JURY SUPPORTS EXPERTS
AGREEMENT AS TO KILLING OF
HANNAH AND ALOHIKEA.
Condition of Lines Held Responsible
for the Death Dealing Short Circuit
The Verdict

The coroner's jury appointed by
Marshal Brown to investigate the kill
ing of Tom Hannah and Alohikea by
an electric wire last Friday night, met
at the police station at 1880 yesterday
afternoon and concluded its delibera-
tions. First, the evidence educed at
the hearing was submitted i'm writing
TO the respective witnesses, read and
signed by them. The evidence was
then gone over by the jury. This YER
dict was prepared and signed;
THAT they and each one of them
came to their death respectively on
the 21st day of October, \. ID. 1898, in
Honolulu, Island of Oahu, by comldg
in contact with a primary electric
light wire carrying 1000 volts of cleo
tricity at that place on King street, in
said Honolulu, where the bodies were
! found, which wire prior thereto had
been severed or broken by coming I'm
contact with neighboring wire thus
causing a short circuit whereby said
! primary wire was severed and the two
severed ends thereof fell to the
ground.
1--WE further find in general. that
the electric light plant and system vt
Honolulu is lacking in many essen
tial and important respects. thus rem
dering the same a menace to human
life.
I'VE further find in particular that
there is no Independent systematic in
Spection of said electric light plant
and system.
Had the transformer been placed
on the opposite side of the corner of
King and Richards street instead of
where it was, at the time of this oc-
rurrence, two lives would have been
saved, as the wire would then have
only carried about So volts of electric
ity and rendered the same harmless;
that the placing of primary wires hea-
Willy charged with electricity over pub
lie .thoroughfares and streets at a low
elevation is improper and dangerous
to life.
The using of wooden insulator
pins in this climate where they are
likely to be weakened and DESTROYED
by insects, is also improper and dan
gerOus.
I'VE further find from the evidence
adduced that the present superinten-
dent has with the resources available
done all in his power to put the svs-
tenn into proper and safe condition.

THE WAY OF EASE

Who would have ease, let him draw the
sword
Against the ranks of evil if he choose,
But let him rather fight them in the clouds,
With trumpet blast and airy horseman-
ship,
Than 'mongst the tumult of the life Of
earth;
Where. hand in hand and arm about the
waist,
With man they mingle, loving and beloved
And if a servant of the Lord should choose
With fearless heart to strike at high-born
crime.
Let him deal daintily, with soft-gloved
hands
And careful phrases, lest he should offend.
'Tis no great matter If he painteth God
Unjust and cruel, worse than many a man:
And eyes will mark not if his life be vain,
And needless of the Masters law of love;
But should he swerve, though but fin
gers breadth,
From the SNUG custom of society,
Should he in tracking evil to its den
In heat of argument, but once let fall
word uniting lin the worlds es teem)
His august calling, straight the cry he'll
hear,
Behold, what blasphemyw While sage
heads wag.
Yea, who would ease retain, let him mark
well
Conventionalities, aged prejudice
These be coiled serpents, that to tread upon
Is deadlier than to brave the powers Of hell!
