fba Kraua murder cause occupied tha
entire attention of the criminal depart
ment ol tb* auperlor court yesterday, and
a Bight session waa had for tbe purpoee
of brtnginr the case far enough alone to
iJiMH it today, if poaaiMe.
The sensational feature of tbe day was
the appearance on the stand erf the de
fendant JCraua or rattier Strauss*. aa ne
say* bis name Is Hi* testimony, how
ever, waa like an installment of a aerial
story; tbe final adjournment for tbe nisht
sst It sbor* at the mo*t Interesting point.
He had described all hie relations with
Volakl. their trip to town, their return
m the day of tha murder, their trip
|s*a sod their antral at the cabin, after
wMcb time Volskl waa never seen again
aßv«
Kraus* appearance and manner on tha
■Und waa hardly that of a brutal mur
derer on trial for hia life. He looked
Uka as ignorant, hard-working and rather
tiatid Man. His voice waa ratbar feeble,
except when be would gat somewhat ex
alted la endeavoring to make hlmaelf
■aderxtood by the Interpreter, at which
tlsMa b* would talk volubly add emphati
cally In hia native language, and g**Ucu

grew Sua bed and heated.
At the opening of court yesterday
■MBlny Mr. Gamble outlinod tbe pro
pnad defense to th* jury. His state
ment waa quit* brief, and amounted la
askstance to the defence of an alibi. H*

A number of farmer* living In the
Mlffcborhood of Thomas station, where
: Krauae and Volakl formerly lived and
tkstked. testified that Kraus' character
fkr peace and quietness waa very good.
Sad that ho was an Induattloua, hard
working and quiet ma*. Volakl waa a
1 larger man, and wis Inclined to be quar
relaome, cranky and aggressive.
W. H. Yank, for whoae fattier Volakl

| one of thoae who gav* tbla testimony. He
!g admitted that while th* two men were
~ living together on his father** place th.*y
occasionally quarreled violently. Volakl

Following hi* arrest, possibly today. Mr.

grounds of unconstitutionality of the law.
About eighteen months ago the Spokane
authorities commenced the action against
the defendant, charging that Consldlne
was violating the law in that he permitted
women to habit snd solicit drinks In his
dance hall or variety theater, where liquor
was eold. In the superior court of Spo
il.ine county a conviction was seeuiyd. the
verdict being that the defendant should
pay a tine of SSW and costs, and in default
go to jail. Appeal was taken to the su
preme court of the state, with the result
that that tribunal affirmed the Judgment
of the lower court. April 24 the supreme
court also denied defendant'* application
for a r» hearing.

A Royal Battle Over the Removal of
Receiver Bryant
There was a battle royal In Judge
Moore's department of the superior court
yesterday, the question at Issue b> leg a
motion for the re«ioval of iVn. Br>'a:it as
receiver for tha Seattls Coal and Iron
Company In the suit brought by the Man
hattan Trust Companv against that corpo
ration. The motion was brought forward
by the general creditors of the company.
In opposition to the bondholders, repre
sented by the Manhattan comi*ny. Sev
eral different sets of these general cred
itors were represented by different coun
sel. and as a result nearly all of the larger
legal Arm* tn the city were represented In
argiwn.-nt that followed.
Yesterday the remittitur from the su
preme i>ourt was also received, containing
th." decision which the supreme court had
rendered on the appeal taken by the gen
eral creditors from the deeree establishing
the priority of the mortgage bonds This
decision held that as a*alnst thaae.gesrf ml
ere Mtors the mortgage was not valid. The
decision wt\s based upon the fact that the
stockhold. r» and bondholders were sub
stantially Identical, and that the credits
whk'h the company revived were thus
substantially for the beniflt of the bond
holders who. In e'jtj,?y. could not be held
to have a pr* lien, by virtue of their
m irtgie*, over these general creditor*.
On the of the decision of the
supreme court, se-vs-al new petitions were
filed j.sterday by other getwral creditors,
who had not Joined in the original pro
ceeding attacking the priority of the Mort
gage hemda.
The case wis ably ard exhaustively ar
gued. On behalf of those who desired the
removal of the present receiver the argu
ment was based largely ui>o« the deeis<on
of the supreme court, and upon the action
of the receiver in re*istt:ig the claims of
the general eredttir»r* On behalf of the
reteittior. op Geo. Bryant It was argued
that to conservatively manage the great
property in the interest of all the cred

In the fact that applications for additional

the occasion for invoking tbla power does

A moment more an<| there woold haw
been dead Chinamen on the worn-o*t
pavement at the corner of Washington
street and Third atenue south yesterday
Afternoon at 6 JS o'clock.
Jim Toy stood still aa death, the feat
ures of hi* face set and the forefinger of
his right hand resting on the trigger of a
38-caliber Colts revolver. The long,
deadly-looking barrel was pointed at the
stomach of Ah Sing, who was closely fol
lowed by another CMnaman. whose name
is unknown.
In the twinkling of an eye the street was
filled with Chinamen, wild with excite
ment. and to make the scene more dra
matic Detective Sam Corbett was seen
rushing across the street. He grabbed the
"gun ' from Toy s hand, and before the
crowd fairly realized what had happened
the principals In this strange tableau were
behind the doors at police headquarters.
Toy was calm and impassive, but Sing
was in a state of Intense excitement. Big
beads of perspiration stood out on his
forehead, and he could hardly talk. It Is
said that Chinamen hare no fear of death,
but Bin* must be an exception to the rule.
He realised that he had stared death In
the face, and his nerves reminded him ef
the unweasant shock the experience had
given htm. Chief of Police Reed instruct
ed Jailer Corning to lock up Toy and Sing,
and instructed Detective Corbet t to arrest
the third Chinaman If he oou*d find him.
Gambling ie the cause of the trouble.
During th® month the police have been
making it unpleasant for the wily China
men who ganble. smoke opium and
play the lottery. Although every den has
its sentinels out, and ev«ry move of the
police is watched, the bluecoats have
scored several points, especially on the
smokers and lottery fiend* These raids
have caused bitter feelings among the
Chinamen against each other. If the
police pounce down on a den the pro
prietor and his friends look about th.*m
with suspicious eyes, firmly believing that
a "stool" has passed the tip to the police.
A week or so ago Sergeants Peer and
Willard and Patrolman Barbee raided a
Chinese gambling den In the basement
of the store on Washington street two
doors west from the southeast corner of
Third avenue south. The game was
broken up before the officers were In the
room, but they are reported to haive been
careless with the gambling furniture.
Sergeant Willard Is considered especially
cold hearted when he enters a gambling
den. If he sits down on the edge of a
table and It collapse* ha does not even
"beg pardon."
After the raid Just mentioned the Ctiina
men who had been so rudely disturbed
In their sport looked with tearful eyes
about the room where the festivities had
taken place. The police believe that
Sing, who Is now la Jail, was one of thin
crowd.
A few days later Jim Toy went to police
headquarters and complained that he was
in danger of bodily Injury from his en
emies. According to his story they ac
cused him of being a "stool pigeon" for
the police. Toy replied that he was not
giving away Information to the police,
but Sing refused to accept his statement
and struck him.
The warrant was sworn out, but Toy
kept out of the way of renewed trouble
until yesterday afternoon, when he met
Ah Sijig and another Chinaman on Wash
ington street near Third avenue south.
"You pay for the tables," said Sing to
Toy.
"I will not pay for them." replied Toy.
"I did not tell the police."
"You blankety blank blank." said Sing,
as he grabbed Toy by the neck.
Toy saw Detective Corbett and yelled
for help. Corbett stopped the trouble
and started up Third avenue south to the
police station. Suddenly he heard loud
cries, and wheeling around, saw Jim Toy
standing motionless with a 38-ca liber
Colt's revolver thrown acroas his left
arm a»d pointing at Sing's body. Sing
stood as if riveted to the spot, while the
third Chinaman seemed to realise that he
had better not stir.
Corbett rushed upon Toy and snatched
the weapon out of his hand.
By the time the detective was on th<»
wav to the police station with Toy and
Sing, the third man having disappeared,
there was intense excitement among the
Chinese, who talked among themselves
with a clatter that would make a thresh
ing machine blush.
At police headquarters Chief of Police
Reed interviewed the Chinamen, and
finally decided to lock up both of them
and jret the third one if possible.
Sing tried to tell a Post-Intelligencer
reporter how the affair took place, but
he was so excited that he could not keep
his conversation within the limits of
pip eon English. He said, however, that
he wanted to talk with Toy, and Toy dr< w
a "pistol" on him. When nsked as to tho
cause of the row he evaded the question.
Sing is a middle-aged Chlrwmaa, who
dresses tn regular American style and
who claims a residence of seventeen years
In Seattle.
Jim Tov says that he drew the gun to
protect himself from an attack of H!s fel
low-oountrrmea. Th« reporter under
stood him to say that he saw four men
coming at him. This condition of affairs
would make It appear that there are times
when a man sees double. Toy is a young
Chinaman, whose blous* floats with the
breexe. He «lvee his occupation as a
cook instead of A as his en
emies have termed him, and the police
say that he Is not quarrelsome.

A peculiar characteristic of the sub

to the fa<* that out of twenty-ax sub
scriber* up to date fourteen have given
not lees than $36 each. This demonstrates
that a large number of men who cannot
giro large sums have consequently given
nothing. Ef fourteen men can give from
125 to *250 each, there must be fifty oth
ers who will give Sid each, and seventy
five more who will give $5 each. This
will add 1875 to the fund and insure its
completion. The fund drags because the

two more days are loft. The plan for a

"A Swtaae* Match."
The statement accompanies the an
nouncements of "A Nutmeg Match" that
Mr. Haworth wrote a eomedy-drama. It
ia ail of that, and in the hands of Mr.
Daiiey's company it is also a melodrama,
a farce-comedy. and if the pile-driver Jtad
done what the villain of the play intended,
it would have been a tragedy, with a sug
gestion of vaudeville.
The company producing "A Nutmeg
Match" is decidedly rlever, both in re
spect to the work of Mr. Heron and Miss
Williams, who are the featured members
of it, and of the others, who contribute
a good support. Eddie Smith, who in the
opening piece of the present engagement
has u small part, was the comedian of the
Grau opera company when seen here in
the early part of the season.
Miss Lottie Williams is a dainty sing
ing and dancing soubrette, who made her
first bow to a Seattle audience last night,
and Mr. Heron is one of the best come
dians seen In musical comedy work in
this city. There Is a consistent plot, in
which Villainy and comedy are conspicu
ous. linked (to the story by characters
that are necessary to make the piece sug
gest the "drama" part of the title. The
specialties are excellent throughout and
the team work of Miss Williams and Mr.
Heron won many recalls. In the last act
Miss Mabel Maitland. who was not named
in the cast, introduced a contortion dance
that the large audience demanded en
cored.
"A Nutmeg Match" will run until Sun
day night. Monday, Hoyt's "A Bunch of
Keys" will succeed it, finishing the en
gagement Wednesday night.
