Last Friday night I saw a white man come out of one of these houses. I heard the door upstairs click and assume that he had come from in- side the place.

The witness stated that he had been on the | police force for more than ten years and had served in Chinatown for four years. He told the same story as the previous witness as to the difficulties which beset the police in the suppression of gambling among the Chinese. “It is hard to get into the places, hard to get the evidence and then it is hard to convict the men we have arrested.” o The witness then entered into details’of the rald made last Saturday night, when a large number of Chinese were caught.

C. m?hy was the last ‘ternoon session. for seven years and had served on the Chinatown squads under Sergeants Ma- honey and Shea. “No one ever attempted to bribe me, either a white man or a Chi- nese. While I was in Chinatown I helped any fantan games.

After the police officers had testifled Chairman Knowland announced that as there were no more witnesses in attend- | ance the investigation would be adjourned | until this morning at 10 o'clock. In an-| nouncing the adjournment Chairman Knowland sald_that subpenas had been | issued for five Chinese, who are the lead- | ing gamblers In_Chinatown, and asked Deputy Sheriff Murphy if he had been able to find the men.
