ALLEGED HATCHETMEN
ON TRIAL FOR MURDER
Six Jurors Sworn to Hear Evil
dence in Tong War Case

The trial of Gee Gong, a member Of
the On Yick tong, charged with the
murder of Lee Yut Wo. was begun in
Judge Dunnes court yesterday. The
defendant is accused of having shot
Lee Yut Wo at about noon November
il. in front of the ruins of the Starr
King church A number of white wit
nesses will testify to having seen him
shoot Lee Yut Wo. Yesterday was de-
voted to the impeachment of the jury
A motion by James NJ Hanley, attor-
ney for the Defense to dismiss the
entire jury panel on the ground that
the names of special veniremen mad
been inserted in the jury box was dis
missed, after Assistant District Attor-
ney McNutt had shown that this was
not so. Six jurors were sworn in and
the case continued to this morning.
The application that Gee Gongs CO.
defendants, Lee Seut Hong King Chun
and Chun Lit, should be admitted TO
bail was renewed by Hanley These
men are also charged with the murder
of Lee Yut Wo, the theory of the prose-
cution being that they instigated the
shooting and instructed Gee Gong to
kill Lee Yut Wo. The attorneys for the
defense have submitted to McNutt q
quantity of information which they
assert demonstrates the theory of the
prosecution to be false, and that these
defendants had nothing to do with the
crime. They asked AcNutt to recon-
mend to the court the admission of the
defendants TO bail.
McNutt said in court yesterday that
while he did not oppose the application,
he would not discuss the matter in the
presence of the talesmen from the jury
to try Gee Gong would be drawn.
Upon his request the hearing of the
application went over for further con-
sideratio

MURDERER is SOUGHT
IN RAILROAD CAMPS
German Vice Consul Waits
Word From Police

Through the construction camps of
the Southern Pacific company between
Rocklin and Auburn, Placer county, the
search was continued yesterday for
Joseph Livenitz, the fugitive murderer,
who, after Staying eight members of
his family, is thought to have escaped
into America and to have come to Cal
ifornia.
At the Office of the German consulate
yesterday it was stated by Vice Con-
sui Wilhelm ErythropeI that while
there was no positive evidence that
Livenitz was in California or in the
railroad camps, a man answering the
description of the fend had secured
work with the construction gang and
was being searched for.
We do not expect to hear today
from the police or the sheriff at Au-
burn said the vice consul, but some
word should come tomorrow. 1t is
probable that the man has not yet
left Germany. The German frontier
was guarded closely against his emf
grafton to a foreign country, and he
might still be in Germany. But we had
suff1cient suspicion that he was in Cal
ifornia to lead us to institute search.
If he is caught he will be extradited.'

BEATTY MUST FIGHT
TO GAIN LEGACY
Contest Filed in Oakland to In
validate Will of Mrs. Eliz=
abeth B. Hitchcock

OAKLAND. Jan. 19.-AIrs. Elizabeth
V. Smith of Napa began contest in
the Alameda county courts today to
break the will of Mrs Elizabeth b.
Hitchcock, her aunt, who bequeathed
the bulk of her $4,000 estate to her
attorney, Assemblyman Henry N
Beatty of San Francisco. Mrs. Smith
sets forth that Beatty made violent
love to Mrs. Hitchcock, despite the dis
parity of their ages. Beatty is Il. Mrs
Hitchcock was 73 at the time of her
death December .2S of last year.
Beatty denied specifically today all
of the allegations of Mrs. Smith, con-
tending that they We're brought forth
without a shred of foundation. He de-
clared that there had been no undue
influence, but that Mrs. Hitchcock had
distributed her property according to
her own free will.
Mrs. Hitchcock was the widow of D.
w. Hitchcock for many years Union
Pacific agent at San Francisco. She
left $4,000 to Mrs. Smith and the lat
ter's infant daughter, $4,000 to Mrs
Jeanne Francoeur of San Francisco and
the remainder. amounting to some s56,-
600, TO Beatty. Mrs. Smith says in her
complaint:
Before participating in 1uncheons
with Beatty, Mrs. Hitchcock would
dress specially for the occasion and
would place on her fingers several
costly diamond rings and wear
costly diamond Jewels. After such
a luncheon she would state what a
good time she had with him. She
said he was a perfect man and that
she thought more of him than of
her friends. She told him that he
should not marry another woman
as long as she lived. She said that
if she wanted to marry him she
would and that he would get the
most of her estate.
In conclusion Mrs. Smith declares
that Mrs. Hitchcock was of unsound
mind when he drew up her will.

the vicinity of Mission street and Silver
avenue is desired. The city has appro-
priated 100000 to build the station.
