be some very interesting testimony
brought out in the case today and it
is probable that Parker will appear as

TAMPA CHINAMAN
Is FOUND GUILTY
Trial Of Chester Wing, Charged With
Smuggling Chinese Into United
States Ends Yesterday.

Chester Wing. the Tampa Chinaman
who was named in the indictment re-
turned by the last grand jury in con-
inection with the smuggling of Chinese
aliens Illegally into the United States
on the steamer Viola. was found guilty
in the federal court last night, the jury
returning the verdict shortly before 10
o'clock
The entire day was spent in dispos-
ling of the case and practically the
same evidence brought out in the trial
of the three men who were convicted
Thursday on the same charge, was de-
duced in the trial yesterday The main
point of the defense was that the boat
was landed, not Intentionally, but UNI
der the stress of weather and beyond
control of the crew. However the
state contended that a conspiracy was
entered into by the defendant, Chess
ter Wing, and that the celestials We're
brought into the country Illegally and
unlawfully, and that the evidence pro-
duced warranted a conviction.
There were five witnesses to testify
in the case. Ullman, the foreigner,
who was one of the crew Of the boat
on which the Cinnamon were brought
ITO the shores of Florida and who was
a government witness in the trial Of
Thursday, also testified against Wing,
Johnson and Krzyzaniak, two members
of the crew who were convicted Thurs
day, also were called upon the stand.
The other two witnesses were Kite
Chin and Chin Jack, two of the men
who were Struggled into this country,
who testified through the government
interpreter who has been retained
throughout the Chinese smuggling
cases.
The prosecution, which was one of
the most vigorous witnessed this term,
was headed by District Attorney John
L. Neeley, who was very ably assisted
by Assistant District Attorney Earl
Hoffman. The defendant was repre-
scented by Walter Kehoe and Attorney
Phillips of Tampa, the Chinaman's per-
sonal counsel who was brought from
his home to aid in the defense.
After lengthy charge by Judge
Sheppard in which he explained speci.
fically the different points of law in
volved in the case, the jury retired to
the jury room and were out about 80
minutes when they returned with
verdict of guilty as charged, on two
counts. However sentence was not
imposed and will probably not be inn
posed until some time next week, at
which time all four men convicted in
connection with the case will probably
be arraigned and sentenced.
Jack OLeary, who was also named
in the indictment, has not yet been ap-
pretended, it being generally under
stood that he is at present IN Cuba
