BOSTON, March S. Warry Charles,
one or tne weauniesi mm mui inwu
entlai Chinamen of Boston, and eight of
his countrymen, claimed to be notorious
Hatchetmen," were found guilty by a
Jury In the superior criminal court late
today of murder In the first degree on
four counts alleging the killing of four
Chinamen in Boston on August 2 of last
year. A tenth aeienaani. xee wan, who
had also been on trial on the same
charges, died suddenly in his cell last
Tuesday while the trial was in progress.
The men today found guilty are: Mln
Sing, Horn Woon, Leong Gong, vt ong
Duck, Wong How. Joe Guey, Dong Bok,
Ling Tee Jung and Warry Charles.
Tht men were accused of tl.e murder of
Chin Mong Quln. Wong Shu Chung, Chin
Leet and Lee Kal Hem. In each case
Warry Charles was accused of being an
accessory before the fact.
The cases Had been on tii&l for thirty-
three days, the- first four days being
thrown out on account of a mistrial.
owing to the sickness of a Juror. Over
4,000 type written pages of testimony
was taken and the cost .of the trial Is
estimated at $20,000. The raurdera for
which the nine Chinamen were found
guilty grew out of a long-standing feud
between the Hip Sing Tong and the
On Leong Tong, rival Chinese societies.
Story of the Crime.
Early In the evening on Friday, August
1907, a number of strange Chinamen
suddenly appeared In Oxford place. In the
heart of the Chinese quarter of Boston,
and when signal was given began firing
from revolvers of heavy caliber upon
scores of Chinese merchants and laun-
drymen who were larlly lolling about.
Over forty shots were fired, and when
the police appeared they found three
Chinamen dead and a dosen others seri
ously wounded, one of whom died.
Shoy Tong. one of the government wit
nesses, testified that Warry Charlea, pres
ident of the Hip Sing Tong, had Insti
tuted the killing. During his testimony he
stated:
'Charles said that he would have to
do some killing and make the Chinese
business men so afraid that all of them
would Join our society.
Charlea la alao alleged to have t said:
"We were getting to be dead oaes and
must kill someone."
Tong testified further that Charles pro
posed sending to New York. Philadelphia
and Chicago for "hatchetmen" who were
unknown to do the killing, as they would
be better able to escape.
Two Hangings la Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, March 7-Two Chi
nese, Jung Jow and Mock Kung, will be
hanged in Moyamensing priBon here on
Tuesday fur the killing of several of their
fellow countrymen last summer during a
pistol battle in the streets of Chinatown
in this city. The warring factions be
longed to the On Leong Tong and Hip Sing
Tong organisations. Tuesday's execution
will be the first hanging of a Chinaman
In this city, although there have been sev
eral battles between the rival aocleties
with fatal results. In some of these af
fairs the guilty men, usually brought here
from other cities, escaped.

At this season of the year street car tracks are apt to be
very slippery o wing to atmospheric conditions, and it is
impossible, therefore, to stop a car as promptly as
ordinarily.
REMEMBER that a street car is confined to the track
and that the Motorman cannot turn out or stop his car
instantly when "cut off by a vehicle.
Do not rely upon the motorman to save. you from the
consequences of your own carelessness he may not be
able to do so.
