Neville. think there were over two hundred.
because. when Neville got to the Lanai. the
rear end of the procession could not be seen.
Was you afraid?
Yes. When I saw the body of Neville, it
was after the first battle.
Was it before the second battles
1t was some hours after our worship.
that I saw Nevillss body. aud after the
second battle, which was about three
o'clock. 1 saw the body from about ten
till three o'clock, which was the time of the
second battle.
Did You not all go Oat men, women and
children, and kill NeviIles
No only those who desired to go and beat
him. No, at no time that morning did all the
Kaonites 60 out and stone him. They we're
very few who went out-Kumukahi, Kahiko-
ku, and two others whose names do not
know. did not see any one else go and stone
/ Neville.
Did you not throw stones at Neville when
I he was alives
/ did not. did not throw any stones onto
NeviIle's dead body. The man who was shot
in the thigh was Mokuhaaheo. Blood was
running from the wound, but not much. 1
know that MOkuhaaheO went off, after being
shot. to where KamAuoha was. said. that
after he vas shot, he ran into the lanai, but
he was shot near Kamauoha. There were
several persons stopping near to where No
kuhaaheo was shot; it was the second shot
that hit MokuhaaheO. who went into the lanai,
and did not go anywhere that I saw. I
did not see him 60 to Kaona. LumasEe was
the one who went and told Kaona not Moku-
haaheo.
How long after Mokuhaaheo was shot till
the time you saw that Neville was dead.
TWAS quite awhile ilOihilOa no) at the time
Mokuhaaheo was shot, Neville was on his
horse. afterwards ssw he was knocked of his
horse. after that be vas beaten and in one
hour from the time NokuhAaheo was shot 1
saw that Neville was dead.
When was it that Kahikoku and another
went out and threw stones on Neville?
Just after he fell from his horse, and was
lying on the ground. 1t was after his death.
John Sherman sworn by the Government,
in the course of his testimony, said that he
was not a follower of Kaona, but had come
there on visit. He did not think that Neville
was dead. when Kahikoku went up to pound
him; but when be had finished pounding him,
Neville was dead. saw Neville fail from
his horse, and he was Immediately seized BY
Kumukahi. Not large number of stones
wsre thrown, and oily one hit him, and tina,
on the right temple I was standing under
the lanai very mucl excited and afraid A
great many stones we're coming into the lanai
Neville did not say anything first did not say
surround the lanai" Mokuhaaheo fell
where he was shot. There was great dis
turbanee, people running hither and thithsr;
all the people were in the lanai and all stand
ing up. Two, Lunaawe and Kakina, we're
sent outside to ask what Neville and his party
wanted. I watched them they did not 20
very far. They did not have flag with them,
but had bibles at their sides. Neville did not
stand to talk with them. He did not take any
paper from his pocket, nor did he say that he
came to them, or any of them. Witness thinks
if any such thing vas said, he would have
heard it.
kahilo testihes TINT the Sherif's followers
seized Kamauoha ard pulled him down, and
kumukahi wrestled with them then Kaona's |
followers rushed out and threw stones. He
thought that Nevill. was breathing slightly, |
when the prisoners vent out to beat him.
The rest of this and some subsequent testi- |
mony tends to show that when the huts were \
burning, and the min wounded by the pistol |
shot, was brought n, and the people very
much frightened, Ksona came up to his desk, |
prisoner got of his h1rse and came in. Kaona |
asked him if Neville was quite dead. Prison
er answered no. Go and kill him, don't let |
any life remain in him, lest God be angry if |
his life is spared"
We give KAkina's testimony in full, and |
with that our account of the trial must close. |
1t viii be borne in mind that Kakina was one
of the messengers sent to meet Neville.
Defence offered to show that Kaona and his
party were in possession of the land, under an |
honest claim Of right. by letter of Honora-
bic Charles Kanaina to Kaona, giving them
of the land. This was objected to,
and the objection WAS sustained
