POOR GUM HO.
A Pretty Chinawoman and Her Tor
menters.
Attempting to Escape From a Life of
Shamo—Yesterday's Sensa
tional Court Scenes.
A few days ago the Record-Union
published tho facts concerning the ar
rest of a good-looking Chinese woman at
Second and J streets about midnight of
the preceding night, which arrest was
made by Chief of Police Drew and Officer
Ferral on the strength of a letter trom
Marshal Scroggins of Colusa, which let
ter stated that the woman was the wifo of
a Colusa Chinaman and had been ab
ducted.
Tho woman was, when arrested, in
company with two Chinamen, one of
whom conducts a wash-house on Third
streot in this city. The other proved to
be a San Franciscan, who said he had
eomo here that day to meet tho woman,
whom lie intended to marry.
Shortly alter the woman was taken to
the Police Station a Mrs. Keppersonof
tho San Francisco Chinese Mission put in
an appearance, saying that she had come
here to meet and conduct the Oriental
beauty, Gum 110, to the Mission Home.
WSABY OK HER BLAVE-LLPE.
Gum Ho informed Chief Drew that it
was her desire to go to the Mission, as
She Wished to escape from the life she had
been forced to lead as an inmate of a Chi
nese brothel at Colusa.
Chief Drew, however, informed the
philanthropic lady from the Bay tiiat ho
could not release Gum Ho until' he had
corresponded further with the Colusa
authorities; that he was informed she was
a married woman and had bee!', abducted.
Accordingly Hum Ho was escorted to a
cell for the night.
HA PEAS CORPUS NUMBER ONE.
The next morning Mrs. Kepperson
called upon lawyer Charles T. Jones and
engaged his services in an effort to secure
the release of tho Chinawoman by a
habeas corpus procedure. A writ was
served on chief Drew and made returna
ble before Judge Catlin yesterday.
At the appointed hour the courtroom
was filled with Chinamen, some of whom
had taken sides with their Colusa
countrymen, and others with those of
San Francisco who were endeavoring to
get possession of the woman. The Colusa
element was represented at the bar by a
lawyer named H. N. Aiberry, while Mr.
Jones appeared as the legal adviser of
Mrs. Kepperson and defender of Cum
Ho.
Tho elegantly-costumed bone and
flesh) of contention was brought into
court by chief Drew, and was the ob
served of all observers. There was quite
an array of lawyers and Courthouse
officials also present, who seemed to
take considerable interest in the proceed
ings. The general facta of the case had
become known, ami it was evident that
the sympathies of those present outsido
the Chinese element—were with the
young and pretty prisoner in her effort to
escape tho
LIFE OP SHAKE
That had evidently been marked out for
her by her husband and his Mongolian
associates in Colusa, The said husband
was also in court, but kept in the crowd
In the rear ofthe room, and did not make
himself known.
\\ hen the ease was dually calied, Chief
Drew submitted his return "to the writ of
habeas corpus, and the court was not
long in deciding that the woman was
held without cause, and ordered dis
charged.
IT was THE <>l.i> DODGE.
When the writ was issued by Judge
<'atiin the RECORD-UNION prophesied.
that, in case the woman Bheuld bedis
eharged, some (!oIUBS officer would be on
hand with a warrant, issued on some
trumped-up criminal charge, for her
arrest.
And the prophecy proved true. As
soon as the court ordered the discharge
ofthe woman. Mr. Jones—who had been
apprised of the fact that an attempt
would be made by the Colusa Chinamen
to get possession of her by another pro
i—asked Judge Catlin to temporarily
revoke his order and hold the matter in
obeyance until after the departure ofthe
10:40 train for Colusa. He said that a
trick was about to bo resorted to. and
that the court should not allow itself to
be trifled with.
Lawyer Alberry opposed the motion,
and after some argument Judge Catlin
granted Mr. Jones* motion.
It was evident from the suppressed
commotion that pervaded the half-circle
of lawyers and officers before the bar
that there was going to be
>j;.\ - v riONAL PROCEEDINGS
Of same s ■•t. and the storm broke when,
at 11 o'clock, Judge Catlin formally
ordered the discharge of Gum 110.
The space inside the railing was tilled in
than no time by a hustling crowd of
police, Deputy Sheriffs, lawyers and
Chinamen, each apparently endeavoring
to get hold of the beauty in bloo -
Towering above the others was the tall
and stalwart form of a stranger, who has
been well-likened in appearance to John
L. Sullivan. He had pushed his way
through the crowd and caught hold of
Gum He.
Lawyer Jones became vers- much ex
cited, and shouted upward to ihe stalwart
stranger to let go the woman.
*T -han't! She's my prisoner!" growled
the other, looking down disdainfully
upon tbe attenuated form of the fiery
little lawyer.
"Where's your warrant?" cried Mr.
Jones.
"1 have it here," replied the other who
was none other than Marshal Scroggins
of Colusa), letting go his hold upon the
frightened and quivering woman while
he drew drew forth a document from the
Inside pocket of his coat.
Till i 01 RI AROUSED.
Meantime the crowd surged toward the
door, and Gum Ho was being carried
along, when Judge Catlin, raising his
voice above the din and confusion, ,■-
aded that she be brought back before
the bar.
cd. and all b
seated again. Then Judge catlin pointed
. get [uarely at tiie man with tiie
warrant and demanded bis name.
"Mj nam-' t < Scroggins/ 1 answered the
latter, rismg, "and 1 am city Marshal of
»lolusa."
•'.in did not withdraw his arm
from its horizontal position, nor disturb
the aim of his index linger, as he re
marked: "Well, Mr. Scroggins, don't
. attempt to arrest that woman In tins
courtroom I won't allow any such pro
mt; here!"
TheColusaMarshal apologized for his
. and then the court ad
journed.
Then there was another exciting scene.
As -- nas the crowd reached the hall*
the hustling and hauling com
menced. Lawyer Jones and others en
deavored to get the Chinawoman back
:rd the stairway that leads to the jail,
while Scroggins endeavored to serve' big
warrant upon and arrest her. It was a
WILD AND EXCITING. BCRAJU
J or a while, in which lawyers. Deputy
Sheriffs, policemen and Chinamen were
pulling and hauling. Finally the woman
was crowded through the door, but tbe
muscular Marshal of Colusa got there,
n l both descended to the jailyard.
Here the officer arrested her, and pre
parations were being made for the
woman's departure with her captor,
tatime begging Sheriff Stanley to
lock her up and protect her.
The warrant charged Gum Ho with the
embezzlement of some trinket, and was
issued by a Colusa Justice ofthe Peace
on a complaint sworn to by her husband.
HABEAS CORPUS SUVBKB TWO.
As soon as Mr. Jones saw the offloergO
into the jailyard with tho woman he
rushed into one of the offices and prepared
a new writ of habeas oorpus, secured the
Judge's signature, and served it upon the
SfICKAMEXTO DATLT RECORD-UyiOK, WEDNESDAY, BKPTEMBEB 2, 1891.—SIX PAGrES.
Colusa Marshal just as he was leaving the
jail with his prisoner.
The new writ was made returnable at
1:30 o'clock, and when that hour arrived
tho same crowd filled the courtroom,
augmented by a few more lawyers and
courthouse attaches, who had learned of
the sensational proceedings of the morn
ing.
In the meantime Marshal Scroggins
had engaged Lawyer George A. Blanch
aid to argue the* case. The latter held
that the warrant was in duo form, and
that the court had no alternative but
to recognize it and remand the woman to
the custody of the Marshal.
A WORTHLESS DOOUMKtfT.
Mr. Jones contended that tho marrant
was not worth tho paper it was writ
ten upon. He admitted that it was reg
ular upon its face, but held that a hus
band could not make a valid complaint
of that kind against his wife—the law did
not permit it.
Mr. Blanchard insisted that the court
could not go behind the warrant and in
quire into the character of the complaint
on which it was based. Besides there
was no proof that the woman's husband
had sworn to the complaint.
"I can prove by that man there," said
Mr Jones, pointing to Marshal Scroggins.
"that the complainant is the legal hus
band of this woman, for he has a certified
copy of the marriage certificate in his
pocket. If a court cannot inquire into
tho character ofthe complaint on which a
prisoner is held, of what use is the habeas
corpus? It is for the very purpose; of in
quiring into matters of this kind that it
was instituted."
The point was argued at considerable
length and finally submitted.
Mil. JOKES WAS Itl.'UlT.
Judge CaUin said it was clear enough
that a husband could not testify against
his wife on a charge of embezzlement,
and if it were admitted that the complain
ant is tho husband of tho prisoner he
would have to order her discharged.
"We admit nothing," said Mr. Blanch
ard. "I have no knowledge as regards
the relations between the complainant
and prisoner."
"Marshal Scroggins," said Mr. .lones,
with an air of triumph, "will you please
hand to the court that certified copy of
tho marriage ecrtiiicate you have in your
pocket?"
THE LK'KNs;: ami HUSBAND DISAPPEAR.
"I haven't it," calmly replied the Mar
shal, "I gave it back to the Chinaman."
"Mr. Sheriff," cried Lawyer .Jones,
"please call Quing Hop—we want that
document!"
Deputy Fay went to the door and de
li v. red himself of his< Chinese vocabulary,
and finally a Chinaman presented him
self, and theoflh er triumphantly marched
him into court.
"Gum Ho," said Mr. Jones, "is this
the man—is this your husband?"
"No, sir," answered the woman in a
sweet tone of voice, "I don't know him."
THi; HEARING CONTINUED.
But Mr. Jones, who had encountered
and successfully overcome a goodly
number f lagal snags in the tour eofthe
day, was not dismayed. ID auiccd the
court to continue the hearing until he
should have time to send to Colusa for
tiie necessary witnesses to prov< thai the
complainant is the husband of Gum Ho,
and that it was be who swore out the
warrant for her arrest ona trumped-up
charge.
Judge Catlingranted the motion, and
the woman was remanded to the custody
of the Sheriff, to be again produced in
court at 10 o'clock on Friday morning.
PERILOUS DESCENT.
A SLssontte/* Sensational Slide Down
Mount Shusta.
I>ast Sunday, says the Sisson Mascot,
Henry Lee, .lohn Winters. Mr. liark
uess and three other gentlemen from the
mill made the ascent of Mount Shasta.
Mr. Lee was climbing steadily upward
and was just leaving the snow near
Thumb Bock, when his feet slipped and
he started down the Bnow-bedded canyon
with lightning velocity. At times he ac
quired such speed that he Mould leave the
snow- and fiy through the air for a dis
tance of forty feet or more. Every mo
ment he expected to be dashed to pieces,
and he struggled heroically to check his
downward flight. At last he crossed the
snow line a mile below, which stopped
his descent.
Tho flesh was torn from his ri^ht arm
and an ugly gash marked his forehead.
liis bruises caused him the most pain.
A-he lay helpless, bleeding and almost
senseless, one of the party above acci
dentally dislodged a huge rock which de- j
Bcended at a frightful speed and only j
missed Lee about three feet.
Alter signaling the party above that he
was all right, Lee struck out for Saddle

LITTLE FREDDIE VISKERS.
Governor Marldinni Commutes Ills
Sentonco to One-Half tin- Period.
Governor .Markham yesterday granted
a commutation sentence to Freddie
Viskers, the Sacramento bad boy who
was convicted of petit larceny in May,and
sentenced to six months 1 imprisonment
by Judge Cravens. The sentence is com
muted to a period of 110 days, which term
the lad has almost served. The* Governor
says:
"The parents of the boy are respectable
persons, and promise to exercise more
care and vigilance over his conduct in
the future, he being but 12 years Of age.
Th< County .lail is not a fit place for so
youthful an offender, and bis associations
there are very bad. The noli c authori- j
tics recommend that he be r ileased, as
longer confinement in his present quar
ters has an injurious rather than benefi
rial t< ndency. Since his incarceration tho
Whlttier Iteform School lias been put in
operation, and it further offenses are com
mitted it would afford a better place of I
confinement, with some hope of retorma
tion.
