Hearing Next Monday-Facts
of the Case.
Four men are behind the bars in
the Station house and two are out
on bonds charged variously from
treason down to the possession of
fire arms with seditious intent. For
ten days or more the movements of
certain parties have been subjected
to very close scrutiny. Though
without their knowledge they have
been under careful surveillance.
Senior Capt. Robert Parker has had
the case in hand. Saturday after
noon it was thought meet to bag
the game. The ringleaders were
arrested and their. premises search
ed. The results are interesting.
BUSH AND CRICK.
John E. Bush and E. c. Crick
both of Ka Leo were arrested first.
At 6 o'clock Saturday evening
Captain Hookana, David KAPPA
and four policemen entered Bush's
promises on Printers Lane. Bush,
Crick, and Joseph Nawahi were
found there. When the officers
began to search the house Crick
started into sing Tara ra-boom-
de-aye." He didn't sing it long.
The tune soon changed.
While examining the walls a
scratched place on the paint was
noticed. The board was quickly
ripped off, and lol-there were sew
ell rifles carefully concealed on the
inside. Above the door a belt of
cartridges was found.
SEVEN RIFLES.
One gun was an N. G. H. rifle
which had been sent from the
Station house by Marshal Hitch
cock as a decoy. The other pieces
were nearly all sporting rifles. One
repeating Winchester was fully
loaded.
Bush is half-caste who has been
relentless enemy of the Republic.
He was at one time big man
under the monarchy, but quarreled
with Liliuokalani and until very
recently abused her bitterly on
every occasion. He was at one
time an annexationist.
Chas. L. Crick is a professional
revolutionist. This is his second
arrest for conspiracy. He is a
chemist and sugar boiler. Crick
claims to be British subject.
Mr.. Bush declared that there
were no firearms about the place.
After the seizure he gave it as his
modest opinion that someone had
put the guns in the wall. The
officers fully agreed with him and
Messrs. Bush and Crick were ar.
rested. At the station house theil
warrants were carefully re-read to
them. The charge was treason
They were locked in separate cells
Bondsmen for Bush soon arrived
They were told that bail for treason
would not be accepted.
ENEMY's PLANS.
Reports by the police are to the
effect that an uprising was seized
uled for Saturday night. TIL,
capture of the Executive building
was not to be undertaken unit
very late. President Dole and hi
Cabinet Ministers were to be takei
prisoners. At the same time tn,
insurgents were to take possession
of the Police Station. They wer
to prevent the assembling Of tn
Citizens Guard. Soldiers woul,
be sent from the Executive build
ing. Then the headquarters woul
be stormed and the ex-Queen tr
umphantly restored.
Two hours later there woul
have been quite a crowd at Bush
place. Hundreds of the Republic
supporters wanted Marshal Hitch
cock to let the movement come to
head. That official responds tina
, it is his business to nip these lii
tie affairs in the bud.
