A Question of Privilege.

Another family quarrel on Queen

scene at about 1870 o'clock last
night. Same old story-a friendly

his business course in his life was
considered, he selected medicine as
a profession and began his studies
at McGiIl University, from which
institution he was graduated. He
began practicing in Montreal, but
realizing the necessity for greater
knowledge in his profession he
went to England, taking courses in
medicine and surgery in the best
colleges in London, Paris and Ber-
lin, and was awarded diplomas in
each institution. While abroad he
associated himself with the staff of
a leading college in Edinborough.
He came to Honolulu about
eighteen years ago and associated
himself with DIR. Miner. He re-
mained there while Dr. Miner went
to Europe, and on his return DIR.
Brodie opened an office for himself
and very quickly built up a large
practice His list of patients grew
so large that his health broke
down and he decided to
give up his profession to certain
extent and devote some portion of
his time to rest, and with this in
view he invested largely in ranch
property near Waialua. This not
proving successful, after a few years
he sold out his interests, gave up
his practice and moved to San
Francisco, and after resting
for a short period he began prac-
ticing. His reputation as a physi-
clan and surgeon had gone before
him and he soon found that the
demand for his services was quite
as large in San Francisco as it
had been in Honolulu and his
chances for regaining his lost
health no better After a two years
residence in San Francisco he
yielded to the pressure OF old
friends and patients in Honolulu
and returned. His success during
the past three years was 50 marked

SHOOTING ACCIDENT.
PIOver Shooting Yesterday Costs
a Hand--A Swede the Victim.


The train from Waianae pulled
into the depot at about 9 o'clock
last night with a wounded Swede
by the name of Carl Jensen. The
details of the accident which cost
the man his right hand are as fol-
lows Jensen was out plover hunt
ing. He had been doing some
shooting and was about to reload
his gun when he saw a very large
flock of birds almost upon him.
This led him to hurry reloading
operations. In the excitement of
the moment he put his right hand
over the muzzle of the gun and, as
luck would have it, the gun was
discharged at the same instant.
Jensen was brought up on the
train and taken to the hospital,
where it was found necessary to
amputate the hand at the wrist.
Dr. Wood performed the operation.
At latest accounts the man was
resting comfortably.

highland fling by Mr.. Douglas who
appeared in full highland cos
tune. Mr.. Anderson gave a
reading and comic song in great
style. Mr.. ana Mrs. scott eXceIled
themselves in a dialogue entitled
" The NaggletOns on Derby Day"
Both acted their part to perfection,
and were ably assisted by Mrs.

respective parts. A song by Mr..
Garvie, who also officiated as chair
man of the meeting, was we'll re
ceived.
The Makaweli Literary and Social

DURRANI'3 DEFENSE CLOSED
And the Prospects are Dark for the
Accused Man.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 2t-The
defense in the Durrant trial practically
closed to-day. Another witness may be
examined tomorrow and then the prcse-
cuciOn will begin the introduction of
testimony in rebuttal. Although much
important evidence is yet to be submit
ted the the case will probably 60 to the
jury at the close of next week.
The impression now prevails that the
defense has materially strengthened the
prosecutions case by falling to establish
single fact that Attorney Duprey in his
opening statements said he would show.
Although he announced that an aliti
would be proved, no witness appeared to
swear that Durrant was elsewhere than
at Emanuel Baptist Church when Blanche
Lamont was murdered. Failing toshow
that DuTrant was not at the church the
defense has attacked the witnesses who
testified that they saw him in that vicin-
ity in company with Miss Lamont.
This afternoon DR.. r. @. Mcdonald
was called TO give expert testimony on
the hallucinations of elderly women.
He admitted that in time of great excite
ment over an extraordinary crime
elderly women often became possessed
with the delusion that they had knowl-
edge of alleged facts. He denied, how
ever, that elderly women were more
likely to have such Authorizations than
anybody else. The question was plainly
for the purpose of throwing discredit on
the testimony Of Mrs. Leake and Mrs.
Vogel, two of the strongest witnesses of
the prosecution
The prosecution has found witness who
will L stify that everything was not right

of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Viii
