Not XII Boze Kun

been on trial in the Criminal Branch of the
Supreme Court before Justice Goff and
jury for several days. were acquitted last
night Of the murder of Bow Kun, who
was found stabbed to death in room at
No. II Mott street last August They re-
ceived the verdict without emotion and in
a few mirutes We're discharged and sent
under escort of patrolmen of the Elizabeth
street station back to Chinatown
The defence alleges that Chin Lin did
the act," said the justice in his charge
The defendants deny that they did the
act One of the defendants Low Tang,
has not denied that he killed Bow Kun
He simply says that he did not know her
and was not in her room that night. Low
Chang has denied that he killed Bow Kun
or that he was in her room the night of the
murder"
Justice Goff also told the Jury that in
considering the alibi the defence had tried
to establish It must be careful because
It might have been a plan or scheme on
the part of the defendants The Jury re-
tired at o'clock II considered the case
for more than an hour and was then taken
out to dinner
Terence ]. .McManus, counsel for the
with the murdered girl, of having com
n1itted the crime He reviewed the part
OF the evidence in which the latter said
he had told the police that the defendants
had threatened him and Bow Kun with
death, and said that the captain Of the
homicide bureau of the District Attorneys s
office. well as the witness for the de-
fence, had made him out liar.
Counsel referred to the Foxy Quillers''
OF the detective bureau, and said that the
detectives had taken as Gospel truth every
thing that Chin Lin had told them and
from the day the defendants were arrested
had done nothing to solve the mystery sur
rounding the murder.
Frank Moss. Assistant District Attorney
in charge of the prosecution. contended
that there was no motive to bear out the
assertion of counsel for the defence that
Chin Lin committed the crime. Mr. Moss
ridiculed the alibi which the defendants
had put In. and said that all the circur-
stances pointed TO Low Tang and Low
Shang as the murderers Of Bow Kun.

mary Removal of Daniel Wolff.


Yonkers was greatly stirred by the unex-
pected removal from Office yesterday of
Daniel Wolff. Chief of Police. by James
J. Fleming. Commissioner of Public Safety
It was held that Wolh's appointment was
Illegal because he was forty-three years
old when he took the Civil Service exami-
nation. whereas the law provides that the
appointee 10 the Office Of Police Chief must
not be more than thirty-hve years old un-
less he is a veteran of the Civil War
Wolff says he will appeal from the ac-
ton Of Commissioner Fleming and has en-
gagged James n. Hunt, a lawyer, TO look
after his interests Commissioner Fleming
says he acted on the advice OF Corporation
Counsel Thomas F. Curran
No successor to Wolff has been named
but il Is generally believed that Captain
William H Lent OF the 1st Precinct will
be appointed to the place Wolff was ap-

HIGHER RANK DENIED.
Injustice to Others to Advance Four

the Department of the Missouri: Gen.
Hodges. commanding the Department of
the Dakotas: Gen. Brush, commanding

injustice to other officers who were in the
civil war, but who had not reached the
