tratiOn. In December last judge Per-
ny declared the legal heirs to be Ann
Atkinson, Dosey kansome, Elizabeth
Hail and Thomas Dean. the iirst three
being half sisters of deceased and tho
last-namod a half brother. The de-
ceased left real estate in Honolulu,
lately appraised at $4,000 value, and
about $50, 900 IN money.
"A curious romance is revealed in the
testimony of MIR. Castle. He had re-
peatedly advised Dean to make Il will.
but all the latter left of a testament
tary nsture was n memoranda book.
wherein, in his own Handwriting, he
said If anything should happen To nm
he wished all Of his properly left TO
his aunt, Mrs. Edward Robinson, and
in case Of her death to her children.
Mr.. Castle testified that the aunt has
been dead fifteen years, and the two
cousins are not his nearest relatives,
property. The reason for that was,
Mr.. Castle learned, that before he came
to these islands he fell in love with
woman, and had made all arrange
ments to marry her when his father
turned around and married hef. The
children of this marriage were mig
nearest relatives, but he did OF want
any of the property to go to them.
Dean was not married here. He was
very skilful mechanic, and did all
the nice work at the palace. In the
last five or nix years Of his life he
did no work, but lived on his rents IN
a little cottage just above the first
Nuuanu bridge. Sometimes he would
go off to Molokai and shoot deer, and
Mr.. Castle supposed that kind of life
was too much for him and killed him. .

busy getting out the calendar for the

eight cases. There are twenty-five tor

the law-abiding character of the ma
