WILLIAM S. MURPHY, Sworn:

Recognizes accused, remembers 14th March. The first thing I knew W. Taenhauser said there was a Chinaman trying to shoot a whiteman so Iwent out and this Chinaman trying to shoot a whiteman so I went out and this Chinaman Ing Soo ran by me with a revolver in his hand. J. White said we had batter go and get that fellow or he will kill somebody so J. White and myself went after him. I caught up to the Chinaman and asked him what he was going to do and he said he was going to kill this fellow. I did not know at the time who he meant. I told him he did not want t shoot anyone he would probably get 5 or 6 years for running around with a gun like that he said he did not give a shit he would kill him anyway as he broke his window. He started back with us and took two shots at something on the gravel bar I did not know what it was. We brought the Chinaman back from down o nthe track by the station. To deliver him to Constable Walsh on the railroad track back of the Imperial Hotel.

CROSS-EXAMINED :

Ing Soo was running back of the Imperial Hotel when I first saw him about 5 o’clock in the afternoon. I did not see Spencer. Ing Soo was close to the edge of the bank, he was running, he was running around his restaurant. I saw two shots fired when I was with him. He fired straight and I did not see what he was firing at. I have been here two years. I am a steam shovel man by trade.
