What R. W. Wilcox Says.

The fact of the dynamite sticks
having been found refreshed the
memories of several people;
amongst whom was R.W. Wilcox.
1t brought recollections of the
Illustration of an attempt at revo-
luton in the early part of 1892.
ID. l.. Huntsman, now deceased,
occupied himself in securing GER
tain chemicals for the purpose of
making dynamite sticks, while
Wagner, now detective, pat them
together. When Wilcox and
others were arrested, the dyua-
mite sticks were buried in (now
Capt. Klemme's yard, it was
supposed never to be resurrected.
Before they were buried A. Her
ring, now in prison, used to take
these sticks and experiment with
them on Punchbowl, blowing up
trees. Wagner was jubilant
of his success and used to boast
about being able to blow up the
whole town.-Daily Bulletin,
June, 1898.
r. W. Wilcox was seen con-
corning the above statement made
by him at the time and said that
it was correct statement. In
addition he said that upon one
occasion Wagner came to him and
said that there was large guam
tity of giant powder at Nuuanu
and asked him to help him to
steal it and he refused. That he
was told by several concerned in
the matter that afterwards por-
ton of the material was buried
in Klemme's yard and portion
was buried on PunchbowI.

that night and afterwards. Some
time afterwards | noticed that
klemme was getting rather shy
of me and l realized that | could
learn no more of his plans. /
then concluded to lay the whole
matter before Marshal Hitchcock.
As soon as he returned from
Hawaii | went to him and told
him all about it. / did not
90 into ali the details of our
work but | told him the plan in
general. Captain ". Larsen for
some reason suspected our game
and in making enquiries at the
drug store he found that Wagner
and his gang had at different
times been purchasing material
for explosives at several stores,
| told the Marshal that to my
knowledge Klemme and his
friends had stolen quite a lot OF
giant powder from the Pail road,
and that Klemme had told me
that it was buried in his yard on
Fort Street. The Marshal told
me that be knew it and made me
understand that he desired that
the whole affair be kept quiet
He then told me to prepare my
self to go to Maui where he
would give me an appointment as
Deputy Sheriff and he gave me
again to understand that / was
not to say anything about the
dynamite affair. [ made the
necessary preparations to leave
town, but when the time came
the Marshal refused to give me a
commission and sent another
man. Although aware of the
full history of this dynamite
scare which created such great
sensation, the Marshal has never
moved in the matter, but has
retained all the officers connected
with it on the force.
The plot against Spreckels and
Nordhoff S lives was abandoned
on my refusing to join klemme,
but after the dynamite episode
Klemme told me that he intend
ed to put a placard of threaten
ing nature on the gate of Claus
Spreckels, so as to scare him out
of the Islands. This / did in
company with him. The card is
we'll known here. The inscription
was: Gold and Silver won't stop
Lead. Beside this the cald was
ornamented with coffin, daggers,
bullets, and other fearful pictures.

AFFIDAVIT

OF Harry A. Juen in the
Matter Relating to the Dyna-
mite found on the McKibbin
Premises, near Miller Street
on the 3Ist day of May, 1893.
Hawaii holomua = Progress. [volume] (Honolulu) 1893-1895, 1893-12-13
Honolulu, Oahu, IS.

was police officer serving as
Captain of the Honolulu Police
under E. G. Hitchcock the Mar
shall. At this time / was
approached by Klemme, an officer
in the mounted police who made
a propos ton to NE to join him
in plot, the object of which
should be to blow UP with dyna-
mite the residences and persons
of the Queen, Colonel Claus
Spreckels aud Charles Nordbof.
klemme made me understand
that he belonged to a secret
organization which had the afore-
SAID purpose for its object. He
stated that he could net 1T the
time let me into the details of
their plans, but would keep me
posted as to the movements of
the organ eaton. he also made
me underst md that there was I.
big sum of money in it for the
men who would assist. | pre-
tended that | was wiling to JON
him, because | considered 1t
advisable t. get to the bottom of
the business. In answer to
question, he further stated that
there were good many men con-
nected with the plan, and that no
fear need be entertained as they
had big and influential backing.
He refused to give me the names
of any of the members of the
organization, but told me that
the dynamite was easily procured
in any quantity, as one Wagner,
also member of the police force,
could manufacture the necessary
explosives. When everything
was almost in readiness, as | was
told, l came out fiat-footed, and
refused to have anything to do
with such cowardly and
dastardly affair. Up to this time,
l had not got any deeper into
their plans and l had not
spoken to anybody about the
matter. As positively refused
to join them Klemme proposed
another scheme, the main feature
of which was as follows: We
would place the explosives, which
Wagner was to manufacture, in
the neighborhood of the Queens
place for the purpose of making
it appear as if an attempt was
made to blow up the barracks
across the way, and by accusing
the Royalists of being the
authors of the plot, create a
strong feeling against the Queen
and give the government suffi-
cient reason for transporting her
out of the country together, with
her principal friends and sup
porters. To this plan l agreed
and the work was done in the
following manner: Wagner pre-
pared the stuff at the house OF
Klemme and gave it to that
officer. On the night of May
31st. We were ready to move.
Wagner was ordered to remain
at home as his presence might
have created suspicious. Klein
me put the explosives in gunny-
sack and placed it. according to
his understanding with me, close
to Miller Street in the lot adjoin-
ing the Queens residence. Short
ly after 2 o'clock Klemme placed
officer Cortis Of the mounted

same time it was arranged that
| should leave my house at the
corner of Palace Walk and

duty. but really to be present on
the scene of our work and do my
part upon hearing two pistol
shots, the signal agreed upon be-
tween US. [ consequently start
ed down Beritania Street, and
when | was nearly outside
Central Union Church l heard
two shots fired on Miller street,
and some horses running. L
rushed up to Miller street and
stopped at the appointed place
whore two horses were standing;
their riders (klemme and Cortis)
being on a pretended chase
after the parties that had
dropped the bundle; the re-
port which we had agreed
Klemme should make to the
Marshal and which he did make
was as follows: About II O. clock,
|. Klemme, had been talking for
a few minutes with officer Cortis
on Beritania Street near Miller,
whereafter We parted Upon
passing sentinel of the govern
ment at the back entrance to the
barracks, l asked him if he had
not seen a suspicious person or
more lurking around on Miller
Street that night. The soldier
said he had not that night, but
at other times, Shortly after
saw two or three men walking
rapidly up Miller Street. [
followed them and noticed that
one of them carried a bundle
which he seemed to be very care
full of. [ called to them to stop
whereupon they started running.
By this time [ was pretty close
to them, and l noticed that they
were tall and looked like half
whites, one of them having a red
lei around his hat. They jumped
through the fence back of Nc
Kibben's place and ran towards
the Queens place. I fired at
at them twice, jumped off my
horse and chased them on foot.
l saw the man who carried the
bundle drop it, and runswith the
others. | thought all the time
that it was opium. Earlier in
the evening, 1 had seen

When l arrived at the place on
Miller Street 1 called out to
Klemme whom | knew was back
of McKibben's place, asking
what was the matter. He an
swered that he had chased two
fellows with opium and that they
had run towards the back entrance
to Washington Place. / jumped
over the fence and We three to-
gether with two young fellows.

house started looking for the
bundle which klemme stated had

l went to the place where l knew
the bundle was, and picked it
up pretending to be surprised

bundle when Klemme warned me
