Article Transcript

The Chinese Consul at San Francisco has (Reuter’s correspondent says) received a letter stating that a Chinaman was tried at Bridgeport, California, for the murder of an Indian, but was acquitted.

Immediately the verdict was pronounced, however, the prisoner was dragged from the court-room by the people and handed over to the Indians, who cut him to pieces.

The Consul will call the attention of the United States Government to the matter.
