Int resting Defence in a Charge of Attempted Murder: Is it a "Put-up" Job?
A large framed photograph of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and photographs of other military leaders were exhibited during proceedings at the Mixed Court on Tuesday, when the trial was resumed of Vong Chiming, formerly an officer of the Revolutionary forces, for conspiracy and attempting to murder General Li Kan-yuan. The General was formerly Tuchun of Szechuan, and lately military governor of Kuangtung.
Mr. P. M. Linebarger, for prisoner, continued his case for the defence. Counsel for the prosecution are Mr. Y. S.°Ziar and Mr. J. E._Lemiere.
Prisoner's wife, recalled, was cross-examined at—_ considerable length by Mr. Ziar concerning her acquaintance with Dib Zo-pah, formerly of the Secretariat Depart: ment of the Canton Parliament, and the chief witness for the police. Dib was described, at the second hearing of the case, as a_ great friend of one of the conspirators, but, after agreeing to help them, warned General Li that a plot was afoot against his life.
