liam Widdifield did not desire coun-
| seI: Kauai, Abraham, Poole, Palau,
Kiiiona and Clark wished Antoine
Rosa to act for them; Kalaukoa ana

IoeIa asked for Paul Neumann.
Mr.. Marx and Luther WILCOX were
sworn in as reporter and interpreter,
respectively. l..
Mr.. Rosa appearing as counsel In TINS
or any other case that might come be-
fore the Commission. When the Wal
manalo went out for arms the ex-
queen had signed q commission Tor
Rosa as one of the Associate Justices
under the new government. THIS was
known to and accepted by Rosa pc
fore the steamer departed to get arms
for the rebels. Mr.. Rosa was not
under arrest, but in view of the sus-
picions against him it was somewhat
surprising to see him present.
The Court cleared for consultation
and in a few moments returned an
nouncing that Mr.. Rosa would be per-
mitted to act as counsel In the case:
The attorneys named by the de-
PENDANTS had no objection to acting
t for them, but in order to do so intellI-
1 gently it would require some little
r time for consultation. Whatever time
was allowed they thought would facl-
3 litate the course of the trial ana hkeIy
Y shorten the proceedings considerably;
9 At2 Is q short recess was ordered
d Tn give attorneys TOR the defense time
d to consult with the prisoners.
r This occupied nearly one hour. On
e reassembling the charge and specin-
r cations against the prisoners were
g read and interpreted, and each
d one called upon to plead. Lot Lane
u and VIM. Widdifield pleaded guilty
, without reserve; the other prisoners
n said they done what they were charg-
l. ed with, but were forced into it. The
ID Court ordered pleas Of not guilty en-
l. tered against these persons.
" Counsel Rosa gave notice that he
y would file written objection TO the
1t Jurisdiction of the Court.
)r J, w. Bipikane after consultation
ID with friends and relatives desired to
1t be represented by counsel, and named
Attorney Rosa.
None of the prisoners objected to
ut the personnel of the Court.
n Judge Colonel Whiting announced
I'd that objections to the jurisdiction OF the
e Court by defendants could be mace a.
Id any time during the progress OF trial.
