meeting July 18th. John Baker left for
Hilo on July 18th. He attended at the

persed before any arrangement regard
ing another meeting was come to. The

On the night of July 18th Jim Kauhane
was at the meeting. Between this date
and July goth l was at my mothers
place In the country. There were no
meetings between July 18th and 29th.
ErOn July the 9th came from the coun-
try and went to stay with Wilcox at
Palama. The meeting of the 29th be-
gan at p. m. | saw Loomens on the
18th outside lane near where Wilcox
was residing. He spoke to Wilcox dur
ing that time, and was there about half
an hour and then went back to town.
L next saw him about s p. m. on the 29th
July and then handed him q bulldog
revolver. This was in the bedroom of
Wilcox. l also gave Loomens some
cartridges, but the pistol was not loaded
when | gave it to him. Wilcox told me
to give out red shirts, guns and caps to
the men, and l was in that room until
about 10 p. IN. | then went to the
diningroom of the princess where were
about seventy people. [ saw Loomens
again before we started for the Palace
he had then lantern in his hand,
and went to town behind me. We were
ali arrayed in two lines near to the
banyan tree. Three squads started from
Palama, and | went with the first, with
Loomens right behind me. The men
were armed with rifles and bird-guns
loaded with shot. loaded some OF these
weapons, and caps were given to the
squads which followed each other. The
object IN loading the guns was to use
force if necessary. The march began
between and a. m. on July Both. We
marched through the middle gate to
King street, thence along King to Rich
ard, up Richard to Palace Walk. The
first policeman captured was at Mauna-
kea and King street corner. Wilcox
took him. Loomens was still behind
me. Wilcox held up several others.
On arriving at the Palace gate [ lost
sight of Loomens in the confusion that
occurred there. The sentry at the gate
would not open it, and | saw man
climb over it. The sentry challenged
us, but when Wilcox spoke to him he
went away. At the gate Wilcox gave
orders to load, and the man who had
climbed over now opened the gate and
we marched inside the Palace grounds.
There were between seventy and eighty
of us, and all were armed with rifles,
guns or pistols. There were thirty-five
rifles besides over thirty bird guns
When we got into the Palace yard the
armed band was formed in two lines be-
hind the Palace. | then saw Loomens
talking with Wilcox. l then went away
with Markham to another part of the
grounds. Wilcox called out to Robert
Parker and asked who h ad charge of the
Palace. The men were still standing in
line and remained in that position until
daylight. | did not see Loomens again
| that day. The last time | saw him was
before daylight. Wilcox went several
| times to the Barracks to see Kahalewai.
The cannons were got out after l saw
| Wilcox and Loomens talking together.
Wilcox put me in command of the
| cannons on the Eva side of the
grounds. Markham had charge of the
cannon facing Likelike street, and l
| occasionally went over to see him. L
once went outside for loaf of bread.
| The King was not there. l heard Will
cox tell the men to catch a riheman
named Schumann and bring him into
the yard. saw him brought in, and
Wilcox spoke with him. [ saw the
window of the Opera House drawn
down, and Wilcox called to the men
there to shut the window or he would
fire the cannon. They refused and the
firing began. When the firing from the
Opera House began Wilcox went under
tree and shortly afterwards l was shot
in the leg. We could not converse as
the shot was coming fast. bound my
leg with a handkerchief, and tried to
fire the gun again; but got shot
in the head and lay senseless for while
After got up went through the Palace

of his wife and little daughter, and l told
him l was more dead man than he
He was not wounded. saw Mahaulu
and Gabriel in the bungalow and Wilcox
was looking very blue-he had lost al
hope. He was dressed in uniform and
carried rife as well as the others in
the bungalow. / heard Mahaulu cry
out "peace," and he put his handker

handkerchief on the end of broom and
went out. In the morning when we en-
tered the grounds we lifted the door o.
