A shooting affair took place on
Saturday night, between 8 and 1O
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 a statement briefly
as follows:
Last Saturday night, at about 8
o'clock, after partaking of glass
of gin with his friends in 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
mediatrly recognized them to be
his wife, Hail, and Ioela, a native
hack dr;cer. Naval at once fired
his 80 calibre pistol, at his wife
first, and then turning, fired two
shots at Ioela.
Naval said there was 10 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 poi
barrel and Ioela succeeded in Sc
curing his pistol.
Ioela then began to hammer Ma
walls 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 ne
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. DIR.
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.
Ioela's friends were greatly sur
prised to see him out driving his
hack, No 50, early yesterday
morning. He showed his wound
to the ADVERTISER reporter. The
ball passed through thick coat
and lodged in the flesh near the
right shoulder blade. His story is
as follows:
At about 8 o'clock last Saturday
night, they were eating at Geo.
Shaw's place on Smiths lane.
There were present besides him
self, Mrs. G.. E. Richardson, Mrs.
Naval, Namaielua and three
others. Naval entered the room
and fired a shot at Hail, his wife.
Naval next fired two shots at him,
one missing, and one struck him
near the right shoulder blade. He
jumped up and caught Naval by
the arms. While they were strug-
Cling, all the people left the room.
He and Naval fell upon the poi
calabashes and plates of fish. He
knocked Naval down and took |
away the pistol, and than went |
down without hurting Naval at all.
Mrs. Naval was shot through |
the mouth, the ball passing out |
the right cheek and penetrated the
right shoulder. She was seen at |
the Queens hospital yesterday |
and her story is as fol-
lows
Her husband Naval found her
and several others eating at a
house on Smiths lane. She saw
her husband coming, and was
about to call him to come and eat
when he fired his first shot at her.
She ran down stairs and then be-
came unconscious. She did not
know when DR.. Day extracted the
