I'S CASE
(
Argned and Submitted to the Mili
tary Court Yesterday.
CAFT. KINNEY'S MASTER EFFORT.
l'enl Neumann Gives II i Keaioni Why
tbe Accused Should be Acquitted.
The Judge-Advocate Answer the
ex-Queen's Talented Attorney.
Yesterday's sessions ot the Military
Commission were entirely devoted to
arguments. The Commission came
in promptly at 10 o'clock, and, after
the reading of the minutes, retired for
consultation.
" On returning, Colonel Whiting an
nounced that certain passages of the
statement made by Lilluokalani must
be withdrawn. A marked copy of the
statement was handed to Mr. Neu
mann. The words which did not find
favor were as follows :
11 A minority of the foreign popula
tion made my action the pretext for
overthrowing the monarchy, and,
aided by the United States naval
forces and representative established
a new government.
I owed no allegiance to the Pro
visional Government so established,
nor to any power, or to' anyone save
the will of my people and the welfare
of my country.
41 And only those who were in prac
tical rebellion against the constitu
tional government.
,!?'A11 who uphold you in this un
lawful proceeding may scorn and dea-
Sise my word ; but the offense of
reaking and setting aside for a spe
cific purpose the laws of your own
nation, and disregarding all justice
and fairness, may be to them and to
you the source of an unhappy aud
much to be regretted legacy.
. :"The United States liaving first in-,
terfered in the. interest of those found
ing the government of 1893 upon the
tasls?crf revolution concluded to leave
ta the Hawaiian people the selection
of their own form of government.
' This selection was anticipated and
prevented by the Provisional Govern
ment, who, being possessed of the
military and police power of the king
dom, so cramped the electoral privil
eges that no free expression of their
will was permitted to the people who
were opposed to them.'1
Mr. Neumann objected to any sec
tions being stricken out unless the
whole document was rejected. His
objection was overruled, and he pro
ceeded with his argument. He again
objected to the jurisdiction of the
Commission, quoting from Winthrop
on military law, as follows: "As to
place and time : A military commis
sion has Jurisdiction only of offences
committed either on the theater of
war or In a place under military gov
ernment, or martial law, .and com
mitted duriDg the war or toe period of
the exercise of such government or
law." He held that, provided the
accused was guilty of misprision, no
act had been committed since the pro
clamation of martial law, and that
she was amenable to the civil law ;
her's was an offense triable by the
civil tribunals. Counsel put great
stress upon the oath which the mem
bers of tbe Commission had taken,
and that they must convict on the
evidence. He then proceeded to a
summary of the testimony given by
tbe witnesses.
Kaae held a dual position secretary
to the queen; relative ofNowlein's.
All of his direct testimony shows that
he knew nothing of a rebellion al
though an intimate and trusted ser
vant of the acccused; was confidential
enough to question afterwards where
were the Commissions that had been
made out. Forms of commissions
from Gulick ; constitution from Now
lein; martial law and proclama
tion from Rickard. No testimony
that the constitution was signed,
only that it was delivered4 by
Kaae to Nowlein after engrossment,
and carried away. It is curious that,
on tbe evening of January 6th, al
though present when arms were being
distributed to thirty or forty men, he
heard no order?, nor got none himself,
aiid yet he was a relative of Nowlein's
and trusted employee of the queen!
He understood that an attack on
Washington Place was to be prepared
for, but, so little was the dread, that he
staid until between 10 and llo'clock be
fore going borne. He understood that
arms were to be lauded at Kakaako.
The diary lie thinks was burned by
order of the qut-en; next breath he
does not know whether by her order
or eomeboly else's, although burned
in his presf uce.
In his cos9-exauiinatin he states
that he ha, no knowledge of the or
ders given relative to the urnis.
Kaauwae was steward, soldier and
gardener. He is atjothc-r on present
at the distribution of arras ou Thurs
day night but bal none giveu to him.
He saw the arms, o he say; saw
them distributed to seme forty or fifty
people, yet did ot see one single
round of ammunition. He did not
stand watch that night, although the
evidence is that the watches were reg
ular from six o'clock to midnight and
from midnight to daylight. He went
to bed at 9 o'clock and did not see the
arms again until Sunday night. Yet,
LILIUOU
CLOSED
ix9 says, Clark told him to clean the
guns, be on the alert, and "when the
time came to work to do it" His an
derstandlng of "work," as told to the
Judge-Advocate, was to 'fight." The
order was given, aa he says, by Clark
between the hours of 6 and 7 o'clock,
yet at 9 o'clock he was in bed, asleep.
And asleep he staid until tbe arms
had disappeared again and he went on
guard, In the morning, unarm ed. He
was asleep all night, the Kakaako
affair had happened during
the time, yet he boldly ac
costs the accused with the news that
the "work did not get on very favora
bly;11 and, he says, she answered
"yes." The witness said, to Judge
Advocate, that by "work" he referred
to "revolution."
I believe, and so does the Court, I
think, that Nowlein told the truth
when he stated, in answer to a ques
tion by the Judge-Advocate, that, he
managed and planned the affair, to
overthrow the Government, without
any aid or assistance from the accus
ed. He does not beat about the bush,
his answers are straight and, although
incriminating himself, he acknowl
edges the affair as his plan to restore
the monarchy and by force. His
story for the prosecution, as against
himself, should receive proper recog
nition at the hands of the Court and
should weigh well in favor of the
accused. The Waimanalo went out.
Nowlein sent her. The agents on
board, Warren and Townsend, were
Nowlein's. The date set for the up
rising was January 2d. Nowlein
knew it. Thursday was made the
day for the venture, and, only then,
does Nowlein believe thai the hour is
at hand for he gives orders to Clark
for the arming of men to guard the
residence and person of the accused
while he, full of his mission, maybe
believing that he may never again see
his beloved chief, visits her, on her
veranda, where she is sitting, sur
rounded by other ladies.
At 8:30 o'clock, on Sunday morn
ing, Nowlein, the commander-in-chief,
the manager and the planner,
as he testifies, of the revolution,' in
order to be at hand when the move to
be made takes place leaves Washing
ton Place for Diamond Head, he bids
adieu to his chief and, although with
his mind full of the hazard, leaves the
presence of the accused with lips still
sealed to her of the purport of his
mission. "Then I went off," he says,
and have not spoken to the queen
since leaving heron Sunday morning.
The cross-examination is a clear and
honest renunciation of having given
any.information.tothe accuse about
the rebellion or any intended plans or
movements. 4 '.
Captain Kinney opened the argu
ment late in the forenoon and had not
finished at the noon hour when a re
cess was taken to 1 o'clock. Captain
Kinney's remarks were as follows:
May it please the gentlemen of the
Commission: The acts of treason
principally relied on, for there are
thirteen counts, are the procuring and
engaging of men for the purpose of
carrying out a conspiracy to over
throw the Government, and of pro
curing of arms and ammunition for
the same purpose, and the partial
establishment and preparation of a
government and a military force to
take the place of the government that
they intended to overthrow ; all of
which acts we contend are clearly acts
of treason as soon as committed, and
which we claim were within the
guilty knowledge of the accused.
Now, some matters are undisputed
and undisputable in this case. It can
not be disputed that an uprising has
taken place. It is now practically a
matter of history that after some long
months of mutterings, agitation and
incitement -on the part of the press
and supporters of tb late monarchy
the matter took an active and tangible
shape under the leadership of four
men Mr. Gulick, Mr. Seward, Mr.
Rickard and Nowlein ; and those four
men procured the landing of arms
both here and abroad, and ammuni
tion, and enlisted or engaged men
to take part in the undertaking;
that when the affair came off that
some 200 men were there armed and
on the field with the intention of
taking part with about 400 rifles, as
shown by the evidence, and bombs
and munitions of war gathered and
partially used in attempting to carry
out this purpose. It is also a matter
undeniable that certain commissions,
some eleven in,- number, for the prin
cipal. offices under a monarchy, were
prepared and engrossed, and a new
constitution, which fitted the uprising,
and which was to be used in case the
uprising was successful, was drawn
and engrossed together with a procla
mation of martial law, a proclamation
for citizens to assemble at the station
house and at tbe government build
ing, and a proclamation that it had
pleased Her Majesty to appoint to
certain offices. This is history. This
Is not disputed by even the learned
counsel. But it is contended that
the accused was entirely unconscious
of all this that was transpiring,
and presents herself spotless ana
immaculate before this court with
the statement, so far as this
uprising, which the learned coun
sel characterizes and dignifies by
the charge of an insurrection and a
riot, i9 concerned, that her hands are
clean, morally and legally, from any
connection with it Says the accused
in her personal statement: tTbe
movement undertaken by the Ha
waiians last month was absolutely
commenced without my knowledge,
sanction, consent or assistance, di
rectly or indirectly, and this fact is in
truth well known to those who took
part in it. I received no Information
from any one In regard to arms which
were or which were to be procured,
nor of any men who were induced, or
to be induced, to join in any such
uprising. I do not know why this
information should have been with
held from me unless It was with a
view to my personal safety or as a
precautionary measure. It would not
have received my sanction and I can
assure the gentlemen of this Commis
sion that had I known of any each
Intention I would have dinraaded the
promoters from such a venture
Now I submit and ajree with coun
sel that this case should be decided
upon the evidence, and I am willies:
and most earnestly desirous that it
should be decided upon that and
nothing else. - I wish to call attention
to certain other facts which are prac
tically undisputed in this case, before
we come to the question of the knowl
edge of the accused of tbe entire affair
We find in the first place that the en
tire uprising was In behalf of the
accused. It was accordlcr; to her ver
sion a surprise party tendered to Her
Maiesty by the residents of these Isl
ands, a conspiracy far reac&Ingr, wide,
and extending over monthi, but with
a caution that was only equalled by
their Hve and affection. The whole
affair was hidden In .: a Christmas
stocking to be opened on the Christ
mas morning that was to inaugurate
the completion of all that could be de
sired. Ve draw more upon the fund
of our credulity, and advance to that
point to which we must advance if we
are to follow the will-o-wisp of inno
cence which she has displayed before
this Commission and which this Com
mission, If It Is to follow, must follow
through swamp and marsh aud you
may well put on top boots before
starting, tiet us admit that in this
surprise, the one who was tobesur-
nrfRAd Atirl rvltrft fhA Kon ofl t esf If aft
did not know anything about it . We
have gone that far, and perhaps some
foolish man may not be willing to ac
cept that, .put I, am willing
that we should start at that
point. It is. understood further
that one of the four men who carried
out this conspiracy actively, earnestly
working night and day, was housed
under tbe roof of innocence, her confi
dential servant and advisor, the man
who among those four was selected to
D&ss the. word alomr throughout the
Island -pf Oahu, as he himself admits
to everybody, to get ready to do the
work when tbe time came to do it. I
understand from this statement, made
upon the honor of a aueen. that this
was going on when srie was engaged
as maicaiea. oy ner. statement, "xo
prevent the shedding, of tbe blood of
my people, , natives and foreigners
alike, I opposed armed, interference,
and quietly yielded to the nrmed forces
trronsrac against my tnrone,'ana ud
mitted to the arbitrament of the Gov
ernment of the United States the
decision of my rights and those of the
Hawaiian people. Since then, as is
well known to all, I have pursued the
path of peace and diplomatic discus
sion, and not that of internal strife."
And while the mistress of the house
was pursuing "the path of peace and
diplomatic discussion," her headman,
her confidential advisor, the one close
to her, under her own roof, was pursu
ing the path of peace with a bucket
full of bombs in his hand and a rub
bish pile full of rifles at his command,
all under the roof of the accused. Tbe
learned counsel has reminded this
Commission repeatedly of its oath, as if
only the disregard of your oaths stood
between the acquittal of the accused.
Let us swallow that It turns out
that while the accused was fa pursuit
of truth, some one, against her will
,nOT n v. r -.v. j
smuggled this arsenal right into her
own grounds, and in different parts of
her' yard, and that her household,
forty in number, that Thursday night
were armed to the teeth and surround
ing her in the pursuit of peace and
diplomatic discussion. We are told
that she knew nothing about it Some
men in the bog suggested, might gO in
over their heads at ooce, but I urge
the Commission on, in order that no
injustice may be done, to hunt out
some solid piece of ground in sight
and let us get on ii if we can and
think of this individual with forty
men the learned counsel says there
were only ninety engaged in the war;
we will take his say so for that in
side the acre lot occupied by tbe inno
cent accused, armed to the teeth that
night, five of them within fifty feet of
where she was in the habit of going to
rest
Upon the evidence it appears that
certainly not over 200 men were in the
field or prepared to go into the field,
and out of those 200 men over 40 were
in the Queen's yard ready to take a
hand, according to their own evidence,
and 50 out of the probable 400 rifles
used were hidden on the premises as
were also most of the bombs,: only a
few being elsewhere, and abundant
ammunition for the forty men and the
fifty rifles. The Queen Is made to say
in ibis statement that she bad no in
formation from anyone in regard to
arms that were to be procured. That
is a matter to be submitted to the
Commission upon all the evidence.
By the undisputed evidence it is
shown that commissions were drawn
by tbe direct order of the accused and
signed by her on or about tbe 28th of
December, at an hour when tbe evi
dence showK tbe Waimanalo was out
for the arms, the schooner had been
sighted and the revolution was upon
their hands whether or no. It further
appears that within a few days of that
time a proclamation by her of martial
law, carrying with it all the signifi cance
that that document means, the
proclamation to loyal citizens to rally
to the support of the Government and
to the preservation of property and
to appoint certain persons were in her
