llev. H. II. Parker: I.ivo in Honolulu. I lino
seen Polm several times in Culm Prison. Wont
as 11 rloriy man. He gave somewliit of tho history
ofhi!lifo. I'lint ho lived in Honolulu nbout 10
years, thou wont to ll.uuiktii, Hawaii from
thonco went to Knn whore he niiule the .lcipinint
imeo of tho woman whom ho killed ; then wont to
I'uua, thou returned to Kau, thou lived iiaain with
her; thirdly slie loft him and went to live with
miotlior m in. S lid ho killed her because he was
enraged with hor; ho wont to tho house and met
her mid tho man at the door and killed her; ho
then tried to take his own life mid thought he had
succeeded, but a doctor sewed ill) his wounds;
when lie found th it ho would lho ho was relieved;
mid that she desecrated his own house; h ml she
jeered and insulted'him. Ho mule these state
ments on my first visit to him some mouths au-o ;
ho did not si ho w.isiusino when ho committed
tlio crime, f hao visited him at least live times
talked with him nt lenth ; he shuwid no sinus of
inssnitjjlie sid ho was ovorconio witli pission
when he did tho deed. "Ua Jmii mi i kit jioiili."
He did notsw ho was under the iiilluenceof li
(inor ut the time ; ho mid ho was responsible for
the crime; ho wan very serious. The list timet
vw him wis tho iliy when ho was repriew'd ; tho
timo previous ho slid ho deserved the punishment.
I have hoen Hawaiians nun) times do str.ini;o
tiling's, wliicli to us might seem str.uiKo like
this, but his soundness of mind was unclouded;
siul he mule preparations for the murder; slid
he cut his tinkers accident illy, think he snd he
did so while shirpouiiiH tho knife. Ho was not
married to tho worn in ho killed ; suo had told him
that she had lived with other men ; ho did not say
ho hid been driukiii"; ho told n ery clear story
and seemed tobie a very cleir recollection of
the circumstance.
Dr. It. MoKibbiu, Hijsicum and Sur(jeon: Sivv
l'olua nt Oihu prison dav before j esterd.iy nt re
ipiest of Coiuinittee, hid n lon conversation with
him, mojtly in II miiiiiin. Am iicquiinted with
Hawaii m laiiKii ie ; made iiniuiries of the keepers
of the prison. Malathi, a Const ible, mid Alr.Fy fe
they s.ud ho wnslhesime now ns when ho came
in. They s.iid he li.id no he uliiche, no fever, nto
well mid slept well . I then refuted the questions
to him; ho confirmed those answers; he said ho
had been well, just the suuo as now ; he slid that
he hnd had some troublo at Waikapu, had been
brought up for an assault and been imprisoned for
three ears; slid lately he had Itwil awhile at
Ham ikui, said he was married, that his wife was
Ininu with another man at Hmnakua. Ho said he
had been Hun;: a yeir and eight mouths (with tho
exception of one mouth) with tho woman now de
ceised ; she followed him to Kau ; he slid that up
to short time before this unfortunate occur
rence ho and she hnd licd together on the liest of
terms; that Intel) hesuspecUd her fidelity, she
lied with ii teamster, and she did not take care of
him as formerly ; one day he s iw this man leaving
his (I'olua'ri) room through an opening ; he went
out with him mid t dkod ery insultingly to him,
(I'olui)and made him very nnyry. Shortly nfter
ho saw her walking between two men holding their
hands mid passed him, jeering at and taunting
him ; this in ide him ery nngry ; when he went to
his work ho wivs brooding over it; when became
home from his work she was not at home, but was
at the houHe of the other man, about a chain oil ;
ho became still incensed mid went mill got n bot
tle of oMthau f rum which ho drank some; snid
he then hnd made up his mind to kill her ; said he
bought it knife because he had none in the house
to cut beef with. I told him I had seen n knife
similar to tho one lie used, mid it was not such n
one na ho used for domestic purposes, and was told
ho sharpened tho back of it. What did you do
that for? didn't you do it to kill tho woman? He
said yes. My impression is that he said he bought
it liefore drinking tho liquor, nml that he hnd
made up his mind to kill the woman before drink
ing ; be said he picked up the club in the carpenter
shop ; he said he had hung up the woman's dress
before the window of his room, and put up some
pieces of crape alniut the room. He said he hung
up the dress to prevent them from seeing through
the window what he wiih going to do, then he went
to the house whero tho woiruiu wns; mid waited n
minute or two till she cmue out with n saucomn,
the man wns with her on the other side of tho pan;
ho then struck nt the woman, struck nt the back of
the ueck, she fell on her side ; ho then tried to cut
her throat with the same knife ; did not know why
he did not kill himself ; said his jmuII. (darkness)
thnt came into his heait caused him to do this. At
present he is in perfectly sound mind ; there is no
excitement, he is perfectly cool ; from the man's
account and memory of the facts I should say he
waa not insane when he committed the deed ; but
from the taunts and drink he was excited. The
draping the room in the manner he described I
should not think showed insanity ; the cutting
of the finger, I think he aaid was accidental, so his
account impressed me, but I do not remember dis
tinctly about that, ha told mo he bought the knife
the day he committed the deed ; aaid ho bought it
at the store, and sharpened it fur the purpose of
killing her.
Dr. J. a McOrew, l'bysician and Surgeon. Went
with Dr. Mc ICibbin to Oahu prison, he Inter

Silencer had every opportunity to offer evidence,
'there was nu unusually largo iiuuiberof persons
from Kau nt that term uf Court. I havo attended
that circuit for five years in succession. The term
lasted more than two weeks.
John L. ltces : I signed the petition. I know of
no facts in mitigation of this offense. Do not
think he could havo beeu in a good frame of mind
nt tho time. Among Hawaiians tho lovo of man
for woman is sometimes very strong, so also is
jealousy. Think this man was very much pro
voked. Klaina: Am 3C vears old. Have not seen
l'olua. I think l'olua wiih crazy wheu he com
mitted the crime. Among Hr.waiiaus love mid
jealousy is strong, nnd if tho woman leaves them
they committ suicide. When tho love is strong
they do this. When made those circumstances
they commit homicide, it is a sigu uf temporary
insanity. Hanging should be the punishment for
persons who commit murder with malice afore
thought, not in passion.
rvaiuio : l'olua wiih n goon man. mm wnen uih
property in her was interfered witli he waa over
iiuwcred, and he was curried away with auger. Ho
looks like u good mini. In tho case of a Spaniard
on this Island who committed A murder, be wag
not hung, but ouly imprisoned. Tills l'olua case
was like Ham's case at Waikiki, who killed his
wife theu killed himself. I signed the petition
because I was asked to, aud because of aloha,
Mikaaobe; I signed the jwtition. I believed
that l'olua committed the crime he is ignorant and
blind. Do not know l'olua, never saw him. Have
read the newspaper aoount of the murder. Know
of uo new circumstances. Do not know whether
she was l'olua's wife or not. The sentence of the
Court waa just, but I have pity for the man.
W. J. Wright: Do not know l'olua. 1 signed
the petition; read the petition. I think he waa of
unsound mind wheu he committed the deed. His
draping bis room, sprinkling perfumery and out
ting hiii linger made me think he waa iuaaue. I
beard that be sharpened the knife and out his
finger to try it it waa aharp, then went and killed

I'anew : Do not know Polua know nothing

I wish his life spared.

Joseph Lainabolo i I signed the petition from
feelings of aloha for the man l'olua. It Is the
same feeling I would have for any one who waa
aeutenoed to death. Now la a time of mourning,
and I object to any one being bung.

On Monday uiorning tho Comiulttio 'Ikiii the
raso of 1'olun resumed their investigation.
Claude Junes : Stale d that ho h id hi en present
nt tho (rial. Was well neiiuaintiil with the facts
of thoeiiHO ns the man hail desired him to not lu
his defence, but thnt whin ho found ho could piy
no retainer, ho had di dim d to iindert iku so grave
a resH)iislbillt without being remunerated for his
trouble. Ho considered tho man wns feebly
defend"d. No plea of insanity was miHed. He
looked nt it from a professlonnl H)lnt Of view
morel) to sen whnl grounds could I hi raised, nnd
ho coiisidei ed that tho plea of ins mil) was the
ouly line to take. Ho had stated this to Mr.
I'limk Ss'iieci. Ho reasoned thnt u mm deficient
in reasoning iwer, of strong ihssIoiih, bmiinu
abnormally oteiteif ut the desertion of his
paramour nnd her intimacy with others ; Ills
wounded selMovo proiliioul insane Jealousv, act
ing under which ho prewired deliberately to coin
mil (ho ileid. Homo questions worn asked and
nnswired ns to whit witness considered norm il
ami abnormal excitement. Ho then continued
that ho did no consider this a enso of fin or In ens
or Hiiildeu provocation. These iints ho would have
urged hnd ho conduct! d tho defence. Ho con
sidered the man of weak intellect on account of
answers which he liiiulo about his family and
friends, 'I ho ovidetico which made him think tho
man was insane came out in trial, but if ho had
been ill the iMisitiou of Judge, it would Hot have
made him niter his sentence. Hid tho man been
married ho would have viewed the case from a
illtlorent standpoint. When nsked if nny Courts
of ptrdon had exercised their pardoning (Minor
ii; m the grounds which ho advanced, ho said that
during a course of 10 joais experience he never
had known them to do so, hut ut the same time
pal dons were frequently grunted without any
reasons being published. Mr. Gibson inquired
what effect suicide would have upon his idea of
the Minn's sanity, nnd asked it in insurance canes
it hnd not boon ruled that men were Insane who
committed suicide. It was stilted that there had
boon no such ruling. After some further remarks
upon suicide tho witness retired.
'- Marshal 1'arko stated ho h id been present at
the trial, mid that Mr. Knlui, who defended l'olua,
wns perfectly sober, u stntcim nt wliicli ho relat
ed several times. Knliia had beeu intoxicated a
week liefore. lio worked hard to obt liu u erdict
of manslaughter. Ho considered n Hawaiian
counsel would bo better with n Hawaiian Jury
tluiii u foreigner.
A. Carter: Had beeu employed nt Knpapila;
the murder took place on tho night ho loft. Know
the in in well, was acquainted with Ins domestic
troubles. There was nothing out of the way nbout
thu mini; hu was not over intelligent, but he was
not ; ho was very willing, but lacked judgment
when intrusted with work by himself. He came
to the plantation with n rtputntion for bad
tcuiH'r. but during 'J mouths experience with him
ho hnd never shown it. When the woman left
him, l'olua came to witness to complain that shu
had an improper intimacy with a teamster,

sion nbout tho plantation was thnt the man hnd
done no work, lie wiih witness' helper. He hnd
lr nrd that l'olua spent much money on tho
woman. Ho was tho first man down nt tho sceno
of tho murder; did not see how ho cut his throat,
but l'olua told him after that he had sawed it by
taking the knife in lioth hands, l'olua wiih nble
to talk iu nativii rationally, 'there was a cross of
black stuff on the winduw: the man's eyes wore
bandaged with a veil. Had heard of no fresh cir
cumstances.
D. K. Fyfo stated thnt he had only jokingly re
marked to Carter thnt the man wns crazy; hu had
spoken on Saturday last, lie hnd no reason to
think the man insane.
The Chief Justice then remarked thnt there wiih
uo obligation for nny one to oorae, tho Committee
had been appointed by the Sovereign to enquire
into the case, aud all that was wanted wns that
people should come forward aud state what facts
they knew, Tho expression "cited" whioh was
used in the circular issued by tho Committee
meant "called."
As the Committee wore on the point of retiring,
Dr. Webb camo aud stated ns follows : Ho con
sidered that l'olua was insane at tho time of the
murder. When he visited him in prison this
morning, be found he bad heart disease, from
which he bad beeu suffering before he committed
the murder. His pulse waa high and fluctuating.
When he commenced talking it was 10ft, iu 90
minuter it was 120, aud in IW minutes more it was
'i, Aa proof of his insanity at the time, he
argued that the man bad been three dava without
food aud two nighta without sleep; that during
the third day he had drank a bottle of ekohhao.
That before killing the woman he bad tried the
knife on his own bands, and that the wounds gave
him no pain; this waa lust the condition of many
insane patients of whom the doctor had had
charge: cited the case of a woman who bit a piece
out of her arm and felt no pain, aha had bad pins
stuck in her back without feeling them. This led
him to think the man waa insane, but that the
moment be had out his throat, the blood letting
brought him to hiaaeuaes, and he understood his
responsibilities. He considered the state of the
man's heart a very strong point. A man with
heart disease would be more liable to be affected
by liquor than well man.
The Committee tbtn adjourned.

In spite of this, nil present resolve the pro

woman ) still on hoard, having been supplying tho
sailors with small articles of clothing, sweoliueiils,
etc. A duett witli words of mysterious Imixirt fol
lows hi which a chntigo is prophoHiul for tho Cap
tain. Little lliitteicup now withdraws at the up.
prnncliof Sir Joseph, who has been unsuccessful
in his suit with Josephine, mid expresses' his sur
prise thereat, but ih urgtd to try nguiti mid to
Httteollicinlly his wishes. Ho retires to the cabin,
when Josephine sings of her troubles, which con
tust mainly of deciding whether she shall continue
in tho luxury lo winch Hint has been accustomed
by marrying the Admiral, or to marry for love
with tho sailor, taking thereby lho consequent
miserable life in some back street, where house
wives yell, children cry mid dinners are served iu
a pudding basin. She culls uism thu god of love nml
god of reason to decide which of the twain she
shall choose. Tim Admiral and Captain now come
forward with nssurnnces that lovo levels nil
ranks and that the difference iu stntion should
not prevent acceptance of his loidshp's suit. The
suitor and father withdraw to arrange prelimin
aries when Deudoyo approaches the Cnptain, in
forms him of tho promised elopement of his
daughter with ltnlpli, which the Cnptain endeavors
to prevent by arming himself with n cat-o'-nino-tmls.
Ho wraps a boat cloak nlsmt him, nnd
nwiiitH tho elopers approach, which being nearly
accomplished, is frustrntod by tho demand of the
Captain ns to where his daughter limy lio going :
nnd in his great indignation nt the iiersistei.ee of
ltnlph, Hwenrs n "big, big D," which, being ovw
heard by the Admiral, brings him on the scene in
all tho wrath of lib otleiided diguity. He orders
tho Captain to seclusion, mid demands of ltnlph
the cause of nil this disturbance. The tar no sooner
replies that Josephine is the ' figure head of hiu
ship of life, tho bright beacon that guides him into
his port uf happines" than the Admiral, whose
anger knows no Isiund, enquires for a dungeon nnd
chains for ltnlpli, who lenves the scene between two
marines. Uuttercup nt this juncture discloses the
fact that many years ngo when she wns young nnd
charming, she wns a baby farmer, hnd two tender
babeH to nurse one of upper crust the other of
low condition, and that they wore "mixed up."
