A TRAGEDYS SAD SEQUEL
TERRIBLE NEWS FOR A PAssEN-.
GER ON THE QUEEN.
The Mother of the Woman Who Was
Murdered Last Week Arrives Expect
ing to Meet Her.

The double tragedy that shocked Ho-
nolulu last week had a very sad sequel
this morning in n scene of the arrival
of the steamship Queen from San
Francisco. Mrs. Dowerger, mother of
the young woman who was shot, was a
passenger on the steamer and arrived
in Honolulu all unconscious of the fate
that had overtaken her daughter. The
unfortunate woman became hysterical
on hearing the terrible news. She was
cared for by friends.
Mrs. Dowerger was one of the first
passengers to leave the boat. She was
at the rail on deck as the Queen came
down the harbor and she stood eagerly
scanning the large crowd on Likelike
wharf. searching for the faces of her
daughter and son-in-law. She expected
them to meet her and take her to their
home.
When the steamer had been made fast
and a gangway put up Mrs. DOwerger
hastened TO go ashore, still looking for
the two loved ones who had both met
violent deaths. Her first inquiry on
stepping ashore and meeting friends
was for her daughter. She wanted to
know why the young woman and her
husband were not at the boat to well
come her to honolulu.
