Rickard assisted generally. Nowlien was

on the afternoon of the 22d third
trial was commenced of Y natives and
half white prisoners captured from ---e
field. Among them were Lot Lane, Blp-
kiane. Thomas Poole who had boasted Of
shooting Carter, and Kaauha, a former
student at Hampton teaching tailoring at
the Kamehaineha school. This trial con-
tinued that evening and the following
morning. A point Of interest developed
was the forsaking by many natives of the
qathering at Waialae because no white
men had come out to lead them. The
leader. Bipkiane, or Bull was not seen
fghtine. He was only seen running away.
This noisy ex-legislator himself testified,
rscl,lessly swearing that he had not
fought against the government. His dra-
roatic and roaring elocution caused much
amusement in court.
Later on the 22d, the ex-queen in her
chamber of Imprisonment above the court
room signed a document Of submission
and remuneration.
It was addressed to President Dole. and
