remember the dates on which these dis
cussions took place. About September
Sth he talked with Bush and Nawahi in
the presence of q number of natives and
half-castes. The gist of the meeting
was that each one should make prepara-
tions, and be in readiness for the up
rising.

After the witness read off the fore
going be took up the thread of the story
again and said, that while the map was
being discussed Bush and Nawahi were
both present. On October 25th he was
handed three rifles and 1856 rounds of
ammunition. The weapons were given
to him by Cr:ck who told him to care for
them until the time of the uprising
came At this time Crick told him that
their plans were all arranged and when
the day arrived there would be no
bitches. The insurgents were to be di-
yided into four classes, but the names OF
the commanders oi each division would
not be given out until the day of the up
rising. One squad was to be placed
around the Government building, and
from their position it wss expected that
they would be able to shoot down the
Governments forces; another squad
would be sent to Central Union Church !;
a third would be located at the hotel +;
another body would be stationed at the
Opera House, and still another at ka-
waiahao church. At the same time the
natives would assemble with arms and
guard the street corners about town, to
prevent anyone from going to the Execu-
tive Building. Smaller squads would be
detailed to guard the residences of the
people mentioned above. While all this
was going on, the electric wires would be
cut TO prevent communication, and TO
keep the city in da' kness.
Crick informed the witness that he
would captain one OF the squads, and
would be located at King and Llliha
streets. They expected, and were Ger
tain, that the native police force would
join them in body. The Schuetzen
Club, at this time. was divided into fac
tions, and, while they did not expect any
assistance from the members, it was un-
derstood that they would remain pas
sive. he American League was also
mentioned. The rebels did not expect
any assistance from them.
The witness then identified three guns
which were found at the place Jointly
occupied by himself and Crick. About
November 7tb, Crick handed him a
fourth rife along with some ammuni-
ton. He was told then that three more
were in the possession OF Bush, and that
Cummins had four, which would be
brought out to the house as soon as 1t
could be done with safety. Crick com
matter to get money with which to pur-
chase arms from Chinese and Portu-
guese. According to the witness, Crick
appeared to be the agent to make pur-
chases of arms and ammunition.
At another time, Bush and Nawahi
said that a hui, composed OF native
women, had s475, but they would not
give up the money for arms, preferring
to keep it for another purpose He was
informed that about 100 rifles were dis
tributed about town, and were in the
posses ssion OF members OF the royalist
party. The arms were centered at diff
ierent points to facilitate matters when
the squads commenced TO assemble.
The arms that Crick gave the witness
were placed in his bedroom, with the
understanding that they were to be de-
! livered when called for One evening
Crick came home excited, and stated
that he had received positive informa
ton that all suspected places were to be
