City Attorney Catheart still manages

nolle prosequis entered. The latest one
to his credit or otherwise, relates to
the case of Wong Suck Pui. The China
man was found guilty by District Ma
gistrate Monsarrat of assault and bat
terry and was sentenced to pay fine of
$40 and costs of $3.50. He appealed
to the circuit court, but when the mat
ter was called before First Judge
Cooper a nolle prosequi was entered by
Deputy Brown who represented Cath
cart s Office.
The facts brought out in the police
court showed that Wong Suck Pui tried
to throttle Lau zee Tong and to brain
him with a hammer.
Lau zee Tong swore that in broad
daylight ON July Is, Wong Suck Put
went to his room on Maunakea street,
in the rear of the Chinese theater and
grabbed him by the throat. Wong
Suck Put had hammer in his left hand
and Lau zee Tong tried to ward off
that hand. He could not yell because
the other man held his throat so tight.
ntIG was d WOudn bu0 IOOm. W.
other Cinnamon came in and separated
the fighters. Defendant dropped the
hammer, which was produced in court.
All Kong and Mrs. Tin Woo gave
corroborative evidence as to the chok-
ing.
Wong Suck Pui swore that Lau zee
Tong first attacked him with the ham
mer which, he said belonged to the
latter. He then seized him by the
throat in self.defense. He said he did
not take the hammer into the room.
The fight was over money.
