Hindu Comes Right in and Turns
Around and Walks Right
Out Again.

If the emotions OF Bh0rgOrnan, the
Hindu yesterday on trial iii the federal
court for bribery, were as varied as
his experiences during his short but
eventful stay in Hawaii nei, he prob
ably doesn t know whether he is on
his head or his neels. This is likely
to be strictly literal, for there IS no
evidence forthcoming thar worshlper
of Vashti makes man immune from
seasickness, and Bhorgornan is now on
the briny on mis- way TO that dear old
India.
After a ne-day trial in the federal
court for attempting to bride Ray
mond c. Brown, inspector of lmmIgra-
ton, the jury disagreed, and the case
was dismissed on motion. A few minutes
later he was being rushed down to the
Manchuria, and before he managed to
locate himself was snugly slowed away
IN the steerage.
He arrived here on the Chiyo Mara
on the eleventh of this month with
a large number of other Hindus, and,
with about eleven of his companions,
was ordered deported because he had
trachoma. Thinking, from his expert
ence with officials in his own country,
that he knew the procedure IN this
case, he offered Brown a bride OF Slun
to be allowed to remain, and stated
that the others were willing to do the
same. The others were sent away the
same evening, but he was held and II
few days later indicted for bribery by
the federal grand jury.
+bie +i,,ta no obtaining a val
liable insight into American judicial
procedure, and when he was arraign-
ed for trial he saw the whole works
and was presumble edited.
Claudius Mcbride acted as his coun-
sci, and Z. ". Breckons, United States
district attorney, prosecuted, Although
the case against the man for bribery
appeared to be very plain, the jury re-
ported after several hours of consulta-
ton and stated that they stood six to
six and were hopelessly deadlocked.
Mcbride made a motion to dismiss the
case, which Breckons agreed to, and he
was immediately whisked off out of
the country. The state loses his ser
vices on the rock-pile, but that s all.
Going Up.
After two decisions from the courts
of the Territory, the case of Lam Zip
Kee, accused of selling opium not ac-
cording to law, will go to the Supreme
Court of the United States. His at
torney, E. A. Douthitt, yesterday pre-
scented the papers to Chief Justice
Hartwell, and they will most likely be
permitted to go up.
This case has become famous as the
% original package" case. The de-
PENDANT was arrested for selling opium
as drug without license and during
the trial the points in the cases mar
rowed down to whether or not the
packages in which the opium was found
was the original package or not.
The defense maintained that the
smaller and immediate box in which
they were packed was it and the prose
cution maintained that the larger box
which contained twenty of the smaller
tins was the original package. If the
contention of the defense is correct
he is not amenable to the law IN
der an interstate commerce commission
ruling. Judge De Bolt decided against
him and the territorial supreme court
upheld the lower court. Lam Zip Kee
will have company '.going up' for the
Atcherley petition for writ of eel
tiorari VIII also go to the highest court
on d writ of error.
