The accused desired that Paul

Sam Nowlein was the first witness
sworn. His evidence was the same
as in the previous cases. He testi-
fed to having conspired against the
OF the steamer Waimanalo off port
to assist in landing the arms which
were later used in the conflict with
the Government forces.
Captain VIM. Davies, sworn, states:
Know the accused; he was mate with
me on the steamer Waimanalo on
Dec. 81; Richard engaged me to 60
to sea on that day for the purpose OF
landing arms; did not inform the &C.
cused what the object of the mission
was; went TO Kaneohe first on that
day aud later went to sea to meet
the schooner; met the schooner
about five miles off Makapuu Point;
two boatloads were required to
transfer the arms from thu schooner
to the steamer; Townsend, the &C.
cused and Hutchinson rowed the
boat; the guns were at Diamond
Head; before landing the arms the
men practised with the guns at sea,
shooting at pieces of driftwood; the
accused himself practised with a
gun; he Understood what the guns
were to be landed for.
Charles Warren, sworn, states:
Went out to meet foreign schooner
to assist in landing arms; saw accus.
ed on board the steamer Waimanalo
after coming off the schooner; the
accused saw the guns and asked
what they were to be used for; | d d
not tell him; the accused told mo
he only went on the Waimanalo
as a sailor and had no idea where
they were going till they met the
schooner and saw the arms; the ac-
cused was given rifle and a cart
ridge belt on the steamer, and was
asked il he would take hand in the
fight when the guns were landed;
he said yes; the gun was later taken
ashore with the rest.
Cross-examination-I told the &C.
cused that the guns were to be used
against the Government; told him
because he did not appear to know
what the guns were to be used for;
the conversation occurred on New
Years day; heard Captain Davies
ask the accused il he would help in
case there was an attempt to seize
the steamer, and he said he would.
George Townsend, sworn, states:
Was employed by Sam Nowlein to
go out on the steamer Waimanalo
on the Friday before New Years to
meet foreign schooner; met the
schooner on New Years day; the ac-
cused was mate on the steamer; he
was very quiet during the trip;
never discussed with him about the
use OF the guns; talked with others
in his presence about what use the
guns were to be put to.
Cross-eXamination-Did not point
a revolver at the accused and order
him into the boat when we met the
schooner; he jumped in Of his own
free will; don't think the accused
understood half of what was said
during conversations on the steam
or; most OF these were carried on in
Hawaiian.
w. o. Smith, sworn, states: The
Government knew nothing Of the
landing of arms until late Sunday
evening, Jan. 6.
A. Knudsen, sworn, states: Was on
board the steamer Waimanalo when
she went of to get the arms; met
the schooner and assisted in landing
the guns on board the steamer

missionary guns" never conversed

the overthrow OF the Government
heard them talking about the guns
