MAN LONG IN DEATH HOI'SE ; Saved From Chair After Legal Fight of Nearly Three Years I New York, Jan. 22. —Two years and 218 days after he committed the crime, having spent a year and a half in the death house at Sing Sing prison, Jung Ming pleaded guilty before Justice Da vis in the Supreme Court yesterday to manslaughter in the first degree. He was sentenced this morning. This is the story of the law's delay in Hing's case: June 17, 1912, Jung Hing shot Tee Toy in front of No. 18 Pell street. November, 1912, Hing was tried for two weeks in General Sessions, ending in a disagreement. December, 1912, he was tried again and convicted of murder. He was ta ken to the death house at Sing Sing and immediatel yfiled notice of an ap-/ peal. July, 1914. more *han two years hav ing elapsed, the Court of Appeals set aside the conviction and ordored a new trial, and Hing was brought back to the Tombs. January, 1915, Assistant District Attorney James O'Mallev consented tc a plea of a low degree rather than risk another disagreement. The two trials cost the State about $5,000 each. It is estimated that oth er expenses were fully as much more. Hing was represented by William Tra vers Jerome.
