In re Charge Against TASALI
    No. 15-1912
    High Court of American Samoa Criminal Jurisdiction, Appellate Division
    March 16, 1912
    W. M. CROSE, Commandant U.S. Naval Station, President of the High Court
    
   DECISION

A new trial is granted in this case, it being believed that the evidence as to the age of the girl Pulea is not conclusive, particularly as the defendant now avers that the testimony of Alesio and Pulea was false, and that through ignorance and lack of experience he failed to produce witnesses or to cross-examine the witnesses of plaintiff.
