 unteered the information that he un
 derstood Bennett but Bennett proba
 ply misunderstood him during thei
 interview at the jail
 Cross Examination.
 Clark addressed his questions dir
 ect to the witness and insisted ol keeping the conversation in English When baked, he asked if Chun hadn' just admitted understanding Bennett The court decided the case coulC progress more swiftly in a Chinese medium.
 The state then endeavored to learr more about Ming Yee. It appeared that Ming was Chinaman capable of performing not only laundry work but domestic service connected with the preparation of food. He is a Je- rome boy but is temporarily residing in Prescott. Chun learned of this through friends but hadn't seen Ming in Prescott or in the court room.
 Ming left Chun's laundry late the evening of the killing because he couldn't perform the work offered him by Chun. Possibly he had gone back to Jerome.
 It was then brought out that the barber shop to which Chun went fo, washing, was closed. In several oth- CT trips to that barber shop at this hour, the place was closed.
 The state then figuratively opened up Chun's hand luggage In it, the witness remembered having placed some certificates of stock in Chinese steamship company, his choek-gee, a coat, small mirror pair of scissors and saw. These articles, the state insisted, constituted what Chun re- garded as his valuableS. An effort was then made to learn why Chun had packed his good coat in the suit case and had planned on going to Jerome in less respectable garments - the clothing he ordinarily wore while massaging the soiled raiment of his customers. Chun's answers were not very enlightening on this point, but he did say something about being glad he had chosen apparel that later kept him warm in jail
 Chun could not tell who had open ed his back door. He then took ad vantage of the hill he had establish ed on the road to Verde and used it to explain why he was breathless when caught by the officers. His in- terrogator questioned him in such a manner as to bring out an appear ance Of flight

 The Feminine Element.
 "You and Mrs. An Fee were pretty l well acquainted, were you not?"
 Chun denied it. Lucille had been brought to the Chun establishment once by her husband-no, three oi four times.
 During the flu quarantine did you not send many notes to Mrs. An Fee by Officer MtDermid?"
 The witness had not. He had leard from friend in Frisco about the death of some girl relative, and lad been told Mrs. An Fee had pass .d on. The only inquiry he direct ed on this subject was to An Fec. himself and went forward not by message but by United States mail.
 At this juncturc another amusing arose. In his earnestness, he witness dropped into English. The interpreter revealed this aston shing fact to the court when he con essed inability to understand Chun, iaying, T can't interpret that. He's lying to talk English
 If An Fee die, 1 lose much mon y," the witness stated just before he vas excused and the court adjourned Ialf an hour early because the de- ense wanted time to hunt up Ming Tee, who had inadvertently left the OOm.
