f I THE GARDEN ISLAND TUESDAY. OCTOBER 19, 1915, 5 r ATROCIOUS GRIM E HAWAII ISLAND The Kohala Midget tells the f blowing story of the murder of a , school girl in that district: On Fridry last about 12:30, Har riet Kunane, aged 16, daughter of former deputy-sheriff Kunane, left the Kohala Girls' School, where Hie was a day student in dress making, to walk to her home, about a mile and a half distant on the government road. Her mother was attending a meeting of the Woman's Society ot the church, and did not reach home until about four or five. She found Harriet had not returned, and was uneasy, os the girl was always prompt and never went anywhere else without telling her mother beforehand. Mrs. Kunane soon went to the Manse to tell her anxiety, and an attempt was made to telephone the deputy-sheriff, but he was gone from the court house and could not be reached at first. Other search ers started out at once and with lanterns Wainaia gulch was ex plored on both sides of the road, Harriet's mother calling her name, but id vain. While the police were getting word and rallying, a messenger in a car went to Halawa Gulch to see Mr. Seu, the baDk clerk and learn ed that check3 Harriet carried to her mother had not been present ed at the bank. He went on to Tom's moving picture show, at Halawa, aud had the disappear ance of the girl announced; mean while "Central" had apprised everyone who had a telephone. The search proceeded through the night, on the theory that the girl must have been assaulted per haps killed and her body hidden in the bushes, cane, or somewhere. The police, with the assistance of Supervisor and Hiram Naipo, Ly man Perry Rev's. U. Cho Ping, Oshiro, and other volunteers, searched every canefield road and vacant building. The theory proved to be the true one, for a little after 12 a. m. Hiram Naipo, the senior patrol leader of troop No. 1, Bov Scouts, and Mr. Oshiro, entering a road in Kohala canefield, about half wav between Union Church and the Kunane home, found her hat. They called to the others iear, They soon found the checks and receipts lying, on the ground, the former bloody, and 126 feet from the government road, back a few feet from the canefield road, between the rows of cane, lay her body, as though she hud been pushed with considerable force backwards and to a prostrate posi tion. Her clothing was disarranged and bloody. Dr. Bond was summoned, aiid found that she had been dead- for some time, her bodv being cold and stiff. She was left there until daylight, when a coroner's jury could view the remains on the scene of the murder. Everything lends plausibility to the supposition that she had been enticed, or more probably fright ened, into the canefield road and then assaulted and cut with a knife. Her neck, side, hands all bore cuts. Hei windpipe was sev ered, and she must have died in a few moments; but not, a s the rumpled hair, the condition of her clothing and the twisted muscles ot her arms and hands show, until he lnd struggled violently, pro .Qhly trying to seize or ward off the blows of the knife with her Viands. There were said to b e bloody marks on her dress where a knife had been wiped. The community is shocked and ' saddened b y the awful tiagedv that has befallen one of its inno cent school girls, o n the mam highway, in broad daylight. The first clue that the police found was the statement of Ishikawa, a Japa nese auto driver, that, about 1 p m. he was going inside, and saw a Filipino, wearing a black coat, standing at the entrance to the plantation road, on the the mauka side of the roid, He stopped and asked him if he wanted a car and received a negative answer. About the same time he saw Harriet Ku nane a short distance away, ap proaching her home. Harriet's brother Joe is also said to remem ber seeing a man standing there, ai he came out of the canefield on tltL makai side of the road with grass tor the horse. That was the last seen of poor Harriet Kunane until as stated above, her body was found cold and stark in the canefield.
