Man Known Uere Charged With
a Cruel Deed.

The authorities here have been no
titled of an attempt at Hilo TO com
nit most cruel and revolving crime.
The frightfuI effort was against the
life of an infant. That the one with
murder in heart did not succeed but
was an accident. The person accused
is Geo. II. Ruttman, who has been in
Hilo over two years and who married
at that place. He is quite we'll known
here. Ruttman is charged with trying
in the most cruel fashion to end the
life Of baby but a few hours old. II
is in the information from the police
department branch at Hilo that the
fellow narrowly escaped summary and
violent punishment at the hands of
citizens. There was a threat to lynch
Ruttman. He was saved by officers
1t is stated that Ruttman threw the
infant, before it had received any of
the attentions usually given the new
born, down into the vault of an out
house. The crying of the little child
was heard by a native neighbor. The
native told some haOles and an inves-
LEGATION was made There was a
prompt rescue of the infant and it at
once had such attention that it is now
doing we'll Ruttman came TO the Isl
ands in the latter part Of 1894. 1t was
said that he was we'll connected in the
States. For a time he was with the
extra Mounted Patrol and held a lieu
tenancy in the command He violated
the rules and was dismissed. Next
he was sent to Jail on a suit brought
by hotel keeper and remained in
prison for some time Finally he went
to Hilo.

Not Tailor and a Serious Result
Follows.
E. Dunbar, at one time a member
in good standing of the Mounted Pat
roI and now a hackman, was convict
ed in Circuit Court yesterday on trial
for malicious injury. 1t was a rather
unusual case C. c. COnley, also an
ex-horse policeman and Dunbar, were
rOOm-mates. COnley was also q cab
bic. Some trouble arose between the
pair, but for reasons known only to
themselves they failed to resort to q
settlement by force. Going 10 the
quarters of the pair few hours after
the row, Conley found that some one
had been doing all kinds of things"
as he says, TO his wardrobe. His reserve
clothing was cut and slashed and torn
worse than a sugar mill or a harrow
could do the job. COnley fastened
to the police station with the COM
plant that Dunbar had made the raid
on the clothing. Mention was also
made to Colonel Fisher that Dunbar
had not even spared a suit of y. G. H
cut, color, material, trimmings, etc.
Dunbar was arrested and the case
came before jury yesterday. Deputy
AttOrney-GeneraID Dole prosecuted and
Paul Neumann was for the defense.
The examination Of witnesses for both
sides was concluded just in time TO
properly or correctly adjourn for
lunch. During the noon hour Mr..
Neumann suddenly became so i'll that
he was unable to return to Court and
sent word TO that effect. In view of
this fact the attorney for the Republic
expressed Willingness TO submit the
case to the jury without argument and
the defendant agreed. A verdict of
guilty was returned for the jury by
Foreman A. E. Murphy. The Judge
stated that Dunbar would not be SEN
fenced until Attorney Neumann could
be in Court.
