George Kaonohi Aucliookani had
his preliminary hearing bjforo Dis
trict Magistrate W. A. McKay on
Friday and Saturday of last week.
He was charged with the killing
of Fred Kcynion of Kahikitnti on
the 10th day of this mouth. The
testimony of Meleana Aikapalaoa
was to the effect that she and the
defendant were in the room togeth
er when the deceased returned
home and as he was angered he
vowed ho would kill both of them
and in vitcd them out to bo killed
by him. On reaching the yard he
picked uj) an ax and struck at her
and missed his mark was seized bv
her and as they were struggling
the defendant drew a revolver and
as he was about to fire she put out
her hand and was shot through the
fore finger and thumb and the
same shot entered the body of Fred
Roymon and caused his death. She
said that the deceased came to his
death about eight or nine o'clock
on the evening of the 10th.
Hugh M. Coko was tho attorney
for the defendent and the first
tiling he did was to examine the
wound in the finger and thumb of
tho witness.
He at once saw that the wounds
were badly powder burned and as
it was claimed tho defendent was
standing in the door at the time of
the shooting while the witness and
Roymon were in the yard ho saw a
chance to break down the testi
mony of the witness and proceeded
to do eo. Taking the revolver in
his hand as one would grasp it in
ordor to prevent another from
shooting him and placing his
thumb over the nnizzlo he asked
the witness if it were not true that
she was holding the revolver in
that position when it was discharg
ed. She admitted that it was but
that the defendent was the person
that was holding it at the time of
the shooting. Proceeding step by
step much of the evidonco was
broken down and as tho County

Attorney rested his case on the
testimony of the ono witness the
defence put on four witnesses whose
statements were so evidently true
that tho defendent was in Kaupo
'at tho time of the shooting and so
far away that it was In impossibi
lity for him to have committed the
crime that the defendant was
discharged as soon as the argu
ment wa3 completed by the at
torney for the defendant.
County Attorney D. II. Case
and his Deputy W. F. Crockett
made a most searching cross ex
amination of the witnesses for the
defendant but failed to shake tho
testimony in the least and afto
the case was closed tho County At
torney, being convinced of tho in
nocenso of tho defendant, declined
to make any argument but left the
matter entirely with tho Court.
Mr. Coke has not been in active
practice for some time and as. a re
sult of his success in this case, he
was the recipient of many congra-.
tulations. '
JUDGE ROBINSON SOAKED THE
CHINESE GAMBLERS.
The Star says Judge Robinson
"soaked" the grand jury gamblers
this morning whenthe sixty-seven
convicted defendants came up for
sentence. Tho crowd were lined
up about tho little court room.
They occupied, seats in the jury
box and along the spectators ben
ches on the Waikiki and mauka
hides of tho room. Judge Gear
who was present as associate coun
sel in another case, added facc
tiousness to tho occasion, by rising
when the first twelve Chinese
defendants had been called, and
seated in the jury box, by an
nouncing that "he accepted tho
jury as it stood."
A. F. Judd wns present to re
present tho defendants in tho ab
sence of R. V. Brcckons and C. F.
Hemenway tho regular counsel,
Judd announced that he had noth
ing to say in behalf of tho defen
dants, previous to the passing of
sentence. Deputy Attorney Gene
ral M. F. Prosser spoko on behalf
of the Territory. Ho urged tho
court to impose tho limit of sen
tence for it was about tho first
chanco that had presented itsolf to
the court, to inflict a "body bl6v"
on professional gambling. Ho
wanted thoso defendants who wero
shown to have participated in con
ducting tho gambling game where
tho defendants had been arrested,
to get heavy sonlences of imprison
ment. Prosser contended that tho
limit of fines should bo imposed on
the majority as tho men who con
ducted tho gambling game would
pay tho lines.
Judgo Robinson roported that
thero was nothing beforo the court
to indicate any such thing. The
court expressed tho belief that the
fino of $25 and costs which had
been imposed in the lower court,
had been excessive. Tljo lower
court should have fined the defen
dants 810 and costs giving the
higher court latitude in which to
increase the fine if it wore thought
necessary, to administer a rebuke
to the institution of trivial appeals.
The court however fined the defen
dants with two exceptions, 25 and
$2.50 costs of court each. The
fines in the lower court had been
$25 and $1 costs each.
Ah Wai and Shing Tai who had
been proved to have been conduct
ing the came7wcre given sentences
of six months imprisonment at
hard labor, each. Ah Wai had
been sentenced to 1 month by the
lower court and the other defen
dant was not then givon any im
prisonment. Ah Chee who had
been sentenced to 2 weeks and $1
costs did not suffer in the higher
court, as his case had been nolle
prosscd because he turned stales
evidence.
The usual statutory exception
was noted,, as was notice of motion
for a new trial, in behalf of tho de
fendants.
HELD FOII MANSLAUGHTER.
Meleana Auchookalani of Ka
naio was held by tho District
Magistrate on Wednesday to ap
pear before the Grand Jury on a
charge of manslaughter in connec
tion with the death of Fred Rey
mon who came to violent death
at the home of the defendant on
the night of January 10th. ,
Tho hearing took all of Monday
and part of Tuesday and while it
is more than probable that if the
defendant', had made a frank and
open statement of he .affair at tho
coroners inquest she would not
have even been arrested it it equal
ly certain that she will not be con
victed on the charge that she now
faces.
Many of the people connected
with the case are of the old class of
the Hawaiian race who seldom see
strangers, are extremely ignorant
and on being brought beforo a
court are so frightened that thoy
do not fully realize what they say
nor what they do and knowing that
a violent death had taken place
and fearing arrest for no fault of
theirs thoy made so, many conflict
ing statonunta that one of them is
now in jail instead of enjoying her
liberty.
It is extremely unfortunate for
all concerned that the County At
torney was not notified at once of
the suspicion of foul play and been
in a position to take charge of the
case at once. Ho would probably
liavo gotten at tho bottom of the
case at the inquest and saved the
County much money and the wit
nesses much inconvenience and the
disgraco some of them suffer by
having to admit tho falseness of
part of their testimony.
Tho defendant was represented
by Hugh M. Coko who decided it
was best to put on no witnesses be
foro the Court but to allow the case
to go to tho jury.
A LIVELY RUNAWAY.
Monday evening, about six
o'clock, a team of horses harnessed
to a delivery wagon, was seen gal
loping at a furious rato down the
Iao Valley road on the Main street
and continued in its mad run on
toward Kahului, but was stopped
near tho slaughter house.
Tho wagon and horses belong to
A. Knos' storo and had started lato
in tho afternoon with 11 load of
goods to some customers in Iao
Valloy. From what can be learned
it appears that tho horses started
beforo tjio driver could got hold of
tho lines. Down came the horses
and tho drivor, Joe Frias, chasing
