Registered for Conven tion Here July 7-14. LIFE SENTENCE IS LAW PRESIDENT DUE SATURDAY Tniin?imi FOUND 1UHU : .- -. ..... ;. . .'.....' " L - Defense Offers No Argument, and Testimony Is Confined to Words of Defendant and of Barber, Who Becomes Confused. Quilty as charged in the indictment." Thia is the verdict returned yesterday against Wong: Wen Tucng, Chinese gun man and murderer of Joseph Gue -on th night of March 27 last. The verdict was returned to Circuit Judge Gatens in just one hour after the jurors had retired to deliberate. The jurors took the case at 2 o'clock and it was ex actly 3 that the youthful Hop Sing tong murderer had learned his fate. Ho will be sentenced by Judge Gatens at 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning. As in the case against Lee Tin, who was acquitted less than a month ago, counsel for defense declined to address i the Jury in closing arguments. After they had completed offering their testi mony and following an argument by Chief Deputy District Attorney Collier, counsel for the defense asked that the case be submitted to the jury without farther argument. By so doing they blocked an expected dramatic arraign ment of the defendant by Special Prose cutor Malarkey, who was to have made the closing argument for the state. The defendant showed no emotion as the verdict was read to him. Deputy Sheriffs immediately took him In charge and whisked him up to the County Jail on the top floor of the Courthouse. The guilt of Wong "Wen Tueng was completely established by the state, and the only defense which was offered in an effort to offset the Identification of the defendant by eye-witnesses to the killing was that testimony given by the defendant himself and by a barber named Bullier, whose story under cross examination showed he was not sure what did occur on the night of the killing. Joseph Gue, wealthy member of the Bing Kung-Bow Leong tong, was shot to death as he sat in his automobile near the corner of Second and Madison streets on the night of March 27 last The defendant admitted being a mem ber of the Hop Sings, a rival tong then at war with the Bing Kungs. He also admitted having arrived in Portland from San Francisco a few' weeks prior to the murder and admitted that he had been arrested on uis arrival here as a suspected tong gunman. Under the statute, Wong Wen Tueng must serve a life sentence for his con viction of murder in the second degree. Since the abolishment of capital pun ishment there is no penalty for first degree murder. It was stated late yesterday after noon that the prosecution of Yee Guk and two other alleged tong gunmen would start early in July.
