not discussed between witness anC
Brodie; could not recollect anything
in regard to training native girls
"for the present they have knocked
me out, "had perhaps some referenc,
to Brodie's sty le of writing, does no
refer to native girls; high kickers il
other letter was not reference to my

years old; he occasionally learned q
little to help; sometimes he, some
times /, opened store in morning
he resided with me at time of disso
luton, resided not longer than two
months; found out HASTE was a bad
man and gambler three or four
months after he came; did not find
out his character till after he was
admitted into my house; tried to
find easiest way to get him out; l
emphatically did not state about
goods to Turner, never gave him
such explanation,
Davidson questions the witness
The effect of connection with this
operate business was ruinous to
me, prevented me from going out in
the world as an honest man, injured
me with patrons; was sure posi-
lively, that every item / possesd in
my store was stated in my list given
to Atherton, was at Kohala during
election 1887, / voted Reform ticket.
Mr.. Burgess on the stand-Was
in Honolulu 1884; knew Crowley;
plaintiff rented building from me,
could not say if he had a partner;
know Atherton; as personal of
goods told Atherton, could not recol-
lect If told him before or after the
second lot was found; did not tell
Atherton that Crowley had conceal
ed goods.
Mr.. David Dayton = Lived in
Honolulu 1884, knew Crowley to be
engaged in upholstering business;
his shop was on King street, I lived
on Liliha street; Crowley's house
opposite house of prostitution that
was prosecuted; heard no rumors
about Crowley till trouble COM
menced about assignment of goods
in 1884. Knew Hastie; 1 knew of
goods concealed; at time was deputy
marshal. sent officer, did not see
goods; I told officers and Mehrtens
about goods; think Atherton told or
me to see about the
goods; could not tell whether goods
were found after assignment, but
from circumstances would Judge the
goods were found after assignment
was made.
Mr.. Levey-Was in Honolulu in
1884, know Crowley and HASTE,
they were partners; knew Crowley
before partnership, considered Crow
ley's standing good; his dealings
with me were perfectly satisfactory
knew HASTE we'll, did not sell goods
for him; found goods brought in by
Hastie to have, been stolen; Hastie
was employed by Dillingham;; he
brought in one day one dozen extra
quality razors; doubted their being
his property; inquired and found
goods were Dillingham's; saw re-
port that HASTE went away without
passport, was brought back; know no.
thing about rumors about Crowley
selling out Mechanics Union; know
about Crowley organizing a
hula company except what / read in
Crowley again took stand-No
suits brought before assignment;
brought afterwards; suits were en-
to Hatch's Office signed
papers voluntary. Creditors did not
put accounts in collectors hands;
no suit pending in Police Court.
Summing up = Hatch---thought
evidence on one side. AS long as
man choose to attend his own pri-
vate business, no one has any right
to bring him before public opin-
ion; law SO protects as to draw
8 cloak even over crime, excuse
existed in this case. When man
sets himself up as public teacher, etc
putting himself in a position to be
exposed, the public press should
show the career. That was origin of
controversy. By circumstances the
was justified in showing
him up. No paper has right to say
untrue, am satisfied the
paper told the truth. Mr. Crowley
lost his character when he hid those
lost his character when
he attempteo to organize troupe of
hula girls. You heard the evidence
Of Mr.. Anterior; also of Mr.. Crowley
in reference to the goods under bed
it remains for you to judge between
them. Crowley was upholsterer,
Hastie was not; what could HASTE
do with the trimmings? That has
certainly great bearing upon the
question. fuckers evidence showed
that Crowley stated, ooh! There
were some odds and ends sewed up"
Mr.. Atherton's evidence showed the
concealed goods to be OF great value;
didn't think Crowley made assign
ment simply to get rid of HASTE. 1t
was abundantly proved that Crowley
was liable; Crowley tries to escape
being liable by throwing blame on
Hastie. He cannot escape entertain
ing same opinion as Anterior and
others in regard to Crowley's connec-
tions with hiding the goods. In re-
gard to organizing troupes, he speaks
in his letter of his own troupe or
company having hold of the right
material, getting some high
kicker and a shemale; was getting
