NOTLKY WILL CONTEST.
Judge Itoblnson Directs n Verdict
in Payor of Proponents.
The Notley will case trial, which has
been the center of attraction In Hilo for
the past week came to a close Wednesday
morning by a decision of Judge Robinson
taking the case from the jury nnd order
ing a verdict for the proponents. W. A.
Kinney for the contestants gave notice of
nppenl. The trial of the case has been
attended with great interest by the pub
lic. The well known chatneter of the
maker of the will, the late Chas. Notley,
together with the great value, of the
estate made the proceedings of the high,
est interest. The case for the contestants
wns presented by W. A. Kinney of Hono
lulu; for the proponents, by" ex-Judge
Stanley, Cecil Drown nnd Geo. A. Davis.
Tile" trial at, numerous times brought out
the gladiatorial instincts of opposing
counsel, which sharpened the public ap
petite for details.
The devising portion of the Notley will,
made May 18, 1899, is as follows: A
brother in England was given the sum of
f$; John Mulllnger 411 England was
Kiven the sum of . 500; a son, David Fyfe
Notley was given the homestead lot at
Paauilo, together with nil fitrniturci
crockery, plate pictures, linen, carriages,
etc.; the proceeds of n life insurance
policy were, devised equally between
Mary K. Notley, wife of deceased; Wil
liam Notley, Maria Hughes and David
Fyfe Notley. children of deceased and
Emma Dauford, niece of deceased; nil
the rest of the estate both personal nnd
rcnl, was bequeathed in trust to T. R.
Walker and A. Lidgate for the following1
purposes:
One sixth thereof to wife of deceased;
one sixth to William Notley, nsou; one
sixth to the children of Charles Notley,
Jr., viz, John, Victoria, Maria, Lilly and
William; one sixth to Marin, a daughter;
one sixth to David Fyfe Notley, a son,
and one sixth to Emma Dan ford, nee
Mulliugcr, a niece. Provision is made
for the equable distribution, in case of
the death of any or all legatees, to sur
viving heirs at law.
On August 2, 1900, n codicil was made
to the will making Cecil Drown trustee
and executor in place of T. R. Walker.
On April 11, 1902, n second codicil wns
made revoking the clause in the will
which devised the homestead lot in Ha
makua to David Fyfe Nolley and be
queathed same to Emma Dauford. This
bequest in the last codicil was coupled
with the proviso that Mary K. Notley,
wife of deceased, during the lerui'of her
natural life, should have the use and oc
cupation of n certain cottage upon said
homestead grounds.
The contestants sought to break the
wHl on the ground Hint Mrs. Dauford
had exercised undue influence upon the
late Mr. Notley. The domestic affairs of
the Notley home were gone into in de
tail. Among the witnesses for contes
tants, there was Col. Samuel Parker, S.
F. Chillingworth and others from Hono
lulu. Children atul grand children of
deceased were put on the stand nnd de
tails of numerous unpleasant family dis
putes were given.. At the close of the
contestants' testimony, upon motion of
counsel for the proponents, Judge Robin
sou, found ns above stated.

Jury Returns Vordlet After Short
Dellbornlloii.
The case of the Territory vs. Funacoshi
and Wntunabe, charged with murder in
the first degree was submitted to a jury
last Friday evening and after less than
two hours deliberation the jury returned
a verdict of murder in the second degree
against both defendants. II. L. Ross for
tlie attorneys for the defense gave notice
that a motion for n new trial would be
filed.
In the case, the Teiritory succeeded in
putting up a showing of circumstantial
evidence. The chain was not absolute
and evidently left traces of doubt in the
minds of some of the jury, The general
public expected either a verdict ofacquit
tal or n verdict of murder in the first de
gree. The defense rested its' case on the
theory of suicide, not denying the allega
tion that the prisoticrs had subjected the
deceased to indignities, and pains for un
lawful purposes.
The case was presented to the jury for
the defense by II. L. Ross and Chas. M.
Lelilond, and that of the Territory by E.
A. Douthitt. The trial towards the close
attracted large crowds, to the court house.
among the spectators being a number of
lames.
Wednesday morning the attorneys for
the defense presented 11 motion for a new
trial, W, II. Smith made a strong argu
ment in support of the motion which wns
overruled by the court. The defense wns
given thirty days in which to prepare
their bill of exceptions.
The court then proceeded to pronounce
sentence. Funacoshi who gave his age
at 36 yenrs, was sentenced to thirty ycnrs
nt hard lnbor in the Hilo Jnil. Watanabe
who looks younger than his fellow pris
oner was given a sentence of twenty-five
years.
