yesterday court room up
stairs where the preliminary examina-
ton of CaecaereS was to take place.
The seats reserved for the public were
well filled and everyone present was
more than anxious to get glimpse of
the man who is charged with murder
ing one officer and seriously wound
ing another. They were disappointed,
however, as the cook was not in the
prisoners dock, but he was brought
up later, after several minor cases
were disposed of.
Caecaeres entered the courtroom
leaning on the arm of an officer. He
is still weak from the effects of the
blows on his head which he received
the night he assaulted the officers. He
was attired in a black suit and wore
handkerchief about his head. He is
IA Chilean by birth, and has not a par
ticularly prepossessing appearance.
He took a seat by the side of his coun-
sci, ]. a. Magoon. His wife was also
present.
Deputy Marshal Brown read the
charge, which was listenened to very
attentively by the prisoner. 1t charged
Caecaeres with murder in the first
degree.
The first witness for the prosecution
was Herman KaOuli, the officer who
was wounded. He told his story in
straightforward manner, saying that
on the 18th of February last China
man came to his home and told him
that the defendant would come ashore
with some opium. kauhane was
present at the time. Shortly after the
Chinese called, ne and kauhane
walked as far as the Fish Market and
then as far as the room occupied by
the informer. At 6:45 o'clock all three
returned to the Market, where the
Chinaman told them to remain until.
the defendant came ashore. They
waited until 7:15 o'clock, and then
moved to Sorenson & Lyle's shop.
They remained at the latter place
until 7:3O. The informer returned and
told them that the time had expired,
as 7:30 o'clock was named as the hour
that the cook would come ashore. At
the request of the Chlnaman, the wit
ness went to the informer's room TO
see whether the man was there or not.
He went to the room and asked his
wife if a white man had been there,
and received a negative reply. He
returned to the corner OF Maunakea
and King streets, where he met his
two companions. About two minutes
later the Chinaman saw the de-
PENDANT approaching on the Wal
kiki side of Maunakea street.
The Chinaman walked away
and the officers waited until the cook
crossed the street, and then kauhane
told witness to make the arrest. kao-
uIi made a Jump and seized Caecaeres
by both hands from the back, and
Kauhane then cried out to "hold him
fast.D Kauhane then threw the wit
ness to one side, and then a struggle
commenced between defendant and
the officer. Witness was told to Jump
in and seize the prisoner again, which
he did, and before long all three fell
down. After a struggle lasting Few
moments, Kaouli got up and found
that his leg was bleeding, and he cried
out that he was cut; moment later
Kauhane said that he was wounded
also and that the defendant had
knife. The weapon was afterwaru
handed to him by kauhane. lt was
taken from the defendants left hand.
He took the knife and handed IL 10
a girl who was standing by. kau-
hane told him to hit Caecaeres, which
he did with a pistol While he was
striking him on the forehead the pis-
tol was accidentally discharged Inc
witness testified that he was cautioned
by Kauhane not to shoot the man.
