Henry Smith has filed a masters
report on the Bishop Estate &C.
counts. Extracts from these have
been previously published. The
main source OF income is rents,
which amounted to S65,3OS ~ the
past year. A profit of Sl62O.32
was made on the Moloksi
ranch. AS this property
was an after acquired asset of the
estate, having been gift OF Hon &.
G. r. Bishop to the trustees, the
master doubts if its operation
by the trustees can be
be approved by the Court. Ka
mehameha School for Boys took
SAL ,947.72, and that for Girls Sl3,
S29.46. The trustees have ex-
pended S723S Is in excess of cur
rent receipts, but, with a balance of
more than that amount at the be
ginning of the year, there is a
balance of Sl729 AZ to next ac-
count. An overcharge of SAB Is
in commissions is the only error
the master finds in the accounts.

How Joe CASTINGS Money MysteriousIy
Disappeared.

How Joe Castino's Money MysteriousIy
Disappeared.
In the police court this morn
ing Joe Casino, who lives in the
neighborhood of Thomas Square,
told of the mysterious disappear
ance of $500 from bis bedroom
last Wednesday evening, and the
circumstances which led up to the
arrest of Win Sing for the theft.
He said that on last Wednesday
evening,whiIe undressing previous
to taking bath, he placed $500
in gold on shelf over the door of
his bedroom. He was absent in
the bath room about seven minutes
and on his return the money had
disappeared. There was no one
in the house but the Chinaman
aud his son. When he went to
the bath the Chlnaman was wash
ing dishes, when he returned he
was gone. His son could not have
taken the money because he was
IN plain view while he was bath
ing, and ferocious dog in the
yard would prevent anyone else
going ina few days before he had
missed $40 from the same place
and the Chinaman knew that he
kept money there because he had
once taken some from the same
spot to pay his wages with.
Cas,ino's testimony was corro-
borated in part by that of his son,
a boy of 10 years, while Detective
Kappa testified that Casino came
to him about the robbery and he
advised the arrest of Win Sing.
At the conclusion of the testi-
mony for the prosecution, Judge
Wilcox granted a motion to dis
charge, saying that he did not be-
lieve any jury would convict the
defendant on the evidence ad-
duced.
Detective KAPPA conducted the
prosecution and j. A. Magoon
defended.
