Dr. Holland of Puna met with n severe
accident last Saturday .night that laid
him up in bed for a week and caused the
postponement of the Tavash murder case
in which he was an important witness
lor tnc prosecution.
In company with W. I. Rlckard, Dr.
Holland was driving down a steep hill.
The darkness was intense. A wheel of
the buggy struck a stone or a chuck hole,
snapping the buggy tongue. The vehicle
then rushed upon the heels of the team,
frightening them until they became un
manageable. Both Mr. Rickard and the
Doctor did their utmost to keep the
horses under control, but they dashed
down the hill smashing the buggy com
pletely. Dr. Holland when thrown out
struck a stone, and suffered severe
brui7cs on the side and in the groin.
He was taken to his home at Kapoho
where his injuries confined him to his
bed several days. Mr. Rickard escaped
with better luck, although he had a
rough shake up.

Assistant Deputy Attorney (leiiprnl
Tells Why Ho Abdicated.
15. A. Douthltt, Assistant Deputy At
torney General, was seen by n TriiiOH
reporter regarding the tic up in the Attor
ney General's Department yesterday.
He said: .
"I have learned from several sources
that the Republican Central Committee
would oppose my appointment as Deputy
Attorney General and it is n question
whether that body would favor my reten
tion, even ns assistant. I have been in
Hilo since December 31, working night
and 'day on a big criminal calendar.
Since the retirement of E. P. Dole, I
have communicated with Lorilti Andrews
by letter and by wireless, stating my po
sition. I obtained no satisfaction except
that I was to remain in Hilo to the end of
this term. I came to the conclusion that

....-. ". lU,.u .... .......
Detmly At
Altitrmtu fliHtnml mtl tl llilo wnrL '
sliould be finished nud that ill)' dismissal
from the department would follow tioii
my return to Honolulu. So before giving
any one n chance to turn me down, I
chose to retire of my own volition. I
take this course, for the reason that the
only reply lo my communications with
Honolulu' has been n message from John
W. Cathcart that I would receive n coin
mission for the Hilo term. My regular
commission expired January 30. 1 did
not consider it fair to myself, that I
should continue to act, when I have
received Information to the effect that
my services .would be dispensed with
tiiiou my return to Honolulu."
I At the time of Mr. Douthltl's with
j drnwal from the office, most of the im
I portaut cases of the term had been tried
and he arranged witli the Court lor a con
tinuance of several cases remaining on
the calendar.
Asked as to his future course, Mr.
Douthilt said he would enter the private
practice of law at Honolulu.
CRIMINAL CASKS.
A Number of Jury Trlnls With Local
Counsel Prosecuting.
The case against Henry Wcssel,
charged with the sale of sprituous liquors
without a license was tried Monday re
sulting in n verdict of acquittal, Smith &
Parsons appearing for the defense. In
this case there was much time consumed
in securing n jury. Nearly all of the
disqualifications beingou the ground that
the jurors stated they would not give
credence to the testimony of informers.
The trial consumed most of the day on
Monday and the jury was out all night
and until Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.
The trial of John Jardine anil Maria
Jardinc for murder in the second degree
was closed last Friday evening, the jury
returning a verdict of acquittal, after be
ing out about ten minutes. The evi
dence and instructions of the Court went
to the jury without argument. The
testimony introduced showed that the
deceased, after a quarrel with the de j
leuaams, leit ineir premises and secured
a hoc. With this weapon he returned,
entered the Jardinc premises and pro
ceeded to assault the defendants. In
self defence, Mr. Jardine wielded a stick
with fatal result. The defense was made
by Attorneys Lelllond & Smith.
Tuesday afternoon in the absence of a
representative of the Attorney General's
department, Homer L, Ross was em-
plojed to prosecute in the case of the
J Territory
vs. Francisco Torre, in
dicted for rape. The testimony was sub
mitted to the jury without argument. The
jury returned a verdict of guilty after
being out but a short time,

There was gloom in the Fourl
1 Cir-
cult umrt lucsday morning. A
jury
vas in the box that had been out all
night wrestling with its twelve mcmlicrs
to come to nu agreement ns to the guilt
or innocence of one Wessel.chnrged with
selling spirituous liquor without a li
cense. It was one of Hilo's dark cold
mornings nud the air in the court room
was ns uncomfortable as the depths of a
lava cave in Kallmann. Judge Estec,
who dropped in to see how things were
going, was attired in his heaviest over
coat. Carl Smith who had kept late
vigils the night before, awaiting his jury,
was wrapped in n raincoat. Attorney
Lelllonil," worn with work nt murder
trials was not able to be present in court. '
wise was in His oliicc nursing a game
leg and Homer Ross after a night witli
belligerent clients looked a-wcary.
Uailiff Silva rapped attention and
opened court. Judge Little took the
bench with Olympus frowns corrugating
his whilom placid brow. He called for
the jury's verdict. Wan and haggard,
Foreman Sutton passed It to the clerk. It
read, we find the defendant Wcssel not
guilty. There was one happy man in
Court the acquitted man.
Judge Little then asked Sheriff An
drews if he could procure local counsel
to prosecute the untried criminal cases on
the calendar.
This exposed the difficulty and inadc
plain what it was that produced the
gloom. Deputy Attorney General E. A.
Douthitt had refused to further prosecute
for the Territory, Mr. Douthitt's com
mission in office expired January 30. The
new Attorney General, Lorriu Andrews,
according to the Honolulu pipers, in
tended to take 110 action regarding the
disposal of Mr. Douthitt's case. Mr.
Douthitt had sent several wireless mes
sages to the Attorney General for in
structions in the matter nud up to Tues
day morning had received no reply.
Monday, Judge Little sent n message to
Chief Justice Frear that owing to u va
cancy in the office of Deputy Attorney
General, the Court was unable to proceed
with the trial of criminal cases and asked
for prompt action.
Meanwhile the court switched from the
trial of criminal cases nud took up civil
causes.
