unlawfully in possession. J. L. Osmer
was arrested yesterday on the same
charge. The last two are out on bail.
In the alleged conspirators case bail
was refused by the Government, and
their attorney, G. w. Ashford, was so
notified.
Bush and Crick were arrested at
Printers lane. Nawahi called at the
station to see them when he was
locked up also. Weed was found on
Hotel street about midnight by Cap
tain sParker. Klemme was taken
from the Merchants Exchange where
he is employed as barkeeper.
After Bush and Crick were placed
under arrest, the house of the former
was searched and seven guns were
found. Nawahi's place was searched
also but no arms or ammunition were
secured.
The arrests are the outcome of
many reports of royalist uprisings. 1t
is claimed that the Government has
enough evidence in it's possession to
convict Bush, Crick and probably
Nawahi. 1t is alleged that Weed is
an accessory and will be convicted as
such. He is charged with distrihut-
ing rifles about town, just how many,
the Marshal could not say. In
Klemme's case, it is alleged that he
has purchased four guns within a
three; the fourth one was found in
the saloon. The law under which he
and Osmer were arrested provides no
penalty so both men will have to be
discharged. Their rifles will be con-
| fiscated.
The four alleged conspirators are
locked up in separate cells to prevent
conversation between them.
1t was stated yesterday around the
police station that Crick took his
arrest very much to heart, and it was
possible that he might turn on his
companions and give evidence for the
| the Bush premises they say that
Crick was outside ON sentry duty, and
according to their story he had a
loaded cartridge belt around his waist.
In regard to the statement about the
| belt Marshal Hitchcock says it is not
a fact. He is also charged with pur-
chasing a rifle from policeman, pay
ing for it with check that called for
$12. 1t is said that the check was
turned over to the Marshal who now
holds it as evidence. Just what evil
dence the police have against Bush
and Nawahi cannot be learned at
present, but in the formers case it is
said to be of a convincing character.
Bush has been dissatisfied with the
present Government, as he was with
the monarchy that preceded it. He
was member Of the last legislature
and never allowed an opportunity to
roast ex- Marshal Wilson and the ex-
queen pass by. Since the revolution
he has been running a small sheet
printed III English. 1t has been bitter
at times but the editor managed to
keep inside of the bounds marked off
by the laws relating to libel.
His papers, both English and ma
tive, have been circulating stories
constantly about restoration. He in
forms the natives about every other
day that he has received news of a
private nature that assures him that
the ex-queen is going back. But she
doesn't go, and as "A result his readers
have lost confidence in him and his
stories.
Nawahi was also a member of the
legislature and for u few hours one
day was a Cabinet officer. He is con-
sidered Il little bit of a demagoge in
his way. He is a LAWYER.
The arrest OH Saturday night is the
second one for Crirk on the same
charge. He WAS connected with the
Walker Sinclair alleged conspiracy,
but was acquitted by Chali-s l.. Car
ter, who was acting as police judge at
the time. Walker and Sine air were
committed for trial, but were after
ward discharged by jury. Crick is
a chemist by profession, aud is con-
sidered u very Intelligent mau. He
has worked on plantations, but tor
some time he has lived with Bush.
1t is said that he furnished most of
the material for the English edition of
Ka Leo.
Weed is employed by w. F. Rey-
