stories of the Woman
and IoeIa.

A shooting affair took place on
Saturday night, between 8 and 10
O'Clock, at Kepohoni, below the Ka-
umakapili church, where d. Naval
| Namaiehua shot his wife, Hail,
and her alleged paramour, Ioela.
After arrest he was seen by a re-
porter of the ADVERTISER at the
station house yesterday morning,
where he made statement briefly
as follows:
Last Saturday night, at about 8
o'clock, after partaking of a glass
of gin with his friends in a house
on Queen street, he left, saying that
he was going to do something mys-
terious. He went straight to his
house, at the corner of King and
Alakea streets, in the rear of p. G.
Camarinos' fruit store. He found
his little adopted daughter alone
in the house. He asked where his
wife was and the little girl replied
that she did not know.
Naval then headed for Mr.. Geo.
Shaw's place, on Smiths lane. He
suspected that Mrs. G. e. Richard
son had taken his wife to Shaw's
house. On reaching the house he
went up the stairs and opened the
door. He saw two people lovingly
embracing each other, and he i'm
mediately recognized them to be
his wife, Hall, and Ioela, a native
hack driver. Naval at once fired
his 32-ealibre pistol, at his wife
first, and then turning, fred two
shots at Ioela.
Naval said there was no light in
the room and that all the people
belonging to the house were in an
adjoining room. After firing the
third shot, Ioela rose up and tried
to wrest the pistol from him. Dur
ing the struggle Naval fell in a poi
barrel and Ioela succeeded in Sc
curing his pistol.
Z Ioela then began to hammer Ma
waits head with the pistol. Naval,
finding himself unable to defend
himself, feigned to be dying and
groaned. Ioela left the room and
went down stairs. No one tried to
interfere between them, as people
were afraid of the pistol. Naval |
followed Iolela without being seen. |
He jumped over a rear fence and |
ran to Maunakea street, where he
found a hack and was driven to the |
police station. There he surren-
dered himself.
When Naval arrived at the sta
ton blood was flowing freely from
three deep cuts made on his fore
head by Ioela with the pistol. DR..
Day dressed his wounds. Nawai's
pants were thickly smeared with
poi.
Naval was married to Hail at
Waikiki, Maui, seven years ago.
He was charged with assault with
a deadly weapon, and was released
during the morning on $500 bail,
furnished by Messrs. Jno. Kaimi
and Keohokii.
