A He Can Tell

KAMAKAWIWOOLE MUST
ANSWER IIQRER COURT
Police Make Interesting Discovery in
Searching Young Man's Home
Stole Socks from Mclnerny
;, Store.
VfiLi Kamakawlwoole. the clerk
I aboard' the steamer'-. Kinau who had
charge of the mall. room when the
reglsteredfmall pouch was stolen and
who has been under surveillance of .a
police ever since that time, Is now In
very deep water and, It ho does In the.
Circuit Court just as he did with Depu
ty Sheriff Chllllngworth yesterday, ho
will certainly go out to Oahu Jail for a
term.
At one time, a couple of years ago,
the young man was employed as a mes
senger boy in the clothing store of M.
Mclnerny fc Co. He remained there
(or some time and was dismissed for
general incompetence. It was noticed
shortly afterwards that a .ot of socks,
collars and shoes had made their dis
appearance. In some mysterious way,
the place had been entered and the
goods were gone.
Nothing was thought of the native
boy who nad been discharged and the
goods were given up as lost tor all time.
When the registered mall pouch was
discovered gone, William was taken to
the police station and very closely
questioned by both Sheriff Brown and
his deputy but the young man had
nothing that would In any way help th
officers In their investigations.
William was allowed to go aboard
the Kinau again but when that steamer
' returned on her last trip, the young
man was again examined by the police,
:ertaln facts having mm to light dur.
ne the Interim that made such an ex
imlnatlon necessary. The police could
dnd out nothing from the young man
o It was determined to search bis
vim.
All ttanner of evidence was found
but this o'ldence was not what the po
lice were atter. Socks, collars and
shoes stoles Iran Mclnerny's store
were what the officer found. Kama-
kawlwoole was questioned about the
stolen property and he came out with a
full confession ot having stolen the
goods. However, try as they would,
the officers could get nothing out of
the young man about the mall robbery.
William appeared In the Police Court
this forenoon on the charge of larceny
in the second degree. Ho waived ex
amination and was committed to ''the
Circuit Court for trial

SECOND SUPREME COURT . .,' ,
DECISION IN SAME CASE
Law of Inheritance is Elucidated
Doctrine of Adverse Possession
Made Plain New Trial
Ordered.
A unanimous opinion of tho Supreme
Court was filed this morning In the
case of Henry SmllTi, trustee, s. Ha
makua Mill Co. It Is written by Chlct
Justice Frear, and sustains tho excep
tions of defendant, sets aside the ver
dict and orders a new trial.
The suit was ono of ejectment for an
undivided one-fourth of the nhupuaa
ot Koholalcle, Hamakua, containing
6330 acres. A decision In probate was
formerly reversed, after which tho case
was tried before a Jury. OnMaw points
most ot the defendant's evidence was
stricken out and a verdict directed
for the plaintiff. Several questions
raised by the exceptions the Supreme
Court avoids answering, but tho con- i
elusions above reported aro based on
the following summary of the law:
"Under Civil Laws. Section 2113,
which provides that kindred of the halt
blood shall Inherit equally with those
of the whole blood In the same de
gree, but shall be excluded when not

"Evidence of ouster or adverse pos
session must be much clearer as be
tween co-tenants than as between
strangers in title. The circumstances
must be such as to bring home to 'tho
ousted co-tenant the adverse cbarao
ter of tho possession or such as would
bring It home to him It he paid proper
attention to his rights. Notice or
knowledge of the adverse possession
may bo Implied or constructive as well
as actual.
"But this rule as to adverse posses
sion as between co-tenants does not ap
ply where tho possession of the one
co-tenant Is not at Its Inception In
recognition ot or subserviency to the
other's title; as, where (he co-tenant
In possession claims sole ownership
and Is not aware of the existence of
claim ot title In the other co-tenant.
"One In possession claiming title but
having no title may purchase the out
standing title of ono of two co-tenanU
and continue to hold without thereby
acknowledging th'c similar title in the
other co-tenant or holding In subservi
ency to that title."
