If any of the juryman were suffer ing from insomnia last week they found some relief in the trial of the case of the Commonwealth vs Ye Sing Lee. a Chinaman, who for some months has had a laundry at Centerville. Ye Sing's place is next door to Mr. Sow ash's fruit and cigar store. Mr. Sowash had been missing things for weeks and when Sing wan seen com ing out of the store at a Jate hour carry ing something Mr. Sowash thought he had the right man. and prosecuted him. But the wily Chinee put up a defense that astonished his prosecutors. He said that his cat was missing that night, that he heard her singing in the adjoin ing store room that he unlocked Sowash's door with his key and went in and gathered up his beloved companion and would have departed with her, without the world knowing about it had not those fellows across the way seen him and told on him, though he plead with them not to do so. He didn't steal anything, Chinamen got their heads cut off when they steal- Ye Sing's story was pathetic. It amused the audience and the jury, and the latter believed him or at least gave him the benefit of the doubt, and acquitted him; and he went back to Centreville and the company of his "klat". .-V Letter For ton.
