hereby certify that the above is a true copy of
the confession made and filed in the case Of The

Attest my hand and the Seal Of the Second Ju-
diclal Circuit Court this, 9th day of June, A. d.
Clerk Circuit Court "a Circuit.
We present the above for the consdera-
ton of our readers for the purpose of call
ing their attention to some matters bear
ing upon the case.
Mr.. Crowningburg has held for months
past a responsible position under the GOV
ernment, having large sums Of money to
disburse and this without a system of
,lnn1-z -,
above given has been in the hands of the
Government for at least six months with
ont causing any change in the relations
between Mr.. CrowningbTg and the In
terror Department under which his com
mission was held
We are advised that Mr. Preston. the
late Attorney General, called the attention !
of his colleagues to the fact of the admis- |
sion of Mr.. Crowningburg of the offence |
of forgery, and urged that a due regard |
for public interests demanded the suspen- |
sion Of Mr.. Crowningburg until after trial |
upon the charges; but without effect |
This paper and other journals have made |
allusions to the matter, which allusious |
have been treated with indifference
MIR. CrOwningburg has been in this city |
since the date Of his confession, and on |
very many occasions has been upon our |
streets in the company of His Majesty the |
King and His Excellency the Minister of |
Interior, evidently being upon the best of |
terms. While we admit that as David |
kalakaua and John L. Bush. these gentle
men might believe their comrade innocent |
Of offence, and this too in spite Of his
sworn statement TO the contrary, and so
might treat him as a friend wrongfully |
accused, We also hold that as His Majesty |
the King and His Excellency the Minister
Of Interior they ought not to have coun
tenanced a person under so grave a charge
and disregarded the opinion Of our citi-
zens, both native and foreign.
Mr.. Crowningburg has taken occasion,
since his indictment, to declare upon
several occasions, in Wailuku. that he did
not fear the result of his trial for if found
guilty His Majesty the King would pardon
him before he had been imprisoned a
week This statement is vouched for by
native and foreign citizens on
Maui
1t is now in order for His Exccilency
the Premier to say that the whole matter
IS entirely new to him, and to assure the
lear public that a due regard for the
majesty of thp law will he I1pheld
