alton went to the telephone and
asked John Crowder to let me
telephone to the Police Station; but
he telephoned himself, telling the
man at the Station House to send
for doctor and have him sent to
the wharf TO see about a man who
had fallen overheard. G. II. Lewis
was at the Station House and he
told me to watch the man until the
doctor would arrive. so l did. A
few minutes DR.. Rodgers came
along, felt the mans pulse and then
told me to go to the Station House
and get q strctcher and have the
man taken up there, so went off,
when was called back by Kahalc-
laau, Officer, who had come to re-
lieve me. L told him that l was
going to get stretcher Ivy order of
the doctor, and he said "1'm going
for the same thing" So he said
"you 90 home and I will get the
strctcher," so L went home. At
the time the doctor arrived where
the man was lying, the white man
thai gave me information of the
mans fall, and another white man
were present; the last man was
stranger to me; he may have come
off the vessel. He was talking
with the doctor when the doctor
told me to go for the stretcher. All
that the doctor told me was to have
the man taken to the Station House.
He said nothing about the Hospital.

Peter Olson states: l was at the
time detained in the Police Station.
/ was in the yard when the man in
question was brought in on ~ STREET
cher, they took him into the corridor
down below and put him down. L
was very much Interested, l went
up close to the man to have q look
at him, | noticed he was all wet, did
not see any bruises on him. The
prisoners Immediately took off his
wet clothing, after we had look at
him we went out in the yard, when
we saw the man we thought he was
drunk, he opened his eyes several
times while we were looking at him.
After q while the turnkey r. Burns
said here comes the doctor, so | and
my two shipmates walked into the
passage after the doctor. The
doctor had his back to me. | could
not see what he was doing. After a
few minutes the doctor turned
around and addressed the turnkey,
saying that there was not much the
matter with the man, that he would
be all right in few minutes and
then he walked off, did not hear him
give any instructions what to do with
the man. The man appeared to be
asleep the remainder of the time
until we were locked up in our cell,
we then heard him asking for water;
every time he wanted it, the turnkey
gave it to him, he spoke quite plain,
he had several blankets over him,
he seemed to be quite sensible all
night. l was awake all night, when
the big turnkey came on duty, he
asked for water constantly about
every five minutes and about mid
night he asked for some food. The
turnkey did not appear to under
stand him, so he called him vile
names, and swore at him. Towards
morning he got quiet. About 6
o'clock a. m. | was let out of my
cell and | went over and set down
on the stretcher and asked him what
was the matter with him, and he
said that he did not know, he did
not remember that he had been in
the water, the last thing that he re-
membered was that he was going or
board the steamer, he said that he
was pretty well ON that morning
meaning that he had been drinking
heavy, he said that his limbs refused
duty, and asked the turnkey if he
| could be taken to the Hospital, ane
the turnkey answered that as soor
, as his superiors came down he woult
get him sent there. During the
whole time he appeared all right ant
without pain, only saying that hi
limbs refused duty. | did not speal
to him after that and between 9 an(
Y 10 a. IN. he was taken away.
