derstandlng Of "work, as told TO the
Judge-Advocate, was to eight" The
order was given, as he says, by Clark
yet at o'clock he was In bed, asleep.
And asleep he staid until the arms
had disappeared again and he went on
guard, in the morning, unarmed. He
was asleep all night, the Kaksako
affair had happened during
the time, yet he boldly ac-
costs the accused with the news that
the ''work did not get on very favora-
bly," and, he says, she answered
"yes." The witness said, to Judge
Advocate, that by "work'' he referred
to revolution.
I believe, and 80 does the Court, I
when he stated, in answer to q ques-
ton by the Judge-Advocate, that, he
managed and planned the affair, to
overthrow the Government, without
any aid or assistance from the accus-
ed. He does not beat about the bush,
his answers are straight and, although
discriminating himself, he acknoWl.
edges the affair as his plan to restore
the monarchy and by force. His
story for the prosecution, as against
himself, should receive proper recog-
milton at the hands of the Court and
should weigh well in favor Of the
accused. The Waimanalo went out.
Nowlein sent her. The agents on
Nowlein's. The date set for the up
rising was January I'd. Nowlein
knew it. Thursday was made the
day for the venture, and, only then,
does Nowlein believe that the hour is
at hand for he gives orders to Clark
for the arming of men to guard the
residence and person OF the accused
while he, full Of his mission, maybe
believing that he may never again see
his beloved chief, visits her, on her
veranda, where she is sitting, sur.
rounded by other ladies.
At $3.50 O'Clock, on Sunday morn
chief, the manager and the planner,
as he testifies, of the revolution, in
order to be at hand when the move to
be made takes place leaves Washing
ton Place for Diamond Head, he bids
adieu to his chief and, although with
his mind full OF the hazard, leaves the
presence of the accused with lips still
sealed to her of the purport OF his
mission. ''Then / went off," he says,
and have not spoken to the queen
since leaving her on Sunday morning.
The cross-examination is clear and
honest renunciation of having given
any. information to the accused about
the rebellion or any intended plans or
movements.
Captain Kinney opened the argu-
ment late in the forenoon and had not
finished at the noon hour when q re-
cess was taken to o'clock. Captain
Kinney's remarks were as follows:
May it please the gentlemen of the
Commission The acts of treason
principally relied on, for there are
thirteen counts, are the procuring and
engaging of men for the purpose of
carrying out q conspiracy to over
throw the Government, and of pro-
curing of arms and ammunition for
the same purpose, and the partial
establishment and preparation Of q
government and q military force to
take the place of the government that
they intended to overthrow; all Of
which acts we contend are clearly acts
of treason as soon as committed, and
which we claim were within the
guilty knowledge of the accused.
Now, some matters are undisputed
and undisputable in this case. It cam
not be disputed that an uprising has
taken place. It is now practically q
matter Of history that after some long
months Of mutterings, agitation and
Indictment on the part of the press
and supporters of the late monarchy
the matter took an active and tangible
shape under the leadership of four
men-Mr. Gulick, Mr.. Seward, Mr..
Rickard and Nowlein; and those four
men procured the landing Of arms
tion, and enlisted or engaged men
to take part in the undertaking !;
that when the affair came off that
some 200 men we're there armed and
on the field with the intention Of
taking part with about 400 rifles, as
shown by the evidence, and bombs
and munitions of war gathered and
partially used in attempting to carry
out this purpose. It is also matter
undeniable that certain commissions,
some eleven in number, for the prin-
,cipal offices under monarchy, were
prepared and engrOssed, and q new
constitution, which fitted the uprising,
and which was to be used in case the
uprising was successful, was drawn
and engrossed together with q procla-
nation of martial law, proclamation
for citizens to assemble at the station
house and at the government build
ing, and q proclamation that it had
pleased Her Majesty to appoint to
certain offices. This is history. This
is not disputed by even the learned
counsel. But it is contended that
the accused was entirely unconscious
of all this that was transpiring,
and presents herself spotless and
Immaculate before this court with
the statement, so far as this
uprising, which the learned coun-
sci characterizes and dignifies by
the charge of an insurrection and a
riot, is concerned, that her hands are
clean, morally and legally, from any
connection with it. Says the accused
in her personal statement: '"Tbe
movement undertaken by the Ha-
waiians last month was absolutely
commenced without my knowledge,
sanction, consent or assistance, di-
rectly or indirectly, and this fact is in
truth we'll known to those who took
part in il. I received no information
from any one in regard to arms which
were or which were to be procured,
nor of any men who were induced, or
