black turban. The state
did not press for a verdict of murder in
the first degree, and after 25 minutes
absence the jury returned with a YER
dict Of manslaughter in the second de-
gree. The defendant cast a glance at
the foreman Of the Jury as the verdict
was rendered. and then her eyes drop

after her pedigree had been taken, she
was on her way back to the prison.

TOURISTS SEE ICE FIELDS.
Surprisingly Beautiful Scenes Around
Niagara Draw Vast Crowds.

Buffalo. n. Y, Jan. 26.-Ice fields at
Niagara Falls are more beautiful this
year than ever before, and never have
so many visitors been on the spot at
midwinter. For three or four weeks all
the trains of the Michigan Central rail-
road have taken to the falls consider
able crowds of winter tourists from the
west. From the east the railroads that
center in Buffalo have brought liberal
quota of visitors, most of them from
New York and Pennsylvania, the New
England states and Canada, but not a
few of them foreigners. All have been
awed and impressed nightly by the
spectacle of the gigantic waterfalls in
the grasp of winter.
Across the river, from the very base
Of the falls, a mammoth ice gorge ex-
tends several hundred feet below the
internal ional bridge 1t completely
from end to end and from shore to
shore.
TObogganing and coasting on the ice
have never before been SO popular. It
seems as if the sense of danger no long
er has force over the multitudes Then,
too, perhaps the idea that there was
danger had been exaggerated to a great
extent At any rate the most pFecip-
itous gorges in the ice fields have no
terrOrS any more for the gay jewellers.
Down the ice clad mountain side,
through glistening mist of half frozen
spray, the merry makers in the tobog-
gans and cOasting sleds speed along
with the SWiftnesS of a DrOiectfIe from
a warship cannon. At the base of the
speedway they behold the gorge at its
best, with cakes of ice as big as the
Masonic temple and still other cakes
that were once as big, but now are pull
verified into snoWlike atoms and streWn
along the rocky shore.
They see the cave of the winds"
transformed into an open chasm of
rock. with overhanging festoons Of solid
Ice. They have reveled in behOlding q
wilderness of frosted white coatings
upon the trees and foliage of park and
island; they have slid down the foot
way to Terrapin rock from which the
view is beautiful; they have stood upon
the island bridge to listen, with fascina-
ton, to the terrific boom OF the ice
cakes. swept past to be tossed on high
and broken to fragments upon the hid
den rocks below.
Standing upon the mountains of ice in
the Niagara at winter time gives sen
satlon never to be forgotten What
seem monster icebergs, and fttingly
called such, confront the sightseer at
every turn. Gazing down through a
yaWnIng crevasse one sees the mad rush
and swirl of the mighty river Amid the
ceaseless din is heard the thunderous
roar of the falling waters. They leap
and bound and seem driven back as they
attack the monster ice cakes in mid
stream, but in the turgid whirlpools
they gain new strength and plunge for
ward again into another abyss of ice
and rocks, while above is an enveloping
atmosphere of frozen spray and milky
mists and far beneath a long row of
fantastic stalagmites or slender stall
actites, giving the appearance of
mounds of frosty diamonds sparkling
radiantly in the soft sunlight

street, Brooklyn, on October q last
She was the most unconcerned person
in the court room when the foreman of
the jury, in low voice, announced the
verdict and later, when she was called
before Judge Crane to have her record
taken, the girl made answer to the
clerks questions in sullen, resentful
manner
The testimony showed that on the
night Of October p she entered the Chi
naman's place and, telling him that she

parents. begged Fo Wah to permit her
to remain there
The next morning. while the China
man was bending over his trunk to get
some trinkets for the Girl. she plunged
q knife into his back.
TO Wah ran after her through the
street until he fell from exhaustion.
Three hours later he died
All this testimony the girl heard with
out the slightest emotion on her pretty
face, and most of the time with her in
nocent looking blue eyes gazing hope
fully out of the court room window.
She took the witness stand in her own
pruall- ana Qen-eu all the essential de-
tails Of the story as related by the pros

20 get out. and then he rushed at me
with the knife again. I grabbed the
knife, and, after cutting my hand bad

him. Then he ran to get another knife.
and fearing that my life was in danger,
I stabbed him in self-defense"
The story was told in O. rnonotonous
way, without any seeming recognition

for killing man, and on cross-exarnf-
nation she made damaging admissions.
