The Courtmartial.

The trial of Captain Good was
continued last evening in the pres
ence OF large audience. Colonel
Mclean was the principal witness
and his testimony was corroborated
by Sergeants Weatherby, Taylor
Carlyle and Moore,
The Colonel gave straight and
clear testimony but showed some
heat and temper towards Captain
Good. The counsel for the Captain
gave the Colonel full scope to ex-
press his feelings until the Judge
Advocate interfered and in a very
dignified manner stopped the ex-
change of pleasantries between the
Colonel and Mr.. Robertson.
The young lawyer seemed to be
DESTROYS OF being unpleasant to the
Colonel who evidently was prepared
for the fray
The following is in brief the his
tory OF the "missing" sight from the
Austrian field piece according to the
statements of the witnesses About
nine months ago Colonel Mclean
ordered ordnance sergeant Weather
by to bring sight to his Office. The
sergeant took the sight from gun
placed on the Waikiki side Of the
Executive Building and handed it
to the Colonel who desired to make
himself familiar with the manipula-
ton of the field pieces with which
he naturally was unacquainted. The
sight since then has been in his
Office and has been reported after
each inspection as missing" but in
the Colonies Office to the knowledge
of the sergeant and othsrs concern
ed. In May, Captain Cool on a day
of inspection reported sight miss
ing. The Colonel answered that
the only sight missing" was 'he
one which was in his o. GO. Cap 70
Good persisted in his statement It
a sight, which he had seen few
days before on the gun was missing
and spoke in loud tone of voice.
The Colonel simply accepted his
report and Sergeant Weatherby was
ordered to inspect the guns, and he
testifes that he found the sights on
all of them except the one Of which
the sight for months passed had
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1896-07-24

been in the ColonePs possession. A
few days after the report OF Coed,
in regard to the sight had been
made, Minister Cooper sent for
Colonel Mclean and showed him
rusty sight wrapped in brown paper
on which an anonymous letter was
written The package was address
ed to President Dole and the lettor
has been previously published in
our columns. The Minister asked
Colonel Mclean to investigate the
matter which he did. The result
was that he learned, that while
cleaning the guns in the yard OF the
Executive Building, the men lost
sight and were unable to fud it.
Fearing trouble and punishment
they broke into the ordnance room
and secured there reserve sight,
there are two sights to each OF the
eight field pieces) and replaced it
on the gun without reporting the
loss. Some days after Sergeant
Taylor found sight in the yard
and handed it TO Sergeant Carlyle
who turned it over to Captain Good
in the presence Of Sergeant Moore.
Captain Good did not report the
matter to the Colonel and later on
did not offer any explanation to his
superior officer or to the Court of
Inquiry what became of the sight.
The sixteen sights belonging to the
battery are accounted for as follows:
Seven on the guns, the sight of the
eighth gun being handed to the
Courtmartial by Colonel Mclean;
seven reserve" sights in the ord
nance room and one sight handed
to the Court together with the
anonymous letter by the Minister of
Foreign Affairs.
This is the gist of the testimony
Of the witnesses examined last
evening.
In his evidence the Colonel stated
that as soon as he realized the true
situation in Honolulu he reduced
the number of sentres and took the
guns away from public view. He
occasionally has used a special guard
at the gunshed when the filibuster
rumors we're rife, but as rule the
ordinary number of sentries take
care Of the guns and the Executive
Building. The Colonel did not say
as stated in this mornings paper
that "they (the guns) are now used
to shoot the people, but not women
and children" OF course every
sensible person can realize that the
report of this alleged remark is
wrong. We simply refer to it, to
avoid possible misconstructon here
and abroad.
The Courtmartial will reconvene
this evening at 1880 o'clock.
