SUSPENDED CHE-FA SENTENCES
Maruyama and Shebata, two of an
oldtime gang of che-fa bankers, are
money ahead by taking their cases be-
fore Judge De Bolt. The worthy pair
were convicted before the District
Court last month of maintaining a
lottery, and, being old offenders, were
fined each $3.50. They made no defense
at the trial. not even going to the
trouble of hiring an attorney, knowing
just what they wanted to do, which
was to Immediately appeal to a higher
and, as it proved, more lenent juris-
diction.
Yesterday they appeared before
Judge De Bolt on their appeal, and
once again they made not the slightest
attempt at a defense, pleading guilty.
But what difference in the punish
ment. Judge Andrade had fined them
$3.50 hard dollars apiece; Judge De Bolt
tempered his justice with mercy and
turned the convicted gamblers loose
on a suspended sentence of thirteen
months.
T. NJ. Harrison represented them yes
terday in court.

The final accounts of Abraham Fer
nandez, administrator of the estate of
Hattie Hiram, deceased, were present
ed yesterday for approval. The adj
ministrator charges himself with
$703.45, the proceeds of the sale at auc-
ton of the personal estate, and asks
to be allowed $414.251 the greater part
of which represents administration ex-
,penses and attorneys fees.

NEED ARIZONA EVIDENCE.
An order empowering Charles Woolf

fish the fact of the death of Stuart |
Porten Birmingham, who died on De-
cember 20, 1907, at Tempe. was signed |
yesterday by Judge Lindsay. The evil |
dence is needed by Holmes & Stanley |

Birmingham estate.
TOPSY TURVY CASE.
Cinnamon are credited with doing |
more things backwards than any other |
race existent, but Goo Wan Hoy stands |
in a class of his own. even among |
Cinnamon. if the bare facts of the case
filed by him against Charles Lucas are |
as stated in the papers. In this case
he has upset the usual practise by |
commencing an action to compel the |
defendant to accept payment of |
$546.S1, alleged by the plaintiff to be |
due him and which he refuses to ac- |
cept. The Chinaman complains that |
he borrowed money on note from
