gate. Kachi was guard at the gate.
He came in alone and spoke TO me
and said my Chinese New Year TO
you, Eve been to the feast. He then
went upstairs. He had on a smok-
ing cap. | don't know what kind of
shoes he had on, only know the
clothes and hat. AT a quarter to
four called Charlie Clarke. to get
the stewards up and meat for the
prisoners.
BY Juryman. Whom did you
call first Clarke or the steward? No
reply, after long hesitation.
After calling the stewards Charlie
went to bed again. Nobody else
went upstairs, after Charlie except
Buckle. After Buckle went up 1
heard noise and told the guard that
Il Portuguese woman had broken her
lamp. The guards name was wal
loa. / thought it was caused by the
lamp in her room. | then asked the
guard at the outside gate il he had
heard noise, He said yes l think
it is the Portuguese woman's lamp.
l told Kaehi it could not be so, as
the lamp boy had been to ascertain
and found out that it was not.
then went towards Malaihi's door
but met him coming out of his room.
AS soon as Malaihi got the lamp he
held it up in his room and we
both saw the broken window.
When we saw it we wondered what
it was, whether done by n drunken
man outside with a stone or piece of
wood, not knowing what had hap
pened. We looked round and could
not see stone or stick. saw
broken pieces of glass in the room
and pieces of a broken sash. When
| saw there was nothing in the room
L thought of going to find out who
did it, or how it happened. l came
out and saw the lamp boy and told
him l was going to sec about it.
The boys name is Wailoa. l then
went out. If there had been stick
could have found it, but not a
stone. When l got to the East
corner | held up the lamp, and the
light reflected upon the person lying
there. When l saw the figure |
thought that was the person who had
caused the trouble. l said to my
self that's the fellow, he's drunk
and I'll have him. When l saw who
it was, l knew l had been mistaken
before. held the lamp over him to
look and see. He lay with his feet
toward the wall of the prison, On his
side, straight. His right hand was
stretched out and his left hand close
to his head which was between two
| stones.
Mr., Davidson here appeared.
The blood issued round his head !;
he was bleeding at the time. then
made up my mind that life was ex-
tinct, he was lying like Il corpse. l
could not see his face very well as
his coat partly covered it; his hat
was by the side of his head.
Mr.. Davidson said he had been
sent to appear for the relatives. The
Coroner asked him to put questions
through him, and, in explanation,
told Mr.. Davidson that there was no
Cry or noise other than that caused
by the glass.
To a juryman: He lay straight
across the path. / did not move the
body.
| Examined: / am not sure whether
he had shoes on or not. He had
worn cloth slippers. / don't know
whether he had boots, shoes or any
thing ON his feet. l did not move
the body, but went to tell the turn
key, Malaihi, outside.
| Mr.. Davidson asked would il moi
be better to have regular interpre-
ter instead of having the questions
put at hap hazard. Does it not dis
tract the mind of the juror to act in
two capacities. L came at the ur-
gent request of the family. I think
it would be better to have an inter
prefer for both parties.
Mr.. Owen Holt was then sworn as
interpreter.
