PAHIA Is
IN JAIL
Spent the Sabbath
Behind Bars of
Iron.
WAS AND LONG
OPPOSE GEAR
Court Tries to Place Long in an
Unenviable Light, But Makes
a Failure.

on Saturday forenoon, Judge Gear
sent j. NJ. Poepoe to jail for twelve
hours and f. Pahia, to durance vile un-
til he should reconvey certain lands to
a minor, named Puhipaka Malama. The
: girl recently disposed of the land to Pa
ha, upon the solicitation of Poepoe.
When Pahia was called to the stand,
he seemed to think that he had done
the girl a favor by purchasing the land,
I and explained to the court how he had
paid the girl several times what the
| property was worth. lie court seemed
to take little or no stock in his story
and ordered him to cancel the deed at
! once, This he refused to do. He was
thereupon ordered to Jail until such time
as ii should please him to follow judi
cial instructions.
At late hour Sunday night he had
! not experienced a change of heart.
Puhpaka Malama il a minor, who
possesses property on the other side of
the island. BY what the bench believes
to be intentional misrepresen lions, she
was induced to sell the same for $3.50
although its real value is at least three
times that sum. The girl is not yet
eighteen years of age, and because of
her inexperence, trusted her supposed
friends implicitly.
