In almost every murder case there IL
substance for a novel Of exciting chap
tiers. In the killing that was done a,
kapuukolo Saturday night there is ma
terial for thrilling story with detail
To make the nerves tingle. The victim
was not OF much identity, but he was
a faithful. harmless chap. Malice was
not In him and he was a good man as
a laborer at the Iron Works. Th0se
who knew him express regard for him
and are sorry that he was ruthlessly
slaughtered. Joe. the Malay, had the
life knocked out OF him evidently
without having a chance to defend him
self and It Is believed without having
given serious ofYense.
Joe was a dark. strong. quiet fellow.
friendly with the Hawaiians and liked
by them. II is said he came to the
Islands from the south In a sailing
ship. He worked a couple OF years at
Walanae and has been In town nearly
year He Is dead and no one knows
who killed him, nor can anyone guess
why. There are several theories on
the manner OF execution of the crime
and the reason for II, but none Of
them are at all tangible. Method and
motive are densest puzzles.
Late Saturday night-after the sa-
Icons were closed and while the streets
were thronged with late wayfarers. a
clean looking little Chinaman, a laun-
dry employe, came into the police sta
ton with a frightened tale. He said

Joe, the Malay, was at full length. The
corpse was placed on blanket, loaded
into the little wagon and taken TO the
police station.
DIR. Emerson came along soon tc
