SHOOTING At NOANALUA
ITALIAN GARDENER KILLED BY
A FRIEND.
Bullet Through the Breast-Death at
Hospital-Assailant in jail Charged
with His Crime.

Honolulu has another shooting case,
and the next session of the circuit court
will have to deal with it.
The two parties, the one dead and the
man who shot him, worked for Mr.. Da-
man at Moanalua and were among the
small number of Italians brought to the
country some time ago as an expert
ment.
Ditogni Morcello Is the name of the
man who did the shooting. He is in
Jail charged with murder in the first
degree The dead man is Biasi Shdele.
The shooting occurred just before II
o'clock Saturday night at Moanalua.
Both men had been drinking and the
pistol wielder was considerably under
the influence of liquor. AS soon as the
shooting took place Morcello escaped to
the hills.
Deputy Marshal Chillingworth, Min
lister Damon, DR.. Emerson, and four po-
licemen went to Moanalua as soon as
the shooting was reported. They found
the wounded man without difficulty and
brought him to town.
A 80 caliber pistol ball had passed
through his body just below the heart.
Considerable blood had been lost and
the poor fellow was hardly able to talk.
Death came this morning at the hospi-
tai. The funeral will take place at 4
O'Clock this afternoon.
MOrCellO stayed III the mountains all
night. A search was maintained for
him but without effect. Yesterday he
appeared at the station house and gave
himself up.
After the pistol wielder escaped into
the mountains several shots were heard
in the direction taken by him. 1t is un-
derstOod that he wanted to impress
chance pursuers that he was very bad
man and might just as well be left
alone. A night of hardship in the hills
took all of this spirit out of him, how
ever, and he was humble enough when
he appeared at the station house.
A coroner's inquiry is being held this
afternoon. The jury went to the hospi-
tai at o'clock to view the remains. The
following have the matter in hand: S,
Kubey, l.. F. Prescott, c. L. Clement
William Love, W. Mott and George
Dillingham;.
This is the first racket that has ever
taken place among the Italians. AS a
rule they have been exceptionally or
derly. Liquor was unquestionably the
cause of the trouble.

IMMIGRANTS SECURE WRIT OF
HABEAS CORPUS.
Refused Landing by Agent Brown.
They Appeal to Supreme Court.
Hearing Tomorrow Morning

The supreme court has another big
Chinese immigration controversy to set
tie. This time ii is two men, one of
whom came on the Gaelic and the other
on the Peking few weeks ago.
The mems names are Yap All Sap
whatever that means-and Lee All Kan.
They both presented Hawaiian permits
to return, to Chinese Agent Brown.
That gentleman investigated the mat
ters carefully and came to the conclu-
sion that the permits presented belong
ed to other Cinnamon and the men be-
ore him were trying to enter the coun-
try by fraud.
Following this conclusion both men
were arrested and fined $15 each in the
police court. Being unable to pay the
fines they were held by orders of
Deputy Marshal Hitchcock, and are still
so held.
This morning they came back at the
customs and police department by fill
ing a petition for a writ of habeas cor
pus. Justice Frear of the supreme court,
allowed the writ and ordered the men
brought before him. This was done. At
ter a preliminary arraignment the case
went over to tomorrow morning.
In his answer to the writ Agent
Brown states that he believes the men
are not qualified to land in Hawaii or
other American territory under Hawai-
ian or United States law. He enters
the charge of fraud and affirms that he
will be able to prove same before the
court.
Deputy Marshal Hitchcock says in
answer that he holds the men upon or
ders of Agent Brown and Collector
Richard Ivers, further than which he is
not concerned in the matter.
1t is understood that the Cinnamon
will endeavor to prove that they are the
parties for whom the permits were made
out, and if successful in their conten-
ton will bring damage suits against the
Chinese agent and Collector of Gus
toms.

There are probably more Singer sew

than of any other one make, This is a

one of the very best machines. The
points of merit are strength, durabil-
