WAH BROUGHT TO
 JUSTICE FOR REVENGE
(From Fridays DanwN

getting mad and telling Sheriff Joe
 Young that Wah was selling and i'm
 porting whiskey was the story told by w. P. How, the principal witness
 for the State yesterday at a hearing
 in the Justice court before Judge Nc.
 Lane.
 For a mah up on a bootlegging charge the story was an entirely new
 one and unlike those told in former
 whiskey selling cases, for How is not
 being paid by the county and is not a 'spotter". He is merely, according to
 hls own story, a citizen of the United
 States who became mad at a China
 man and who decided to get back at
 him by using the law.
 At the hearing he proved himself
 to be very clever and able China
 man, for the evidence he gave was
 unknown to the county attorney or sheriff's office when they came into
 the Justice court.
 1 Wan was given an examination yes
 terday on the charge of introducing intoxicating liquor into the State, and after placing seven witnesses on the stand, Deputy County Attorney Nor
 gan completed the case for the prose cution. The defense, which is repre- scnted by Attorney R. E. Morrison, will start with its side at ? o'clock tEis afternoon.
 flows testimony, although he was
 the last one on the stand, was probab.
 " the most interesting of all and wa. eagerly awaited by about dozen
 other Chinaman who crowded the small court room. He came to Pres colt from Phoenix on the first of last January and has been here ever since. He was born in Santa Cruz county, California, and is about 3l years old. When examined by Nor gan he told of having purchased from Wan on September 4, three Chinese flasks of whiskey for Sl.6O each. On September 20 he bought two glasses O; whiskey in Wah's store, he claims, for the sum of 25 cents each Since the first of the year he has bought about 10 bottles. He said the liquor in the four boxes, which were brought in the Justice court as exhibits, was manufactured in China, and that il was shipped here by a man named Ye Hang in San Francisco. He said that the two glasses he bought on the 10th of last month we're doped and made him sick so he decided to tell the officers.
 The best part of his testimony came when he was cross-examined by Attorney Morrison, and said that he was a friend of the defendants and is always . friend of everybody. He said that after Wah doped him he went home and was sick in bed for two days, and that during that time his bowels moved about once every 1 IS minutes. He said the only pur i pose he had in coming to the sheriffs office was to get even with Wah. When he got the three flasks of whis- key he said that it lasted him 10 days and he was drunk nearly all of that time.
 Morrison asked How if he had not come into Wah's store on the night of September 4 to pay Wah $25O that he owed him. How replied that he had not and that he gave Wah check for $ for three bottles of whis- 1ey at $l.60 per bottle, three pack ages of tobacco at five cents per pack lge, and for 9 package of cigarette papers. Morrison asked him if he -ould show the returned check with hat date on it and made out to Wah, md How pulled it out of his pocket.
 Paul J. Carlisle, the chemistry teach 1T at the high school, also gave some interesting testimony, declaring that wo ounces of the whiskey that he ; lad examined would be sufficient to , nake most people intoxicated. The ( lask of liquid found in one of the 'oxes taken by the sheriff's office l n their raid contained $ and 45-100 CT cent alcohol, and the bottle Of quid he examined taken from an ther box contained 3S and 1-10 per I ent alcohol, according to his analysis. Z Ie said he would call the liquid in le bottle brand of corn whiskey, i, nd that in the flask gin, claiming :. nat liquids containing between 30 f nd 40 per cent of alcohol were whis- a ics and all over that were known as z, ins. :, I. P. Burnett, of the Plaza Trans ., T Company, testified to having got \ n five cases marked sauce similar ,.
