minutes. From there 1 came down
past Fort-street churchto Dodd's. 1
went in there. / stayed there 10
minutes to quarter of an hour. I
had drink there; went from
there to the Keystone, stayed there
about three or four minutes, spoke
to Mr.. Welsh, and others that |
knew; | then called at Hastie's,
stayed there 2 or 3 minutes, asked
llastie If he had any money for me
that he owed me; / called him out
and asked him on the side walk he
said he hadn't, asked me to let
him have his glass, that his wife had
got the consent of the Y. M. G.. A.
to have a show, that lie was to give
the show on the next week. there
was nothing else said the conver-
sation lasted about couple If
minutes. | went from there down
to the Royal Saloon, through Bethel
street, went straight to the saloon;
it was close on 8 o'clock. | had
loaned Iastie S25 on the glass. 1t
was a magnifying glass. gave him
the money some four months ago
when he had the shooting gallery. |
had let him have the shooting gallery
at S15 week. He owed me S45
for rent. He carried it on some
three months after / went to the
Royal. When loaned him the S25
he had the shooting gallery about %
months. He owed me altogether
nearly $40. When returned from
this conversation with Hastie two or
three strangers were in the room; |
remained there a quarter of an hour;
none whom l knew came in while
was there; | went from there to
Merchants Exchange; met man
named Schwartz opposite Afong's.
and talked with him about two
minutes; met persons / was looking
for at Merchants Exchange; they
belonged to bark Lizzie Iredale: |
stopped with them until ten or
thereabout. Between z and 8 that
evening / was behind the bar at nv
own place; took my supper at 6
O'Clock; did not 60 out anywhere
between Z and 8. do not know
of anything happening between z and
3 !; must have been after 8 that
Peterson came he did not stay
long; Sharratt asked him and me to
take drink; he had been there
about half an hour before Peterson
came I; it was about ten minutes
after that l called the express for
Sharratt; l always do have wagons
drive to back yard; Mr.. Sharratt
had little more than usual in him
that night, and | did not want him
to go out in that state. Came down
from Exchange directly to saloon;
did not meet anyone in particular
on the way down; was alone; told
these men to stop, as | would be
back; could not have been more
than two or three minutes after 10;
stayed at saloon till nearly half-past
10. Mr.. Peterson came in after I
had been there a while; after we
went in back room together he pulled
me by the coat; all the conversation
about the books and wanting to die
took place in those two or three
minutes; must have been between
10 and half-past. | left saloon with
Peterson by the same door, the one
facing on Merchant street. | bade
him goodnight, and went up Nuu-
anu street to Merchants Exchange,
where | had promised to meet those
men again. The glass Hastie pawned
with me l kept in small drawer in
safe; / gave it to him that evening
after | closed saloon, very nearly
IL; one back door was open, al
though l had not shut the gates.
That day | took in altogether over
5000; Hastie was not there when
counted it. While l was in back
room with Peterson someone came
to back door, muttered something,
and withdrew. Back door leads to
yard, that is fenced, small gate
leading to Nuuanu street. That is
not the door customers usually
come; there are three doors. 1t is
common for people to come to back,
to see who is in saloon. l have had
women come there, to see if their
husbands are there, and rush away
like flash of lightning. Last time
l was in saloon, stayed about twenty
minutes, and left alone; did not
meet anyone on way down. Peter
son never told me he left the doors
open. When he pulled my coat he
said his books were in such condi-
ton; he said nothing rbout leaving
doors open; am sure he said nothing
OF the kind. l could not have said
SO in my direct examination. Mr..
Peterson got chair and beckoned
for me to sit down; l noticed he
was very much excited and shaky;
l had beer but do not remember
what he had. He said: "The trou-
