At 10 o'clock the Court re-cOnvened

with
Before addressing the jury in the above
| case the Acknowledgement stated to His
| Honor that it had been decided that the
| Government would no longer follow up
| the charge of treason against the de-
! PENDANT, and he desired to enter nolle
pros. His Honor ordered clerk, Henry
| Smith, to make entry on the Court re-
cords of the nolle pros. against Wilcox
on the charge of treason.
| The Acknowledgement stated further
that the charge against Sam Hook Cease

| there not being sufficient evidence to
convict. He also stated that a salts
factory arrangement between he govern
ment and MIR. Bush charged with libel
on Mr.. Achi an attorney had been
arrived at AS the case was
more of private than : public
nature he considered it was proper to
discontinue further proceedings in that
matter The Acknowledgement now 10 05
continued his address to the jury in the
case of r. w. Wilcox charged with con-
spiracy. The speaker touched upon the
facts which the prosecution would adj
| vance and sketch the circumstan-
ces connected with the organization from
it's inception to the insurrectory move
ment on July 3Oth. He claimed that
the prosecution on the charge now pre-
scented, need but offer proof of the con-
spring together of defendant with others
to form a conspiracy and that would be
sufficiently we'll shown. To-day defen
dant was not charged with treason but
with a conspiracy to commit the crime
of treason.

stated in substance that he had been
abroad in italy, studying for eight years
under the auspices of the Hawaiian Coy

panied him, Wilcox and James Booth.
| Witness then recounted the story as
previously told by him and which has
| been fully published in the ADVERTISER,
relative to his connection with a secret
! organization through the medium of
Wilcox's influence. The gist of wit

ton; presided at the meetings held at
Iwilei and Palama; administered oaths
to new members and was recognized as
the head.

cess until 1 o'clock, Boyd being still
