An event of unusual interest took place in the municipal court yester day afternoon during the trial of Ch a Cuew on the charge of assaulting and robbing Cin Gee Long iu the Wa Chong Block, June 15, says the Seatt e Post-Intelligencer The truth was obtained through the assistance of j. E. Gardner, the missionary, whose sneaks Chinese as fluently as he does English, and who is well-known on the Pacfic coast as having been of Chief of Police Crow ley’s right bower iu breaking up the San Francies highbinders. Gardner introduced the “chioken’s head oath,’’ under which no China man dares tell an untruth under pen alty of becoming a walking ghost,the greatest of Chinese horrors. The bind, ing effect of the oath may be judged by the action of the defendant’s prin cipal witness, who arose and declared that he would not swear by the “chicken’s head’’ for SIO,OOO, and immediately left the court- Clerk Ciawford learned that Mr. Gardner, who is now living at Victo ria, was in the city, and persuaded him to appear in the municipal court as inretpreter in the case. The def endants: Chiu Chew aud Chiu Dong, demanded separate hearings, and it was decided to proceed with the case of the former. Mr. Gardner was first sworn as in terpreter and then as a witness to testify to the oath nec< ssary to bind a Chinaman to tell the truth. Mr Gardner tola the court how the truth was extracted in China from witness es. He said there were three metnods in vogue, one called ‘ swe '.ring by the light,’ which consists in burning a paper, at the sane time repeating the oath; the second was breaking a saucer, but the best and most bind - ing consisted iu having the witness cut off e rooster chicken’s head, at the same time taking an oath calling on all the gods they know to curse them, their children and their chil dren's children if they falsify . Judge Glasgow enquired why it was that the oath was specially binding, aud Mr. Gardner replied that Chinamen think a great deal about being honored after death. According to the oath not only they die if they falsify, but their childrens children. This leaves no one to worship them and they become wandering ghosts, the most horrible thing a Chinaman can think of. Once iu a great while a China man will falsify, but as a rule nut one out of t< n. jHe then spoke of a case in British Columbia, where a Chinaman took the eath, falsified, aud in less than a mouth died from worriment. Chin Gee Long, the prosecuting witness was anxious to have the oath administered but Chin Chew the defendant refused absolutely to t»ke it. It was discovered that Ah Kim the states important wit ness was missing aud Detective Corbett was sent af f er him with a bench warrent. In the meantime a tall small pox-scarred Chinaman who had beeu called by the defence arose and informed Mr. Gardner that he would not take the oath propsed for SIO,OOO and then stating that he knew nothing of the case left the room After the detective returned with Ah Kim Mr. Gardner said it was necessary to administer the oath iu open air so the prosscuting witness Ah Kim aud Ah Gar an other states witness were taken in to the alley at the back of the city hall aud the ciremony perform ed. Ah Kim didn’t want to swear but finally concluded he would. Chickens were brought fourth joss sticks were lighted oaths written iu Chinese charecter ou along strip of paper aud knives with keen edges. The oaths were taken separately but without variance of manner. The Chinaman touk the chicken in his hand and as he cut its neck repeated tho oath. Then he burned the paper aud ate some of the Chinese food. After everything was ever and the chickens all killed the defendant suddenly came to the conclusion jbat he was not afraid to take the oath. 10 CENTS A WEEK FITE AND FELTON. Hon Gus Fite of Bartowo Chai - lenges the Doctor, but FELTON FAILS TO FITE He will not Meet the Plucky Young Democrat on the stump, nor anywhere else for that matter. Has been there/ The following interesting arti cle appears iu this weeks issue of the Cartersville Courant : Editors . Courant-American. Last Saturday I addressed tc Dr. W. H. Feltou the following letter- Dr. W. H. Felton, Cartersville Ga. Sir: In your speech here OD k the 4th instant, you nut only: de nounced the democratic pany, its i leaders and its principles, but made an attack ou my politiiaJ and official records, and denied me a hearing ; but you expressed a desire to meet me in joint debate - some time iu the near future,. Therefore I respectfully mvitfe • you to meet me iu joint discuss ion of the political issuse involved in the present campaign, at the court, house iu Cartersville, a: 10 o’clock, a. m., on Sa'urday, the first day of September. 1894. During the discussion I will reply to your attacks on me, and will have something to say about your public record. You shall have a fair an and equal division of rime. Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter and notify me of your acceptance, and oblige. Youcb respectfully, A. W. Fite. Yesterday I received from him ia reply, a most remarkable doc ument of three full pages of legal cap, cl >sely writtea Irjm top to bottom in a small hand and coll* tainiug about one thousand words. With the exception of a few dirty personal flings, so character istic of “Near Cartersville,” it re a synopsis of his speech delivered iu Cartersville ou the 4th, instant. The reason he assigns for not meeting me, although he said in his speech he won d meet me aud his f. ends boastingly said he would do it, is as follows: “As you said you were not a can didate for office, and I know I am no candidate,! would inquire r»*h*C> ihere is to discuss about, eithei’ us, that could possibly affect issues of the present campaigns And the reason he gives fcr not allowing me to repiy to him in the meeting of the 4’h. instant is this: “I was giving my opinion of Piesideut Cleveland which I had a right to do, aud I deny your right tn reply unless you had been invited to express your views in that meeting.” Tuese remarxabie reasons may be satisfactory to the doctor, but if they are he is very easily satisfied. I have never bad but one joint de bate with the doctor, and that was in the house of repesentatives, in 1884, when I gave him a good, sound threshing which the Consti tution of that date said was > Waterloo for him I am told that the doctor, although he has forgot ten many things, has never forgotten that lesson, and it does seems as. The truth is, the doctor is mad with the world, and I now pass on, leav ing him where Dr. Hawthorne left him. Very respectfully. A.WxFite.
