WHAT MARSHAL HITCHCOCK SAYS
A Sore Head Who Was Dismissed In
Disgrace and n Month Ago
Begged For a Position

with the people, too. I've neve

like some others have. Nevertheless
that seems to cut no figure; for today

This is not one case of the sort, but

square, and as long as the Govern
ment sees fit to pursue this course
they will probably succeed in making
! good Royalists out of Annexationists.
| There are few good men who have
| repeatedly lifted up their voices about
| these things, but it is cried down by
others and by Government officials,
too. 1t is a pity there aren't more men
in the Advisory Council like Emmel-
nth, Waterhouse and few others of
their kind. Surely, these things can
not always remain. Yours, etc,
H. a. JUEN.
The above letter was printed in
the Star of November 22d. Anyone
reading it would think Mr.. H. A.
Juen a most abused man, who was
probably the best annexationist in
Honolulu, and that his plaintive
cry for work would move the most
stony heart to pity.
In yesterdays edition of the ex-
queens organ, the Holomua, this
same mistreated annexationist,
Juen, came out with a long aft
davit to the effect that, on the night
of May 31st, he was in plot with
other members of the police force,
Of which he was then a member,
the object of which was to blow up
the residences of the ex-queen,
Claus Spreckels and Nordhof, the
correspondent of the New York
Herald.
Marshal Hitchcock was seen last
evening in regard to Juen's state
ment. He was in no way mild in
his remarks on the subject, and
said, substantially, what follows.
"Juen is a man in whom no one
who knows him has the slightest
eitherin his truth or hon
esty. He was dismissed from the
police force while l was on Hawaii
last summer, for extorting money
from a japanese. When | return
ed, l investigated the case, and |
found that he had not only de-
served dismissal, but had laid him
self open to arrest and imprison,
ment for accepting $40 from a
Japanese, which he had taken
with the agreement not to arrest
the japanese for some offense.
at was only on account of this
man Juen's wife that I did not
prosecute the case. She was in
;he last stages of consumption, and,
it was commonly re-
ported that he shamefully neg
ected her, yet I did not like to
brow her and her little children
IN the world with no possible
means of support. Juen confessed
o me afterwards, that he had ex-
orted the money from the Jap
lnese, and [ let him off on condi-
ion that he return the money.
Captain Larsen, of the detective
orce, then gave him some work,
'ut he was soon up to his old
ricks again, and had to be dis
missed entirely from the service.
"This is the basis of his So
allied 'afidavits.' When he saws
hat 1 promised him a position as
Deputy Sheriff on Maui, he lies.
hat is the only expression that
ill fit his case. He lies, and he
nows it. He did come to me,
ome time after he had been dis
Kissed from the police force in
isgrace, and tell me a rambling
5ory of his having been in some
dot with Klemme and one or
vo others. I investigated the
latter, and came to the conclu-
on that what he had told
lie was false, and was only
I'D for the purpose of getting
ack on the force. But in that he
lied. I have every reason to be-
eve that this man Juen is not
1ly unreliable as an officer, but
so as a man. / know of several
lstances while he was a captain of
lie police where he tried to make
her officers, who were under his
lthority, to do things that would
It them into trouble. In one or
70 cases he succeeded, and was =
e means of having a few men re-
owed before he was found out
e has a very poor reputation as a
liable man in the opinion of I
in the police department. :
This affidavit is made simply
cause Juen has got very sore =
lad. He knows that he is ire
ievably ruined in the opinion of
ost decent men in Honolulu, and !
, now thinks he will try long !.
