IronnInLr CRUELTY.
Marshal Brow" InNcstigating case
from Kauai.


Some time since fourteen
year-old Chinese girl was brought
over from Kauai on a commit
ment from a District Magistrate
adjudging her to be insane. Mar
shall Brown, in view of certain
circumstances which came to his
hearing, had Superintendent Cut
ter bring the girl to the police
station today, where she was exa-
mined by DIR. Myers and after
ward taken before Judge de la
Vergne. The examination was
for the purpose of bringing out
certain facts which had been re-
ported to the Marshal. On the
testimony of DIR. Myers the girl
was recommitted to the asylum as
a hopeless idiot.
The history of her case, as far
learned, is this. When three years
Of age she was struck on the head
by her father and has never en-
tirely recovered from the effects
of the blow. She was taken away
and kept by friends for a number
of years until she seemed to be
entirely well. Some months ago
she was returned to her father
and since then no one knew what
had become of her. A few Sun
days ago a native boy informed
the police that he had heard cries
coming from the fathers house.
An investigation was made, the
house being broken into. No one
was in the house except the
girl, who was found locked
up in a little cupboard
which measured only 81 by feet.
The girl had been left from the
night previous without food or
drink. AS nearly as could be
made out from her story her
father was in the habit of leaving
her on Saturday night and return
ing on Monday morning, never
leaving even water or provisions.
She could not tell how long she
had been kept in the place but she
had never been out of it since first
put in. There was no door or
opening to the miserable little
den in which she eked out her
miserable existence and what little
food and water she was given was
passed in under one of the boards.
When founed she was one mass
of fifth and covered with vermin.
The poor girl presented a horrible
sight, while the room in which she
had been confined was covered
with ipdescribable filth. The
girls father was sent for and in a
tit of rage upon fndiag that his
cruelty had been discovered as
suited the girl with heavy stick,
breaking her arm. For this he
was arrested but the District
Magistrate only imposed small
fine, while he committed the girl
to the asylum.
DR.. Myers testified that this
systematic and horrible illtreat-
ment of the girl had reduced her
to state of hopeless idiocy, from
which there was little or no pros
pect of recovery.
Judge de la Vergne stated to the
BULLETIN reporter that this was
by far the worst case of cruelty
that he had any official knowledge
of. Marshal Brown is also very
much worked up over the case and
intends to follow it up, and the
chances are that the heartless
father will get that justice in Ho-
nolulu that he did not get in
Kauai.
