Fear of another outbreak of the war
In the Bow On Tong- has come to such
a point that this morning the prosecu
tion had to ask for an adjournment of
Judge Bronaugh'a court while they, en
deavored to find a Chinaman who would
risk serving as Interpreter during the
trial. ' r -.-- " -v:.:.; "v r: w.-'
It la claimed by the state that one
, of their most Important, witnesses has

fire Chinamen at. noon today to explain
what they knew about the whereabouts

, Malarkey, for the st
to appoint an lntei
asked the court
reter. saying that
defense offered its Ban Francisco ex
pert. Sam Ah Tye. but Mr. Malarkey
declined to accept him, and asked that
an official Interpreter be appointed by
the court, .1
Subpenaea were Issued for nearly a
dosen Interpreters and court adjourned
while deputies, went out to get them.
All refused to serve on. one pretext or
another. Sid Beck Jr. of the United
States Immigration bureau said he
would coma if subpenaed but would
not act as interpreter as he did not
want to mix in the case In any way.
Two of the Christian preachers were
brought In and both said they hadn't
time to act. Others said they didn't
know enough English'.
Orientals Threatened.
' "It's an outrage," Mr. Malarkey told
the court. "These Chinamen are so
badly cowed by threats of death that
they don't dare to take part In this ease.
Everything possible has been done to
intimidate them, and an attempt was
made to burn down the house in which
the widow of this murdered Chinaman
lives." - -' k if . , -' v - '

prisoner, Lem Woon, was brought there
and Identified br Lee Tal Hoi, and he
acted as interpreter, while Attorney
Ralph Wilbur took the ante-mortem
statement. He was in Portland until
last Friday, when it Is claimed by the
state that he disappeared. - When - the
five Lees were examined by Mr. Ma
larkey they aald that Hong was in
Walls Walla, and that they would send
for him to come back at once.
Widow points Stick at Murderer'
Chan Gun Tonic, the widow of tha
murdered Lee Tal Hoi, was the state's
star witness and told a dramaUo story
in spite or tne fact mat everythin
was . spoken In Chinese. When aake
who had killed her -husband she seised
a pointer, walked over to the table be
hind which Lem Woon was sitting and
pointed the stick at him, at the same
time bursting Into sobs and almost rU
nng to the floor. She was helped back
to the witness stand, but court had to
be adjourned . for five minutes before
she could proceed with her story,. '
Lem , Woon, the little hump-backed
Chinaman who Is accused of being one
of -the three murderers,-sat ' chewing
his gum placidly while the recital wa
going on and even when the woman of
nis own race - stepped up to nira -and
cried out that he was the murderer
he only smiled in the direction of Dep
uty Sheriff Beatty who was - watching
' ' ' aieoitea Bramatlo Story. 1
Mrs. Lee Tat Hoi, or Chan Gun Took,
as her maiden "name Is, is a little wo
men with very black hair and a per
fectly smooth face, in which the eyes,
the nose and the mouth .are the only
marks, and they seem shallow, like the
features on a porcelain saucer. Her
black hair was" done up in a net and
fastened with one heavy silver pin, and
she was dressed entirely in black. She
possessed unusual dramatic ability and
made a most excellent witness for the
prosecution., ' , -;! -
She said that she heard the first
shot fired and rushed out of her room

a little door opened onto a dark stair

Then she said ahe went to her hus
band and he told her that he was shot
and would have to die. Frequently as
she referred to, her-husband ahe wept
loudly, but she was able -to give a
pretty good account of what took place
the evening of the murder and of the
arrangement of the lights that enabled
her to see the faces of the three men
on the stairway. Her cross-examination
will begin with thla afternoon's session
of tha court.
The other witness called by Mr. Ma
larkey this morn Ins- was City Physician
Ziegler, who explained how he had
found Lee Tal Hoi, and that the China
man had been shot five times, each arm
being broken; by a revolver bullet, and
mere being; tnree snots through
tha back. He also had a cut between
the, eyes, evidently received when he
fell back down tha stairs.
