the coffin and its contents were low-

The old keeper of the cemetery in-
formed High Sheriff Brown and Dep
uty Sheriff Chillingworth that he had
never seen such a quarrelsome party
at a funeral. George Rosa and the
wife of the dead man were among
those who attended the funeral. The
old cemetery keeper declared that
there was continual wrangling during
burial.
The Police are Informed.
William Keawe. a native lad. was
the first to inform the police of facts
that indicated that something wa3
wrong in regard to the death of
Joseph Rosa.
Keawe informed Deputy Sheriif
McGurn that he had seen blood on
the pillow upon which the dead man
hai rested his head in his own house
on Sunday. McGurn immediately
communicated with Deputy Sheriff
Chillingworth who, after acquainting
the High Sheriff with what was sus
pected, dropped everything else and
i,ae his whole attention to what is
supposed to have been a brutal mur-
I der.
An officer was sent al once to the
Rosa house and George Rosa was
I placed under arrest to await invest!-,
sation
He had only just returned
from the funeral.
Brother Had Been in Fight.
When George Rosa was taken to
the police station he bore upon his !
face and hands marke which clearly ;
showed that he had recently been en
gaged in an encounter, evidently a
desperate one. On his right thumb
was a mark which seemed to Indi-.
cate that he had been severely bit
ten. There were abrasions on his
face and on other parts, of his body.
He said that he had fallen down
stairs on Saturday night last, but af
terwards admitted that he had some
trouble with his brother Joseph, but '
emphatically declared that he had
not hit his brother. i
By this time Deputy Sheriff Chil-'
lingworth was well satisfied that ,
there was something very wrong in
the affair.
It was then that the. dead man's
wife was sent for and held for in-
esugauoil. All lUIS occurred lasi
last
evening, the police working quickly
in the matter and leaving no stony
unturned to make the cause of the
death of Joseph Rosa quite clear.
Saw His Father Struck.
The dead man's wife told an entire
ly differentstory than had been told
by the brother of the deceased. She
told of having seen her husband ly
ing on the floor, resting his head uo
on a blood stained pillow, but did
not explain her reasons for not ex

Joseph Rosa's son was also sent

Afterwards the wife admitted that,
when she went Into the room where ,'
her husband was lying on Sunday '
moraine she saw an iron bar and a
tutty knife lying near at hand. She
said that there was blood on the&e
instruments.
Willie Keawe had called at the
Rosa house about 10:30 o'clock on
Sunday morning and had seen Joseph
Rosa lying on the floor and the pil
low covered with blood. He had no-j

Rosa and hold an autopsy. Dr. Slog-
sett readily granted the permission.

asked for the necessary permission
to enter tho Catholic cemetery. This
was also readily given.
The Body Exhumed.
High Sheriff Brown and Deputy
Sheriff Chillingworth, accompanied
by seme trusty of the jail, weiit to
tho cemetery with the undertaker's
wagon and proceeded to exhume the
body, it was no easy task. The
earth had been tramped down hard.
When the soil was taken out It was
found so difficult to remove the large
box in which the coffin was contain

coffin out of the box. which was done.
