him.
The witness then read from his notes
that part of the evidence referring to the
threat made to sue Hayselden and about
getting Custom House order. One sen
tence of the testimony reads as follows
'Saw the King come in and order liquors
on the Hayselden ACCOUNT
The Crown here rested
At IL As the Court took a recess.
On re-assembling at l o'clock Mr..
Hatch addressed the jury and gave a
brief outline of what the defense would
be. He called as the first witness
E. G. Macfarlane, sworn, stated: l
was in Honolulu in 1886 employed in the
firm of G.. w. Macfarlane & Co. as gen
eral managing clerk. ] was there at the
time in question when liquors were
drawn. First knew of it was the de-
livery OF liquors being made, ordered by
the King and Hayselden, the principal
orders by the King. Others that ordered
were Kapena, Keau and Lilikalani
The greater part were ordered by the
King, say two-thirds. The King ordered
in person and by written order. l have
had conversation with the King on the
subject. My knowledge of the transac-
ton was derived beause | saw the goods
delivered and [ received verbal orders
from the King. The goods were sent
away to various points all over the ISL
ahds. Some went to luaus before and
after the election. Instructions were
given me by the King after the deliveries
at the Palace to the effect that we were
to keep a separate account and Haysel-
den would 60 over it and see if it was
correct. That was the reason memoir
andum was kept on the back of the
blotter. [ objected to Lilikalani's bring
ing in orders as he generally turned up
drunk. So the King let Keau take his
place. The Kings merchandise and
wine accounts we're kept separate. This
account of liquors sent to the islands
was the Kings debt, and so considered
by me. The King owed large amount
at that time for other liquors. The King
has not settled his indebtedness alto
gether. What he has paid was in cash,
notes and Custom House orders. At
stated times we would take up the Kings
account and the duties on liquors would
be computed on the opposite side, and
Custom House order given for an
amount; notes were taken for the bal
ance. Latterly when we wanted money
the Chamberlain would give notes. The
Hayselden account was included in the
last settlement. During 1886 the de-
PENDANT had very little to do with the
business of G.. w. Macfarlene & Co. He
had to do with the foreign business.
Henry Macfarlane had the entire charge
of the liquor business. The defendant
took no part in receiving orders. He
took no part in the settlement; my
brother Henry did that. The defendant
was on the way to England at the time
of the settlement. He made one trip to
San Francisco directly after the session
of the Legislature. He returned quickly
and after the passage of the Loan Act he
went away again. He worked for the
Loan Act almost exclusively. His re-
latiOns with Hayselden were strange at
that time. Once at the MOTEL they met
and shook hands and made up. The de-
PENDANT said to Hayselden that he had
tried hard to defeat him in the loan bill,
but failed. 1t was in September or Oc-
tober. Macfarlane & Co. have delivered
goods on these orders. Goods that we
did not have they would supply.
CrOss-examined l testified in the
case before the Chief Justice Justice,
and stated my brother Henry had
exclusive charge of this branch. 1 saw
all the transactions every day made in
both stores. [ stated approximately that
Hayselden ordered to the amount of
81 900 to 81 200. The King ordered most
of the goods himself. l recollected a
