CeIE-The COroner's Inquest
and the Verdict.

Yesterday morning shortly after half
past six O'Clock native patient of the
Insane Asylum, named Kahele, broke
the neck of another patient, a China
man, All Fat. 1t appears that at half
past six O'Clock one of the keepers let
out the occupants of six rooms and sent
them over to another part of the grounds,
with the exception of one Kahele, very
violent patient who is kept constantly
chained to the wall. All Fat occupies
the adjoining room to Kahele, and while
the keeper was engaged in cleaning the
rooms, All Fat stole back and entered
Kahele's room. Keeper Kahaleloa heard
slight noise and on going to the room
found that Kahele had the Chinaman
face down on the floor of the room
and was holding him there. The
keeper commenced to pull the China
man from Kahele's grasp, and fin
ally after considerable trouble got the
man out Of the room, when he found he
was dead. The floor of the room was
covered with blood, as well as the hands
went to inform Mr.. Wright, the superin-
tendent, but he was in town on business.
However, he arrived a few moments
later and at once returned to town and
informed DIR. Webb, the attendant ply
stefan, and Deputy Marshal Dayton, of
the terrible occurrence. The doctor went
out to the Asylum at once and remained
there until late in the afternoon.
THE MANAGES ANTECEDENTs.
Kahele is from Kona, Hawaii, and was
admitted to the institution August 9th, of
this year. He is very violent patient,
and bis antecedents have all shown signs
of insanity. He is a tall and powerful
looking man, and not one that a person
would care to be left alone with He was /
lying on piece of mating on the floor,
with his head slightly raised, and
his left leg chained to the wall. |
When Dr. Webb spoke to him he an
swered in subdued voice, but when |
Coroner Dayton said something to him |
about the dead Chinaman, his voice rose
and shudder went through those who !
were in the cell.
THE DEAD MAN.
All Fat formerly lived in North KohaIa,
and was admitted August 18th. He was
not classed among the very violent pa
tents; his trouble being that he was al
ways feaEing someone would kill him,
There is no doubt that he stole back from
The grounds whither he was sent, without
he keeper seeing him and going into Ka-
hele's room, the latter sprung on him
and killed him almost instantly.
