PETITION AGAINST pAikULi.
Trial cf the Contested KooIau Flee Z
,;on in the supreme Court,
(Conclnded.l

Paikuli-Was one of the candi-
dates at last election; was declared
elected. On morning of election
paid Kohau s., for entertainment of
Kailoa and myself before, and of my
son and myself on the previous
night; he declined to fix any price,
so ] gave him So; did not see my
son pay him So l know nothing of
it; heard OF it first in court | paid
Ava "a first, and afterwards 81,
making So paid no one else, (shown
list); the other names besides Ka-
hou and Ava on list, l did not pay
money to; made report on February
IL; l resolved to pay these men af-
forwards; they were not personally
appointed by me, they were men,
toned to me by Kailaa; l intended
to pay them when able paid Kailaa
no money; paid nothing to Paoa,
Kulepaha and Kaali; put them in
list for two reasons; first through
ignorance of the proper form;
secondly, understood Section 20
of Election Law allowed me to
hire lunas thought it proper to put
on the list all int ended to pay as
well as those whom had paid
did not swear to list; filed it with
chairman of inspectors on Satur-
day of the same week as the 18th;
have made another list with assist
ance of my attorney; this is the list
it was written by Mr.. Rosa or his
clerk; did not put down my fee as
candidate in the old list, but insert
ed 1t in new list; this list shows ac-
tual expense paid by me.
Mr.. Rosa offers notice of names
of runners, watchers, messengers,
ETC., also amended list of expenses.
Gave list to inspectors offered it to
Mr.. Rose and Kaulia, but they said
tue time was past and refused to take
il; met Jno. Paoa at his house on
morning of election; conversed with
him; kaila had told me Paoa was a
runner for me and l went to his
house to give him some ballots; he
took them there were fifty; did not
throw him 81; never talked with
him promising money; went into his
house; others were present; these
people were coming in as / was going
out of house; came in by gate facing
Waikane when l handed ballots we
were alone; noticed several men
coming in as L went out; cannot say
who they were; my horse was hitch
ed outside; am not sure who they
were; think they were neighbors ;
went to his house little before this
the time l was going to WaimanalC
with Kailaa; no talk at that time
about his being a runner for me.
Mr.. Rosa offers list of lunas in
evidence.
Cross-cXamination - Thought !
had a right to hire lunas; had ne
money, therefore made no promises
can't say what they thought;
thought they were entitled to re.
ward; Kahau, Kuniola and Others
were put in my report as gratuitous
assistants; they had not said they
would serve me free; Kahao is 8
rich man and it would be offering
an insult to make such an offer
Kailaa was anxious to have Inc rur
and did great deal for me pu
down his name for SO, by and by
: Kama was put down rs gratuitous
people said he would make good
J runner; did not intend to pay him
: have said nothing about Paoa; Paoa
and Kahau were said to be runner:
for me, but | saw them doing moth
, ing; l believe they voted for Kaulu
| kou; know l got over thirty votes o
Kaneohe people, Paoa had fifty
| votes, and Kahau about sixty, so
} thought they must have worked tt
, secure this number Of votes; don
, know whether | got kalua votes
/ counting men as they came in will
> runners, could tell how many vote.
, received from each locality; cOulC
[ tell from the actions, from being shy
of Kaulukou that they were voter
for me in regard to Kahau receiv
, ing S. from me, and this being list
2 ed as an expense, it comes from ig
a norance and misapprehension o
$ statute; first list was made out no
n knowing the proper method; ha'
: read that within ten days after cleo
/ ton, l must make report (showI
t two lists) these are my signatures)
4 did not appoint my lunas, or rathe
n Kailaa came to me and said such an
q such a man would be good rune
and suggested his appointment, an
l confirmed; Kailaa nominated tn
men, and l appointed them on hi
a nomination met many people whel
s electioneering, but afterwards Ka
G laa suggested the names of thos
d appointed; went and slept at Ka
l. hau's house.
J. e-direct-Don't know whetht
