ON THE IMPULSE.

Witness and Good were always close
friends. Though the matter weighed
so heavily upon him he never spoke tn
Good about it. Was not fond of writ
ing anonymous letters. While brood
ing over the danger never thought of
telling Good. The thought TO go to-
the gun shed popped into witness
head when opposite Executive build
ing. Was down town that night to
see what could be seen and hear what
could be heard. Spoke to nobody. Saw
few people and heard few dogs
barking.
Never knew of the Court of Inquiry.
Told Col. Soper about the matter be-
fore Mr.. Robertson returned from
Kauai. Soper and Good were close
friends. Was here on first night of
the courts session. Did not come in
because had no business in the court
room. Stayed outside and talked to
II. Jay Greene.
GOES TO CHURCH.
Was at the Christian church, Alakea
street. last Friday night. Was not
there in the capacity of detective.
Did detective work two or three nights
n week. The reason for taking the

object lesson.

The defendant, Capt. Good, took the
stand. He said: Been connected with
the N G. H. since January II, 1893.
Held captaincy since January pa, 1893.
THE TEAM MEETING.
Called the men into the company
room to consider the matter of enter
ina team to shoot for the Marlin rifle.
Had been practicing for some time
previous. Reductions in pay came at
that time. Stated to them that the
team had been doing a great deal of
extra work, and extra expenses had
been paid by the canteen. The men
reloaded, made bullets and practiced
shooting on their own time. Stated to
the men that shooting had, cost wit
ness personally great deal of money,
and ON account of increase OF expenses
and cut of wages could not afford the
expenses. Stated to the men that
would not shoot any more than was
ordered to do. and told them good
man did what he was ordered" This
referred to shooting and was with
the idea of doing no more shooting
than was required.
A SIDE STORY,
; | AS for the matter of using the te-
prostitutes: A few weeks before,
+ Mclean stated he felt some unea
ness about the men down stairs. H.,
> said that few nights before a me.'-
ing had been held to protest against
G the reported reductions Witness j-
;. vestgated and found there had beeh
q no meeting and no resolutions ln'l
been passed. This went to show thnt
the Government was perhaps susr 70
:. ious. and the remark may have be, y
:, made to the men on the strength of
= it.
. Shooting after that was done on the
. regulation basis. In June ordered the
first sergeant to start the men shoot
;. ing again for the medal contest. Later,
hired buses with canteen funds to take
them to Maliki. In the mess room
Sc witness did say to the officers that he
;s intended to conform strictly to rules
and not go beyond that. This he had
carried out. Other remarks relating
to shooting and practice were of the
ie same tenor
Is THE SAILOR DRILL.
