HONOLULU, HAWAII, Jan. 29.-Mrs.
Carrie II. Dimond returned to Honolulu
on the Coptic to the very great surprise of
people here. Her husband went out on
the tug with E / Macfarlane, 10 meet the
Gilig party, and one OF the first to con-
front him on the deck of the Coptic was
his wife. There was no scene, as mutual
friends interfered. On reaching the
wharf Mr.. Dimond at once drove to the
Office of his attorneys, Kinney & Ballou.
A petition for temporary injunction re-
straIning Mrs. Dimond from entering his
home or taking the only child was pre-
sented to Circuit Judge Carter in cham
bers shorty afterward. The petition was
as follows:
Now comes the libellant, w. w. Dimond, in
the above entitled cause, and moves this court
that an injunction issue forthwith restraining
the libeilee. Mrs. W. W. Dimond, in said case
from en- tering or attempting TO enter the
home OF the l1bellant at Waikiki, or from in
terfering with or molesting the person of Lucy
NJ. Dimond, child of libellant and libellee,
until further order of this court. This motion
is based upon the record and upon the affi-
davit of William W. Dimond, hereto attached
and made part hereof.
Mr.. Dimond asserted In his petition
that Mrs. Dimond voluntarily left his
house, and fur her that the premises were
leased in his own name from the Bishop
estate. Judge Carter Immediately issued
the following order:
Now, therefore. you and every one of you
are strictly enjoined under the pain and PEN
atty of being IN contempt of court from enter
ing or attem . ting to enter the house or prem
ises OF W. W. Dimond at Waikiki, and from in
terfering with or moiesting the person of Lucy
Nj. Dimond until further order OF this court.
Hereof fail not at your peril.
The papers were placed in the hands of
Marshal Brown, but before he could serve
them Mrs. Dimond had already gained an
entrance into the Dimond home. The
place had been locked and bolted, but Mrs.
Dimond forced her way in.
All that night there was considerable
excitement in the Dim ond household,
neither Mr. nor Mrs. Dimond retiring.
The attorneys of both parties, Messrs.
Thurston & Stanley for Mrs. Dimond,
Kinney q Ballou for Mr.. Diamond, and
Mr.. Paul Neumann, Marshal Brown, Mr..
Moore, Ned Macfariane and others were
also congreg gated at the house until mid.
night.
The following morning on the advice of
her alto rneys, Mrs. Dimond took rooms
at the Arlington Hotel, where she now is.
Early on Monday morning she was served
with an order to appear before Judge Car
ter for contempt, for disobeyIng the order
made above IN remaining in the house on
Saturday night.
The case is being bitterly fought by both
parties. Her attorneys have already Sc
cured an order from Judge Carter allow
ing her $25 per week temporary aIimony,
and $3.50 attorneys fees.
II l. generally understood here that il a
suitable settlement OF the property, ali
nony and the custody of the child in her
favor can be arranged Mrs. Dimond will
not object to the divorce but if such set
tlement cannot be reached that she will
hight the case to the bitter end and tell all
she knows.
1t is common talk that her threatened
revelatlons would involve many other So
clety people ana create big scandal in
Honolulu society, and those interested are
making strenuous efforts to effect settle
ment between the principals. None has
been effected yet, and the motion 10 ad-
Judge Mrs. Dimond guilty of contempt
was partly heard in court this morning.
