LAHAINA GOSSIP.
Last week native cases held the at
tention of the Court, but this week
foreigners and their legal troubles
have taken up the time Of the Chief
Justice and the jury.
During the regnum of the Hawai-
ian jurors it seemed a popular fad to
acquit, and so Monday, the 18th inst,
the foreign jury fell into line and
dismissed the charge of larceny
against Apo of Kipahulu.
During Tuesdau the court in banco
meditated upon appeals from points
of law and Attorney Jno. Kalama
was fortunate enough to gain a fav-
orable decision in all four of them.
On Wednesday the eloquence of Paul
Neumann, Esq, so influenced the
jury that sentence for murder in
the second degree was given in the
case of the Wa1hee Japanese, when
perhaps otherwise it would have
meant hanging.
The jury term probably came to an
end either Thursday night or Friday
morning, for the Waimanalo left Ka-
hului during the latter day for Lag
haina, intending to transport foreign
jurors and others to Maalaea Bay.
The white jurors, witnesses, ETC.,
were quartered about the town In
different houses, though quite mum
Der of them were Hospitality cared
for as usual at Pikau's. During the
past two weeks the town has been
painted red on several occasions, the
artistic talent employed being both
native and foreign.
During the evening of the 9Th
inst. the Lahainaluna boys gave a
concert at Wainee Church. Their
fine singing was enjoyed by quite a
large audience, among which were
noted the Chief Justice, Deputy At
torney- General Wilder, Sheriff Hay
selden and many others.
