mother from her eon. tKis morning,
A suicidal pact, and the revival ; ef
an ancient custom makes 4ip a -story
which is stirring Japanese circlea
today.; .
Three years ago Mr, and Mrs. ' M.
Oshima with their son, Maaalchi.
arrived from Japan. They - aecured
work on a plantation and- prospered.
Two years ago they moved to Hono
lulu, where .the husband . secured , a
position and the son aecured work in
a household. Pater Oshima had saved
money,, and plans were made for the
purchase of a little horn in Hawaii.
Then one day a smiling Japanese
with beautiful - words came , to ' the
Oshima home and won the good graces
of the family. They were friends in
reality, and many . happy evenings
were spent together talking of the
daya in Nippon, andthe new fortunes
under the Stars and Stripes, the story
goes...
A short time the smiling Japanese
called at the home and that, after
noon Mrs. Oshima was found missing
According to the story told bra local
Japanese the stranger who had be
come a friend had won the regard of
Mrs. Oshima. The father and,, son
brooded over the situation and Ma
salchi, , the son, made a number of
efforts to break up the strange love
pact He failed.
This morning the mother opened a
letter and found the severed finger
of her son. Masaichi had decided on
the suicidal past which originated
thousands of years ago in the. Far
East 'Accompanying the aevered
finger was a letter in which the son
said that he could no longer bear the
estrangement between his mother and
father, and as a result would kill him
self. - ,
Masaichi followed out the ancient
custom of sending a finger as a proof
that he was soon to die. This custom
la said to have been originated in
Inner Mongolia. Three letters were
written by the son, one to his mother,
another to his father and the. thirc
to his friends. ' The matter was re
ported to the police, and the officers
are now making an attempt to locate
the young Japanese.- It Is-' feared
that the" Japanese' has already taken
