deceased on the head with a poker
in self defense. According to his

soup at the head of Hayashi, who
finally picked up a poker and used it
in the effort to make the intruder
desist. The wound inflicted turned
out to be serious, and the unfortun
ate Jap died from its effects. The
jury found that the act was commit
ted in self-defense, and accordingly
returned a verdict of justifiable homi
cide.
