Den
Jury in Yee Gueng Murder Trial
Retires fcr Night With
out Agreeing.
We
JJL
SUBMITTED AT 6:30 P. M.
Jteported Around Courthouse That
Oriental Charged With Killing .
Lie Dal Hoi Would Probably
Know Fate Early Today.
No verdict was reached last night
In the case of Yee Guengr. charged with
the murder of Lee Dal Hoy. The Jurv
which heard the case in Judge Bro"
naugh's department of the Circuit
rort retired at 6:30 o'clock last night.
I P to midnight no agreement had been
reached and the Jurors retired for the
night. It -was understood around the
I'ouvthouse that the jurv was near a
verdict and that Indications were an
agreement would be reached today.
I-ee Dal Hoy, a Chinese merchant, and
sn officer In the Bow On Tong. was rid
dled with bullets In (he hallway of the
old Arlington Club building at Fourth
and I'ine streets, on the night of March
7. 1908. He was taken to the hospital,
nnd there Identified two of his assassins,
although he said there was a third man
whom the officers had not arrested.
I'Pm Woon Under Sentence.
L.em Woon. whom Lee said shot him.
was convicted and is under sentence to
be hanged. Yee. according to the state's
testimony Introduced in the case Just
closed, was with Lera on the night of the
shooting, aiding and abetting him, and
therefore equally guilty. Testimony was
introduced by the defense to disprove
this.
Attorney Ralph W. Moody went over
the case of the defense in his argument
to the Jury yesterday morning, and was
followed by attorney Henry K. McGinn.
The latter contended that. Yee told the
truth when he said that he was eating
supper at the time of the murder.
Judge McGinn contended that the Chi
nese do not need the protection of the
white man; that our forefathers came
across the plains, defending themselves
with their rifles, asking nothing of the
Government. "But here are these Chi
nese coming in here, and asking us to
protect one faction from the' other. What
difference does It make If every China
man kills every other Chinaman? But
when the Chinaman comes In and med
dles with . the white man we will take
care of him properly."
Judge McGinn then went on to discuss
the theory of the state that A. Yamata.
a Japanese witness, was bribed to testify.
The detectives who testified might also
have been bribed, he contended. "There
never was any more corrupting Influ
ence In the world than the Chinatown of
San Francisco, and those of New York
and Chicago, so far as the morals of the
police are concerned. he contended.
Why." he continued. "Chinatown deals
out money to the paid detectives whom
yu and I by taxation support. But
entlernen. bribery is not done in writ
ing; it is done In cash, on the spot."
MeGlnn Closes Tils Case.
Judge McGinn finished his argument
nt 2:30 o'clock and was followed by spe
cial prosecutor Dan J. Malarkev. He
carefully picked up the strands which the
attorneys for the defense had scattered,
and wove them, so to speak. Into a con
secutive whole.
Judge McGinn had referred In his ar
Ktiment to a killing in a Chinese theater
nhout ? years ago, in which two Chinese
were convicted, but obtained a reversal
"f the case by the Supreme Court. Mr.
Malarkey pointed out that the pair were
afterward convicted' by Judge McGinn
himself, who was then District Attorney,
and that one Yee Gong was also a de
fendant, but was not convicted. "Yee
has testified that he has been in Port
land for 20 years." continued Mr. Ma
larkey. "but I will not attempt to say
that -this defendant Is the same man
who was tried back there."
"Jul Gul the fixer, the fellow who waa
spending California money to defeat the
ends of Justice." Is the term Attorney
Malarkey used In speaking of this China'
man. who has assisted the defense
throughout the trial. He also graphic
ally described to the Jury the manner in
which the state's attorneys punctured
the testimony of the Jap. Yamata. who
was brought from Walla Walla to tell
of the crime.
MISS FAUXO IS SUED AGAIN

Piggott and James A. Finch. The latter

THEATERS TO GIVE BENEFIT
Performance for Hose Festival Will
Be Held on May 8.
At a meeting of the Theatrical Man
agers' Association in the office of
President George L. Baker, yesterday,
it was decided to hold a monster bene
fit performance for the general Rose
Festival fund, at the Baker Theater,
the night of Saturday. May 8.
This proposition for devising ways
and means of assisting the annual flor
al fete came up when the local play
houses were asked to subscribe to the
fund, last Fall. No basis for making
equitable pledges for the different class
houses could be made at that time, and
In lieu of this, the benefit Idea was
suggested.
The plan, while entirely tentative, is
to have Individual acts selected from
current attractions on at the various
houses appear on the Festival benefit
programme. This will make the bill
a combined vaudeville, literary, musi
cal, dramatic and specialty programme,
run off without expense to the man
agement, so that the entire receipts
may be turned over to the Festival.
The local Musicians' Union expects
to assist In giving this benefit, but in
just what way has not been decided.
It has been suggested that a massed
band, composed of all the union musi
cians in the city, be organized to help
the cause along.
BOYS TREED BY COUGAR
Dog-s Taken to Spot Next Day and
Run Down Coon.
VANCOUVER. Wash., April 22.
(Special.) Treed by a cougar. Bill
Sweeney and Tour.g Mosier, two young
men, spent several hours among the
branches last night, not far from their
homes In Grass Valley, about four
miles from Camas. The animal with
its eyes glaring at them from the
darkness finally disappeared, and
stealthily they slipped down and made
for the house.
The story of the boys Is that they
were out hunting for cows, when they
suddenly discovered the cougar, and
not being armed and unable to make
their escape home, they climbed a tree,
and the animal prowled around for
several hours and finally made off.
J. W. Wright went out from Camas
with his hounds and the boys showed
him the tree, but the hounds failed to
take up the scent, the only thing they
ran down was a coon.
BREAD 10 CENTS PER LOAF
AValla Walla Bakers Advance Price.
Wheat Reaches New Record.
WALLA WALLA. Wash., April 22.
(Special.) Bread In Walla Walla will
sell at. 10 cents a single loaf or three
loaves for a quarter after May 1. The
size of the loaves, however, will be' in
creased. All of the bakers of the city have de
cided on this change and have deter
mined upon it owing to the high price
of flour, which makes it impossible to
sell bread at the present price. But
with the increase In the price, the size
of the loaf will be enlarged from two
to four ounces by the various bakers
who claim they are at present losing
money on the sale of bread. Although
very little wheat still remains in this
county, small sales are recorded oc
casionally. Four hundred sacks were
sold yesterday to a local miller at Jl 20
while last Saturday. 700 bushels of
bluestem brought the record price of
$1.26

Walla Walla.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., April 12.
(3peclal.)-Working the worthless check
trick on 18 .firms of this city and making
a clean get-away, is the achievement of
one who styles himself C. S. Cole.
After banking hours yesterday an un
couth looking person giving his name as
Cole visited a number of the business
houses, made a small purchase and pre
sented a small check signed by J. M. Ray
burn and payable at one of the banks of
this city. In every instance the balance
in cash was returned and today the
checks were found to be worthless. -The
man whose signature appears made a
deposit of 50 at the bank on which he
drew the checks, but had not enough
money there to cover even a small per
cent of them. No trace of Cole has been
found.

the Ernest Shuter Company presented
at the Heilig last niKht. It was done
a year ago by the Baker Company, and
at that time met with considerable fa
vor. The audience last night was re
sponsive in spots, and the players
worked conscientiously to please. The
settings were adequate, and that of
the third act was worthy of the most
pretentious attractions.
The play deals with the modern so
cial and Industrial conditions, and is
apparently one of the author's earlier
works. It Is calculated to Interest and
has a few real thrills In its scheme of
situations.
