oIing business TO come before United |
States Commissioner Davis. His ex-
animation took place yesterday and he
was hound over to the court on bond
of $1,000.
Should the testimony given at the
preliminary examination be correct An
Fook stands a chance of figuring as
one of the central characters in the
matter. He is an intelligent, shrewd
looking Chinaman and his appearance
fits the part he would have to play to
be what it seems he is, a receiver Of
the opium removed from the ships lille
gally.
His place in the chain was yesterday
determined by the evidence given on
the stand by Kaikai, a Hawaiian who
has been arrested also on the same
charge. 1t seems that All Fook offered
him large some of money to go on
hoard the China when here four or five
weeks ago, seek out a certain China
man in the crew and tell him that he
wanted the opium.
This. says, Kaikai, he did with the
result that Chinaman in question led
him to a little visited part of the ship
and gave him three or four tins of the
poppy drug. Kaikai put these under
| his coat and left the ship through the
| cargo port, mixing with the stream of
stevedores who were working on her
cargo.
That the tins contained opium was
pretty well established by the intro
duction of a conversation where All
Fook was heard to remark that the
tins contained opium of poorer class.
This evidence precludes a possibility
of the defense forcing the prosecution
to prove that the tins contained opium,
which would be hard to do otherwise.
! The next witness to take the stand
vas Charlie All Foo, who is a Chinese
water carrier for the stevedores on the
wharves. He testified to having over
heard All Fook paying Kaikai for his
| part of the business. All Foo saw the
money change hands and when he ask
ed All F'ook what was doing, the latter
mentioned opium.

Clearing Up.
The muddy and muddled accounts of
Sau Kee and All Pho, erstwhile copart-
ners in the salt business, have been par
italy cleared up. After many weeks
of work, John Marcallino who had been
appointed master to look over the
respective accounts of the partners,
turned in long report on the condi-
tions of affairs to the court only to
have it contested by one of the part
ners.
The court then took a hand in it and
after several days of hopeless labor de-
cided to pool the assets and divide them
equally between the copartners, The
petition which started all the trouble
was one for dissolution of partnership.
Marcaiiino was appointed receiver and
last Monday sold their property at auc.
ton in front of the Judiciary building
for $500 to G. J. Waller, trustee for
one of the partners.

leaves $1S4935.
