LITTLE JOHNNY HAS A SAY GLAD TO Be IN HONOLULU
HIS TESTIMONY A SURPRISE TO
THE DEFENSE.
Kapea Told His Father and Brother
How He Killed DR.. Smith Before
Retiring-New Facts.

\ surprise was sprung by the pros
ecution in the Kauai murder cases to-
day when IA year old Johnny kaio,
related confession made by his bro
ther Kapea on the night that DR.. j.
X. Smith was assassinated.
Johnny says that when the plans
were laid on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday, George Rathburn and
Upapa were present. On Wednesday
night Kaio proposed plan which was
rejected. Upapa suggested that they
tie a floating rag to cats tall set 1t
on fire and turn the cat loose in DR..
Smith canefeld. Upapa's unique idea
created much laughter among the
plotters and it was promptly decided
not to try it.
It was finally agreed that the cane
field should be set on fire by kapea
and Iosepa with matches.
In connection with DR.. Smiths visit
to Kaio's house. Johnnie stated that
after Kapea had heard the doctor in
form Paupau she must go to Honoiu-
lu. he came out to where he (Jonn-
nie) was at work and said that ne
"would never let his head go , sleep
until he had killed that man
On the night of the murder Johnny
stated that he and his father Kaio
were up waiting for the boys TO re-
turn. They came between 10 and II
o'clock, and when they entered kapca
exclaimed in Hawaiian: "My gun has
feasted on man and now | am sat
isfied.''
Kapea then hurriedly related an ac-
/ count of the killing. He told how
they waited their opportunity, and
when the people had disappeared from
the church social, they rode into the
Smith yard, and he, Kapea, told lose
pa to hold the horses. He then went
to the doctors room and knocked. Dr.
! Smith called out "Wai kea?" (Who's
| there.) Kapea answered with low
grunt. DR.. Smith called out second
time and Kapea says he grunted once
more. whereupon the doctor opened
the door. and he sprang back and
shot him.
Kapea says that they then mounted
| their horses aud rode ihome over {;
roundabout course.
Johnnie testified that after caring
Kapea's story they all FASTENED to
bed Iosepa and himself usually
slept in another building, but they
with Kapea slept in the dining room.
They had hardly retired when the
officers arrived and told of Dr. Smiths
assassination. All the Kaios manifest
ed the greatest surprise and awe, eN-
pressing the deepest sympathy.
Johnnie is still undergoing direct
| examination. He talks clearly and
tells straightforward story.
