order, and the Judges lips were seen
to move, but no sound emanated
therefrOm. His voice was drowned
by the
CHEERS FOR JUDGE AND JURY,
Which were heartily and honestly
given with fervOr and unanimlty
unparalleled in any judicial records
''Three cheers for the Judge, "three
cheers for the jury" ''three cheers
for Adolph," who was then hoisted
on high and carried out into the cor
ridors, down the stairs, and into the
narrow confines of Merchant street,
where the cheering had already
gathered an assemblage that blocked
the highway generally known as the
peculiar property of the police. Down
towards Montgomery street the eX-
cited throng surged in a human
nass-a body guard for the Spreekels
boys, that it would have been dlt1-
| cult to break. Every old Hawaiian
in San Francisco was there awaiting
| the decision. Colonel Spreckels, who

minutes before the result was known,
| heard the cheering, and rushed up
| from Montgomery street. A way was
cleared for him, and Adolph broke
loose from his brother John. Then
occurred the meeting between
FATHER AND SON.
It was indeed an effecting scene.
| The overstrained fathers feelings
gave way. Their arms were twined
| around each others necks, the father
kissed his beloved boy and the tears
| rolled down his cheeks. Heads were
| turned away and silence reigned
where there had, few seconds be-
| fore, been such enthusiasm. In an
instant the two boys jumped into a
| buggy and drove off hurriedly to con-
vey the good news to their mother
| and brother, who were awaiting them
on the Maripesa. The joyful family
| meeting was there repeated. The
| Colonel, with his heart bursting with
joy at his boys freedom and the vim
dication of his own character ex-
| pressed in the decision of the jury,
| turned to his friends and was just
able to say, "Gentlemen, 1 thank
you; thank you ALL" Many remem-
bered the meeting, months ago, be-
tween father and son within the old
City Hall, and all were delighted tc
witness this other meeting. Three
more cheers for Adolph were given as
he drove off, then three and "tiger'
for the Colonel.

/ Node Young was visible and none
of his adherents, if he has any, save
a sickly green-looking youth with
note book. The brothers were moi
allowed to drive off without a cordial
greeting from Jimmy Gibbs, the most
renowned cOmpounder of cocktails in
San Francisco. Regardless of health
and personal safety, he rushed bare
headed in front of the fast-pacing
chestnut, risking his life to give his
Aloha to the boys. Further on were
the proprietor, editor an staff Of the
"NeWs Letter." who, one and all
looked pleased and happy. Adolph's
friends then took possession of Mont.
gomery street and dispersed to meet
later at the ColonePs house, of which
they took forcible possession, and
where they were royalty received
No less than 1900 friends came and
went during the evening, and band
was sent to serenade the family. Mrs
Spreckels received a few of her most
intimate friends, and at midnight the
family were allowed to retire, after
undergoing most trying and ex-
citing day, which was so satisfac.
