Especial correspondence

WAILUKU, Maui, Dec 15-The De
cember term of the Second Circuit
Court convened at Lahaina, came to
an end Wednesday and the trial jurors
were paid off and dismissed, having
been in attendance since December 5th
OF the five true bills of Indictment
found by the Grand Jury but one case
came to trial, the four defendants in
the other cases being so oVerawed al
the findings of the Grand Jury that
they all pleaded guilty.
| In the fifth case-"TerritOry Of Ha-
wall VS.. All Flu and two others, assault
with dangerous Weapon'-the jury
| found All Flu, All Fook and All San
guilty of simple assault upon the per-
son of Jos. Paiko of Kaanapali The
fracas occurred in a Lahaina restau-
rant October "a.
one of the four cases in which the de
PENDANTS pleaded guilty was, Terri
tory of Hawaii VS.. Man Poon, alias Wal
| Tai alias Mai Wal, burglary and at
tempt at felony" This crime was COM
mitted at Kahului during the night Of
September 4, 1900. Man Poon broke in
to the store of the Hawaiian CONNER
cial IL Sugar Company and carried
away twenty or thirty suits of cloth
ing, several goldtilled and silver
watches, etc, concealing the major
part of his plumber under the grand
Istand of kahului race track. Another
was Territory of Hawaii VS.. Doyo lar
ceny second degree. Doyo was the
former yardboy of George Hons, ESD,
of Waikiki, and pleaded guilty to pur-
Joining sundry articles of clothing be-
longing to his employer.
Territory of Hawaii VS.. Kaula, as
sault with a deadly weapon" The
rhine occurred in Waikiki October %
haula, on two separate indictments,
pleaded
nd his mother-in- law with Ratchet
But few of the fifty cases originally
ON the calendar ever came to trial. Dur
ing the two days session of the Grand
Jury the attorneys spent their time in
compromising and settling cases out of
court. Then bail was forfeited in four
cases and two cases in which Judge
kalua was disqualified were continued
until next term of court.
Complimentary mention should be
made of the new method of selecting
iuries irrespective of class and race;
the only qualifications demanded being
that jurors must be q years of age or
over, must be able to read write and
speak the English language fuently,
and must be American citizens. Dur
ing the past term at Lahaina the jur-
les thus selected proved the best or as
good as the best that ever tried cases
on Maui, the Hawaiians acting with
fully as much dignity, discretion and
judgment as the foreigners.
