On the day after Mr.. Camilus Gregory

whose death was given IN our last issue.

jury o: twelve men and commenced an in

They would have summoned others, bu,
they could not get the name of any other
person who knew anything about the case
Some Of the marshals appeared in answer
to the summons, and were proceeding to
testify when they were stopped by their
counsel, OH the ground that they could not
be compelled to testify in the case, mas
much as they had been accused OF killing
Gregory. one of the marsnaIs told tho
whole story Of tho trouble and the fight
before counsel appeared. On objection TO

In this issue we give the material ficts
about the inquest concerniug the dea'h of
Mr.. Camillus Gregory. A great deal has
said of this case, aud we thought it would
be we'll to give the whole of the testimony.
we think we have given the substance 0f 1t.
Before, and indeed during, the inquest
there was something that we could not an
derstand and that was how it happened that
Gregory was shot in the back every time.
AS we were sceptcil on that point and so
expressed ourselves, we now it our
duly to Say that in the light ofSll the testi-
mony, and after examining the g. round and
places where the bullets struck, we do not
see how he could have been struck any
where else, if he were firing at Mr.. CulP,
and the policemen firing at him.
1t seems that there has been good deal
Of feeling exercised over the matter, and it
has given rise TO expressions, hasty and un-
wise, and no doubt regretted now. great
many have condemned the police-iheir con-
duct will be investigated by compcten,
court iu due time, and if thay were hasty
the fact will be brought out at tho triai.
Some have severely criticised the Council aud
Mayor. In the name ofcommon justice we
enter our protest and ask our people % find
out the facts and consider before they lay
| the death of this man 10 the account of inno-
cent and well meaning persons. The Coun-
| Gil knew nothing whatever of the matter
aud had nothing to do with any oft.
| AS TO the Mayer, we have taken the
trouble to find out the following facts, which
show that he was guilty of no neglect, and
that he acted q, any of us would have acted
under similar circumstances.
! Mr.. Gregory was put in Jail Monday oven
| ing for being drunk. Now the Mayor has
q custom, MT absolute, that when man is
put in Jail drunk in the evening" he is not
let out until LeHt morning. This is to allow
| him to get sober We wish now that the
rule had been adhered to. So does the
| Mayor. But about clock Mr.. Milton
| McNeace went to Mr.. Fant and asked for
the release of Mr., Gregory. Mr.. FAINT re-
fused at first. Finally, however, after much
| persuasion, as special favor, he agreed to
let Mr.. Gregory out on condition that he
should 60 home at once.
| That was all the Mayor had to do with it.
The Mayor did receive note about an hour
after Gregory was out, III which the author
stated that ho thought the policemen must
be drunk. But this WAS about another mat
ter entirely, and the author Of the note says
he would have let Mr.. Gregory out just as
MIR. FAINT did, under similar circumstances.
If any one has done wrong in this whole
matter it should be Investigated, but not in
anger. Let us be calm, discreet, and
| judicious in our thoughts aud expressions.
| Light may be thrown on darkness, and Il
knowledge of facts gained by investigation,
| bat hasty words sometimes cause injuries
and heartsores that can never be healed,
even though they may be shown to be un'
| lust.

Narrow Escape.

While some Portuguese work
men were hosting corrugated iron
to the top of the Y. M. 9. A.
building yesterday, the man
holding the guiding rope did not
handle it properly. In conse-
quence a sheet of iron took of
two or three bricks of the cornice.
VIM. Heating, bricklayer, was
working at the base of the bull
ding besides the laboreis engaged
in hosting. The bricks came
down amongst them with terrific
force, Keatiug's arm beingIgrazed
with one. Had a brick struck a
man on the hoad, thore would
have been u subject for coroner's
inquest. Heating made few re-
marks, naturally, such as might
not be suitable from the platform
inside of the building.

EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Wreck and Ruin by a
Horse in a Hotel.

A horse belo ging to g Sterling
the painter ran away with a
brake from Union street yester-
day. 1t took the lane leading to
the Arlington Hotel, but instead
Of keeping the road around the
house the horse went straight
through the house. After wreck
ing a door and other light wood :
work in the rear, the brake now
wreck itself knocked out the
newell post and rails of the main
airs. Leaving the smashed
vehicle behind the horse sprang
over the veranda railing in the
front of the house and escaped
through ono of the front gates on
King street. 1t is wonder the
frantic beast did not try to go
through the stone wall instead Of
the gate: 1t is the same horse as
ran over M. Niep the express
man, injuring him seriously, the
other day. Such horse should
be devoted to the bone yard
without delay. 1t costs its owner
much more than it is worth, and
has several times nearly caused
loss of human life. Thomas
Krouse, proprietor of the Airing
ton, and a boy had narrow
escapes from being badly hurt, if
not killed. by the horses mad
career through the hotel.

Booming.

That there is no necessity for
Honolulu's good people to send
to San Francisco for "cheap"
goods, or patronize the Japanese
and Chinese stores, was demon
strated yesterday at Warehouses;
clearance sale, at the Quee street
store. The store was packed
from morning till evening, and
the fortunate purchasers made
many desirable bargain. The
excellent goods for which Water
houses store is famous in Hawaii
were sold at prices difficult to
imagine except in dreams. The
goods were cleared out, the cash
rolled in and the merry sale goes
on to-day.

Thrown From His Horse.

A number of Philadelphia
sailors were whooping it up
yesterday evening and of course
got on horseback. galoping
through streets and roads. One
man was thrown opposite George
Beckley' s residence on King Street
and received serious injuries. He
was takeu to the police station,
and the doctor of the Philadelphia
was sent for to examine him. The
doctor pronounced the man out OF
danger and more drunk than
hurt. He will be released this
morning. 1t shows good sense on
the part of the officers on duty to
send Tor the ships doctor. "Back
ak" is thereby prevented.
