ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Commence at the
| point where you stated that you went down
| town after the labor bill was defeated.
| State whom you went with anu where?
| Witness-After the House adjourned on
the day the labor bill had been up, l went
down from the House with Kauhi, Nawa-
| hine, Paehaole and Nakaleka. AT the
| time, | was living with Achi at Palama
and that led me to go down King street on
| my way home. $50 We went down as
far as NUuanu street and then turned
| down to a brick building several houses
| from the corner OF King street above the
Royal saloon. L don't know the name of
the store. 1t was Chinese store. [ don t
| remember whether we went into the mauka
or makai store. 1t was the one that has
an Office, and goods piled up. L think
| there was safe in the corner of the room.
| Attorney General-What happened?
Wltness-We went in. There was quite a
| number of Cinnamon there, and they in
| quired about the labor bill. Kauhi had the
| list of ayes and noes. We sat down. Ka-
! Uni was near a Chinaman who asked him
! if anything had been done about the
amendment? Kauhi said nothing" After
| that Kauhi went further back in the store
| with the Chinaman. We sat out in the
store. Kauhi told them that the COnstitu-
! tiOnal amendment had not come up.
| General-WaS there anything
men-" Well, this Constitutional amend
ment must be killed, and we will kOkua
your"
Witness-While Kauhi was inside the
other members were out there talking to
the Cinnamon and they to US.
AttOrney-General-Wa there not some
thing said, to the effect that they desired
to have the amendment killed?
WitnesS-Kauhi was inside cOnversing
with him, we were outside. The China
S.4IH h.aI md
we ought to Kill it.
Attorney-General-W there no talk
after Kauhi went out about present?
HitchcOck-Was Kauhi the only one
that went inside?
WItneSS--I don't remember Nakaleka
might have gone in or PaehaOle.
AttOrney-General-D Didn't you say twice
to the committee that Nakaleka had gone
in?
WitnesS-My impression is that Naka-
leka or Paehaole went in with kauhi. Ka-
uhi went into an inner room with some
Chlnaman from the outside. l don't know
the name of the Chinaman. He was in
there about ten minutes. l remained in
the outer room. When Kauhi came back
we got up and followed him out.
Attorney -General-At the time Kauhi
came out from the back room was Naka-
leka with him?
Witness don't remember A China
man came out with him. Then we all got
the restaurant, and Kauhi stopped there.
Kauhl said the Cinnamon were very much
pleased that the labor law was defeated.
The Chinaman didn't say that he wanted
the natives to stand by them. We were
there a few minutes. The Cinnamon of
fered us cigars and some of US took some.
There was no talk about the Constitutional
amendment.
Attorneys eneral--Didnt you hear some
thing like this said there: 1t is good that
the la hnr hill hos haan billed hut ho ~
stitutionaI amendment is still to come?
Witness--They did seem to be pleased
that the labor license bill had been de-
feated, but didn't hear anything about
the Constitutional amendment.
AttOrney-General - Did Kauhi go in
side?

inside but was not out of my sight. [
didn't go in there with him.
AttOrney-Ge neral-WaS there any talk
about the natives killing the amendment
and a gift?

If there had been anything of that kind |
said L would have heard it.
AttOrney-G eneraI-Dldn't YOU tell me
to-day that the Chinaman said he wanted |
the natives to stand by them and defeat |
the amendments
Witness-No. That talk about the gift |
and present vas by the Chinaman when |
kauhl was inside. In regard to that state |
ment of KalaukOa's about the coal being |
ready for the steamer l very likely did |
say something of the sort.
Orney-General-Didn't he say it to |
you on that Monday?
Witness-I don't recOllect saving so on |
that Monday morning. What l told you
this morning was that perhaps did say
something of the kind to KalaukOa.
Attorney General-DO you still adhere
to the statement that you formerly made
about you and Kalaukoa going to Sing
ChOng's?
