TUESDAY, Oct. 22d.


The Court opened at 9:35 a. m.
The hearing of the Wilcox case
was delayed by the non-arrival of
the witness, Robert n. Boyd. He
came in at Eve minutes to ~ o'clock
and stated to the Court that be I'M
derstood the hour for opening was
10 o'clock.
The cross-examination of Boyd
was then continued by Mr.. Rosa.
The witness stated that he had paid
visits to the palace and barracks
previous to July Both, that the Prin-
cess Poomaikelani and Prince Ka-
lanianaole passed in and out the
palace yard on the morning of the
30th, that the Princess was cheered,
that the palace could easily have
been taken. The witness stated
that the bullet which went through
his leg must have been fired from
the Music Hall. Soon after day
break he saw Hoapili Baker enter
the palace grounds with Mr.. Robert
son, the Nice-Chamberlain. Saw
Baker talking with Wilcox in a
friendly manner. Robertson asked
Wilcox for permission to 90 to his
office. Robertson did not order the
crowd in the yard to disperse. he
would not have given evidence in
this case if he had not been let free
would have protected the King in
the palace. Heard that the palace
soldiers were in our favor and also
two companies of the Honolulu Ri
hes, 1 think G and ID, not quite sure.
Heard the Chinese were in favor
with us. This made us feel more
cheerful, and surer of obtaining our
object. We felt sure that we would
get The new constitution. Wilcox
never cautioned me not TO carry on
the movement. Jack Kuamoo said
he had a good deal Of influence with
the natives. Do not remember him
saying he had the palace password.
Jim Kauhane said he had good
many friends among the palace
soldiers.
BY Mr.. Hatch-Wilcox told me
the Chinese were to join US, did not
state the number. He said the Chi
nese we're going to raise revolu-
ton.
BY the Court saw the papers
containing the new Constitution, did
not read them. Wilcox had them.
George Markham was next sworn
and gave similar evidence as that in
the Loomens case. New evidence
brought out was that Wilcox told
him he had got 5000 from G. Aio
alias Goo York, who had since left
fer China. Markham went with
Wilcox to Sam Kun Lungs store
on Hotel street to get red shirts and
caps. Saw Papu there. The shirts
and caps were not paid for. Saw the
same shirts and caps on the
night of the 29th at Wilcox's resi-.
dence. They went to You Min s
| Co.'s store on Nuuanu street and
agreed to buy twelve bull dog PTS
tolls at S., also some cartridges

them to him. l went to l.. Ahlo's
