REv0LvERS PRODUCED IN COURT

ed yesterday. Judge Wilcox was sworn
in as interpreter and the examination
of witnesses was more expeditions
than on previous days. Judge Will
cox's long term of service as inter-
prefer has won him a familiarity with
Hawaiian customs and the Hawaiian's
mental powers of reasoning. Iosepa
was the principal witness Of the day.
He is JhOnnie's brother and KaiO's
nephew. It was Iosepa who accom-
panied Kapea on the night when DR..
Smith was killed. He held the horses
near the corner of the house while
Kapea went to the veranda Steps and
raped to call DR.. Smith to the door.
Iosepa and Jhonnie have lived with
KaiO since the death of their father,
some nine months ago. Their mother
died many years ago. At Kaio's place
they occupied a little house Of Their
own. Iosepa told the whole history OF
his life at, Kaios, Sometimes he and
Jhonnie worked, oftener they did not.
When they were doing nothing they
remained about the house, sometimes
strolling to the store to meet the rest
of the boys, sometimes doing errands
for Kaio. When they went for him
they used his horses, otherwise they
walked Kapea usually stayed at home
although he sometimes went out in
the evening to hear the Salvation
Army sing. When they worked Kaio
allowed them so cents a day, deduct-
ing something for food.
w. o. Smith was called to the stand
by the defense for cross examination.
A. K Mika was examined and John
Kalawakua, who overheard cOnver-
sation by one of the defendants. Mr..
Kinney offered in evidence the pistol
owned by Kapea, the pistol owned by
Iosepa, both of which were somewhat
rusty from their exposure to the air
when they were hidden
1t was on the Monday of the week
previous to the murder that DR.. Smith
came to Kaio's house and said that the
two women must report to the Board
of Health. When he had left Kapea
told Isopea what DR.. Smith had said.
Iosepa testified that Kapea said that
he would not rest until he had killed
the white man.
Then followed the details of the
week, the lamentation of the family at
the knowledge that in two weeks the
two women were to be taken to Homo
lulu. Iosepa told of the plans that fol-
lowed Every night next week they
endeavored to accomplish the deed.
Kaio told him that they must do away
with the doctor before he had an op>
portunity to notify the police that the
women were to go to Honolulu. He
said that Kapea suggested that they
go out with their revolvers and if they
met the doctor they were to kill him.
He said that he wanted to wait and
asked Kapea to do so for fear that
Kaio would hear of it and be angry.
On Friday night, Iosepa said, he and
Kapea left the house with their horses
| and their revolvers, determined not to
return until they had made away with
the doctor. He told of the ride over
the road to Dr. Smiths house and his
sensations as they approached the
grounds. They knew them we'll as

ing his suspenders over his shoulders
When he knocked Kapea stood on thu
