Trial Today, vs Th prellmlnry trial of John Lumao nlen and Jo Bang, chargel, with Stella White, with an assault with a danger ous weapon on Roscoe May last Mon day, night, took place before Justice Goodman yeeterady afternoon. Depu ty Prosecuting Attorney Eokin repre- aentcd the state, and the defendants appeared without counsel. Lumaonlen I a Russian and Jo Bang Is a China man, and as neither could speak Eng lish sufficiently to give their evidence to the court In our language, Interpre ter were on hand. The case was an Interesting one from the fact that so many nationalities were represented at the trial. The other defendant, Stella White, 1 a very black ncgress, and tMa brought witnesses of her race to the wmrt. Besides a horde of wit nesses of all nationalities, friend of the defendants, and tho.; who are al ways on hand on such occasions, were there. The house was crowded to the dH.rs and the sidewalk were also oc cupied in front of the building. The evidence was conflicting a It always Is In such case and It wo difficult to barn Juat who wleld--d the ax. The The ax was there, however, and It had been wielded. The block of wooa waa also there that had been used a a sort of plle-drrver and battering ram In the fight. A hat wa also In evi dence, with the left rim partially sev ered, which was laid to the ax. Upon hearing the evidence the court became convinced that ' the Chinaman re ceived more blows than he gave, and that he had no guilty Intentions In the matter, and he discharged the Mongo lian. The Russian was bound over to the superior court in the sum of 3100, which he failed to give and waa re manded to Jail. Btella White's case will be trld before Judge Goodman this afternoon at 2 o'clock, when It is expected that more' light will be thrown jn the subject. THE GAM KM BROKE EVEN.
