Article Transcript

It now appears that there has been a revival of judicial sensibility in San Francisco. The boys who stoned a Chinaman to death on the 31st of May, and whom the Coroner and his jury could find no evidence against, have been held to bail to answer—one a charge of murder, the other that of assault. Chinese evidence was offered as to the origin of the difficulty, showing that the boys originated it; but this was excluded by the presiding Justice, and the Alta calls for the application to this case of the Kuklux bill.
