CASE is ON
frrom wednesdays AdvertIser.l

tFrom Wednesdays Advertiser)
There were one or two interesting
things cropped up in the course yes
terday of the trial of former Deputy
sheriff c. +. Chillingworth on the
charge of extortion. This is one OF the
Halter eases. so.called. The trial was
not concluded, developing toward the
close of the day into something IKE
a search of the records of the Pollce
Department and the Police Court for
September last. The specific charge
in the indictment is that Chilling
worth extorted SIS from one Tajiro
Sumida. The story is not very nice
one to tell, but practically as 1t was
stated by Deputy Attorney-General
Peters in his opening address, it was
that Chillngworth had broken down
the door of a room in which woman
was with Sumida, and had compelled
the payment TO himself of SIS by the
man and $40 by the woman by way
of bail money. Mr.. Peters also claim
ed that it would be shown by the po-
lice books that no record of the arrest
had ever been made there.
Ukino Miyasaki, the woman in the
case, was the first witness called by
the prosecution, anu testified that she
had paid the ten dollars to Chilling
worth, and that he had told her he
would not take her to the station If
she would do that.
A japanese employed in store
where the woman had gone to borrow
the money testified to that effect, and
then Sumida told his part of the story.
But he created something of a sensa-
tion when, after telling it, he said he
had been sent for by Shiozawa, editor
of Shinpo Sha, who had taken him
toy Detective Halter, to whom he had
told his story.
The Japanese woman who kept the
store and who loaned the money to be
paid to Chillingworth testified to her
part in the transaction, and then Po-
lice Clerk MacKinnon was called and
produced the police arrest record book,
which did not show the names of the
japanese man and woman. 1t did,
however, among the entries made on
September l3, show the names of four
japanese arrested for the same Of
Tense. Mr.. Peters objected most siren
uously to the bringing out of this point
on cross-examination, but Attorney
Thompson for Chilhngworth carried his
point, making the admission when the
court told him that the testimony
meant nothing that it would be shown
that the identity or the two japanese
in the case would be shown to be Gov
cred by these four names.
District Court Clerk Fabian was call
ed next to show that the names of the
Japs\ did not appear in the court records
and was on the stand when court au
journed.
The following jury is trying the cas-
before Judge De Bolt: Milus Park
hurst, Charles G. Bartlett, w. +. Mac
farlane Jr., H. B. Saylor, job Bathel
Ter, w. p. Roth, Donald Ross, II. w
Green, w. L. Lyle, Frank j. Robello
James Steiner and VIM. Lono Austin.
