William Makaukane and William
MAUna, recently arrested by the po
lice, were arraigned in police court
this morning on an accusation of im
personating a policeman. Each plead
ed guilty and was fined $100 by Judge

detective is still investigating th9
charges of extortion and blackmail!

they will be tried ajain.
According to Kellett, Makaukane

Moana road and a stretch of beach on
Kalia road just waikiki of the long

but one remained' obscured in the

police badge, accosted victims, usually I
in autos, effected a "phoney" arrest j
and afterwards discharged the "game."
' Kellett says there are still more
involved in the scheme, and other ar
rests may follow. The gang radiated
around the hula house just ewa of
Sheridan road, but the hula establish

Several complaints came ' to Capt
McDuffie's office regarding the gang's
activities, but it was not until a young"
woman informed the police that they
got a definite lino on them.
