The King vs.. Jack Kuamoo. Con-
spiracy, 1st degree. Mr.. Rosa said
the defendant and others we're In
dicted together for conspiracy. He
proposed to make motion to quash
the indictment. In order not TO
prejudice tho others mentioned in
the indictment lie thought the mo-
tion should be heard before Kua-
moo's plea was taken. The Attor-
ney.General said il the defendant
did plead it would not affect the
correspondents. Mr.. Rosa said il
the indictment fell Kuamoo would
have an advantage in not pleading.
The Atterncy-G eneral had not heard
of any case where counsel thrust
himself into another case. The
Court thought where the cases were
amassed it was simply for conve-
nience. The case against each man
had to be proved. He did not see
that Kuamoo's plea would affect the
others on tho indictment. Kuamoo
then pleaded guilty. The Attor-
ney-General moved for sentence.
On behalf of the defendant he would
say that he had attended one or
more meetings. He marched to the
palace but did not take any active
part in tue affair, probably repent
ing. He was q bandboy and Mr..
Berger spoke well OF him. Under
all the circumstances he asked the
| Court to be lenient with the defend
ant. His Honor asked Kuamoo sew
eral questions eliciting from him
that he went into the palace yard
between five and six O'Clock; went
out for time and then back, car
ried gun, left the yard for good at
II O'Clock after firing had COM
menced, was arrested several days
after. Did no act of violence. His
| Honor sentenced the defendant TO
one months imprisonment at hard
labor without costs. The operation
OF the sentence was suspended until
Monday.
The King Va. Hamaia. Conspi-
rscy. Mr.. Rosa said he appeared
for the defendant. He proposed to
make q motion to quash tue indict-
ments in all cases for conspiracy in
which he appeared as counsel. After
an objection on the part Of the At
torncy- General Mr.. Rosa filed mo-
ton to euash the indictment in the
case of the King VS.. S. X. Pua, ka-
huakai, Kaona and J. Kuamoo,
conspiracy, on the ground that the
indictment does not set forth any
crime, and therefore the defendants
be dismissed without day. Mr..
Rosa in argument said the indict-
ment did not set forth crime, it
was simply descriptive of intent.
Mr.. Hatch in behalf of the Crown
argued that the indictment was
good. His Honor asked if any other
counsel had a similar motion to
make, so that they could be heard to-
gether. Mr.. Neumann said he had a
motion to quash to make in one case.
The indictment was such ss his
client could net be tried under. He
quoted authorities. His Honor af-
ter hearing arguments oyerruled the
motion to quash the indictments
which he thought were good and
quoted authorities to sustain his de-
cision. Mr.. Rosa noted exceptions.
Hamaia was then arraigned and
pleaded not guilty.
