Ing. when ! saw An Sop, Mr. Andrade'
Chincae boy and found out that Al
Sins had worked at TIE stables ! aft

been taken from the Hotel stables
picked out the little one who had beef
employed there for the past year, Al
In. and questioned him again in rcgar,
to All Sing All isu at first denied evei
having known him at all; then. wher

Al Sing had worked for some time al
the Club stables, but denied absolute

been employed Mt the Hotel stables.
"Ah Sing at one time worked foi
John Andrade, who taught him his
trade; but he afterwards quarreled
with his cousin, All Sop, and went
away and secured employment In the
Club stables. have witnesses to sub
stantiate the correctness OF all this in
formation and can get them, If need
be, at any time. Ah Sing worked at
the Club stables for several months,
and about the time that the Club sta
bles were closed he went to work some
where else at his regular occupation.
The foregoing l got out of China
man who had lived in the same house
in Palama with All Sing Mr.. Berliner
and Chinaman, however, also told me
that Ah Sing had been employed in
the Hotel stables. Several Portuguese,
who did not know him by description
and called him simply 'Pake.' substan-
tiated this evidence, saying that a
young, pale-looking Chinaman, who
had been working at the Club stables,
had afterwards come to the Hotel sta
bles to work. All Sing answered their
description.
The Evidence Found.
THE evidence, | think, Is conclu-
sive that All Sing had worked a week
oItwo at the Hotel stables, and think
we can safely say that this is the third
case of plague that has come from the
Hotel stables. Now we have ascer-
tanned facts in the All Sing case that
we were unable to get hold of in either
OF the other two cases from the stables,
viz, the Japanese who was taken from
Kukui street on January 20, and All
Hung, who died last Monday.
I'm the Japanese (Kukui street,
case We had no testimony that he had
ever worked at the Hotel stables, 9TH
er than the sub-inspector's report,
which we were not able to substantiate
by any other information. AS far as
Ah Hung is concerned, it was under
stood that he had slept at the stables,
but that he was not working there
when he was taken sick.
"Ah Sing, who was Infected in the
same manner as the two previous vic
tins, certainly did contract the disease
while working at the Hotel stables. He
was first a stable boy there, sweeping
out the stables and working with the
manure; afterwards he washed harness
and the evidence all points to his hav-
ing become infected in the stables.
That Is the way the matter stands to
date"
Discussion by Board.
Mr.. Hatch: did not the bookkeep-
er at the Hotel stables say that the Ah
Sing, who worked there, was car
riage painter?"
DR.. Wood: THAT All Sing was evil
IDENTIFY another man who worked for
the stables occasionally; perhaps for
week at time, but was not steadily
employed there"
Mr.. Hatch: Were there two All
Sings on the books, them"
DR.. Wood: I'VE have not yet been
able to see the books; | have arranged
to have them brought to us. There
are many Cinnamon with the same
name and many of them have several
names; they generally lie so much
that it is impossible to rely on what
they say in most cases. Ah Sop (Mr.
Andrade's Chinese boy) / am satisfied
spoke the truth; however, / can get
him any time / want him."
Mr.. Lowrey: WAS there no evil
dence that the Japanese who was re-
moved from Kukui street on January
22d, had come from the Hotel stables?"
DR.. Wood: There was no proof
that the Japanese who had left the Ho-
tel stables at that time, was the man
who died of plague, and who was re-
moved from Kukui street before he
died"
Considerable discussion here took
place in regard to the evidence or lack
of evidence in the cases of the Jap
anese (died Jan. 22nd) and All Hung,
as to their having been infected in the
Hotel stables. The general opinion OF
the members was that there had been
insufficient evidence in either of the
two first cases from the Hotel stables to
warrant the Boards taken any meas
ures other than those which they had
adopted. The evidence in the Ah Sing
case was considered by the members
of the Board as satisfactory.
Mr.. Lowrey: "Then the evidence in
this All Sing case appears to clear up
the matter considerably and enables
the Board to act upon definite informa-
ton"
DR.. Wood: Yes; l think we have
all the information necessary to go
ahead with the consideration of the
disposition of the Hotel stables"
