ing found doors open inside which
should be shut, and IN some apart.
meuls state OF disorder that be-
spoke the recent visit OF an intruder.
\ telephone message brought M.
Henry Smith, Clerk OF the Supreme
Count, TO the building, his Office pre-
senung It condition of general upset
tedness. As all the chambers of the
Justices had also been visited, Chief
Justice Judd came down III response
TO message to see if any important
documents were missing. Nothing
OF value was, howes er, discovered to
have been taken from the Judiciary
Department. An iron cash box was
taken from a drawer in the desk of
Mr.. A. W. Garter, First Deputy
Clerk, hut the robber probably found
by shaking it that there was nothing
in it, so he left it on top of the desk.
The handle of one of the safes was
tried, with the effect of locking the
combination, as the key lock was all
that had been used tor some time.
One pair of scissors was taken from
the office. The desk of Mr.. }. w.
Jones, stenographer, bore the marks
of an instrument without having
been opened. Closets for stationery
were opened with keys found, and
Mr.. Smiths bunch Of keys was scat
tered about. Matches were strewed
about the floor, showing how the
deeds of darkness were illuminated.
Cigarette stumps evnced the solace
taken by the marauder in anticipa-
ton of remorse on any sudden inter-
ruption of his bold but bungling
career. The audacious scamp left
gruesome relic of his visit on the
Clerk desk in the form of package
of " Rough on Rats.
Attempts were made to open the
veranda door of the Attorney-Gen-
erals Department on the second
story, and to open the doors of that
and the Foreign Department from
corridors inside. Two pairs of scis-
,ors and a screw-driver belonging to
typewriter were found on the desk
Of the Foreign Office messenger in
the corridor, and the desk had been
forced open without yielding any
booty.
1t is supposed that entrance was
gained to the interior of the building
through a window of the office of the
Registrar of Finance, on the rear
yeranda facing Queen street. Be-
yond the pulling open of some cabi-
net drawers, the burglar did nothing
out of place in the Treasury. He
went through narrow passage from
the main corridors to the book room
Of the Education Office, from whence
he climbed over twelve-foo high
! artition into the main office. The
marks of bare foot, with very
wide spread OF toes, are LETT ON each
side of the partition, also on the
floor inside and outside. This is APP
parently the only place where the
robber got any reward for all his
trouble. He gouged open the lock
of George Shaw the book clerks
desk, and took from inside two
dollars in small change and heavy
gold ring. At this stage he had
another smoke. He left a box of
safety matches, having INDUCED in
candle light. A candle evidently
used by him was found carefully
restored to a package of candles in
drawer under the counter.
The Office of the Governor of
Oahu, adjoining the Education Office,
was also visited, the intruder's trade
mark being left as souvenir.
