I
Kohala myself; procured them from
Mr.. Wallace on an order from Mr..
L. Rain Walker.
Cross-examined - Brought nc
books; my instructions were to bring
books if there were any to make
against Mr.. Crowley; there were no
books; he only kept memoranda ;
they say up there
Mr.. Davidson-Never mind what
they say up there.
l.. A. Thurston, sworn: Knew
Crowley by sight prior to difficulty
with HASTE; was acting for Mrs.
HASTE in suit against Mr. Atherton
to recover magic lantern she claim
ed as hers HASTE told me the arti-
cles were sewed up, for use if the
firm began the upholstery business
again.
Mr.. Davidson objects that the
evidence is hearsay.
Mr.. Hatch replies that it is adms-
sible as an admission from a CO. CON
spirator.
Mr. Davidson holds that con-
spiracy between Crowley and Hastie
had not been established.
The Court would admit the argu-
ment of defendant if it was a trial
for conspiracy, but in this case the
evidence should be considered as
hearsay because it was not shown
that Crowley was present when HASTE
made the admission.
Defendant notes an exception to
the ruling.
Witness Crowley was taking an
active part IN the election early last
year. as member Of the Mechanics
Union and editor of The English por-
ton of Ka Leo, Mr.. Bush's paper;
know these things Of my own know
ledge; Crowley was an agent OF the
Union and Hui Kalaiana to prevent
abuses in registration he acknow-
ledged authorship of certain articles
on qualifications of voters 70 Mobiles;
he came to me as Minister of the
Interior on this subject; have had
several other interviews with hi,n;
once was when the Mechanics Union
and Hui kalaaina were negotiating
junction; he spoke in terms cOmpli-
mentary to myself, saying he wished
me to hold my position, and that this
was the sentiment Of other members
of the Union; he asked my views as
to the proposal to elect public officers,
and that to reduction Of qualification
of voters for Mobiles; | expressed
myself strongly against both pro-
pOsals, and he agreed with my opin-
ions he offered to write articles on
the subject, but that he could not
afford to do it without pay he agreed
TO compile articles on the Australian
fran chiee, and alterward claimed to
have written series Of ARTICLES in
the BULLETIN he lookct-bfauk when

ged when | paid him $40 or S25; he
told me later that il was for the in
terest of the Reform Party TO pre-.
vent union between the Mechanics
Union and the Hui Kalaaiua, aud he
thought he could do it; aftyr he beat
about the bush for while, | asked
him what it was he wanted. and he
said thousand dollars Was about
the right figure; | me. joned the

o. Smith, who would not entertain
the idea; afterward met Crowley

organization.
