.IHf QUICK CONVICTION OF QUONG yU, MERCHANT
The Jury Believed Him Guilty of Com
 plicity in New York Store Burglary.

Quong Yu the Chinese merchant, was yesterday afternoon found guilty of complicity with Arvisa in the sys- tematic burglary of the New York store for some time previous to the dis covery of the crime last December, when Arvisa was caught in the act. A few days later he confesed implicat- ing the Chinaman-
 His. confession was partially con firmed by the finding of many of the stolen goods in Quong Yu's place of business. They were found under the blankets of his bed. sThere were sev- eral hundred dollars worth of them but how much more had preceded them and been disposed of could only be guessed at.
 The trial of QuOng Yu began on Fri day afternoon and just before the hour of adjournment a jury was secured and excused until the regular hour for opening court. Kiball Pomeroy, one of the members of the jury, returned to his home at Mesa where he found a state of affairs which be believed call ed for his prolonged absence. It was bONs iiipi iiAllS MI roy telephbned the court as to the stat us of affairs.
 Nothing could be done about it inn mediately for all the jurymen who had not been impaneled in this case had been excused until II o'clock. At that hour another jury was made up for the trial of Quong Yu. Before it had been fully qualified the court told the members that if they anticipated the occurrence of such an accident as had prevented the re-appearance of MT. Pomeroy the court desired to be in formed. Not a member acknowledged the imminence of such an incident and the trial proceeded.
 It did not take long to put the testi- mony in. There was some doubt whether it would be possible to secure a conviction on the charge of burglary though it seemed easy to convict the Cf1inaman of having received stolen goods As to his actual participation in the crime of burglary there was nothing but the word of the accom- plice supported by the fact that the stolen goods were found in the pos session of the defendant. There was nice point here but evidently did not worry the jury for the verdict was quickly returned.
 Yesterday was the time set for pass ing sentence on Arvisa but the matter was set over to Mar 20
 It the case of Tom Johnson, who had been convicted the day before of assault with a deadly weapon, the passing of sentence was continued to May 20
