Nawahi recalled. 1t was on Sunday
that Wilcox told him that McAvoy
was a spy; he told Bush the game day;
knew that Van Giesen was spy; he
discovered that fact about May or June;
soon after he was satisfied that Van Gle
sen was a spy he informed Bush; Van
Giesen was not discharged at the time
by Bush but was about two months later;
he complained but once to Bush about
his policy OF waiting until the United
States acted; the dispute was over the
policy the witness was in favor OF wait
ing for the result OF the English commits
sion, while Bush wanted TO hear from
Washington; he had not told Bush dur
ing the last six months that they must
use force to overthrow the Government;
he had not talked to others about using
force; he left Bush's employ on account
of the dispute over the policy OF the ka
Leo; the English commission referred
to was composed of Judge Widemann
alone; the witness was president OF the
Hui Aloha Alma; Bush is second or third
vice-president of the same organization:
nothing was said about using the socie-
tvs funds for the purchase OF arms and
ammunition had no conversation with
Bush or Crick about buying arms from
Portuguese.
Mrs. Nawahi said that on the l4th OF
August, 1894, she was in Honolulu, at
Paiama; her husband was away on the
morning OF that day; he was at home in
the afternoon; she was certain OF this
because the birthdays of the children are
ALWAYS observed he was at home when
mealtime came around; Van G1esen

witness was not favorably impressed
with him and told her husband that she
did not wish the man to call again; she
had been tod that Van Giesen was
Government detective and so informed
her husband; she cautioned him sew
eral times; before the Republic was
proclaimed and since that time. An
