Attempt to Kill Consul Gen.
eraI Canavarro.

damages in the sum of $4,000 by L. c.

prison by Judge Wilcox as the result
of a frustrated attempt to kill the
Portuguese Consul Senior Canavarro.
by the use of dynamite last year. Ca
macho has just been released from
Oahu prison, where he spent year in
lieu of putting up a bond of $1,000 to
keep the peace for that time.
In his complaint. which is filed by
Thomas Fitch. new attorney IN Ho-
nolulu, Camacho alleges that while in
prison one of his ribs was broken by
a person whom he describes as Deputy
Sheriff Poi The police department
is amused at the name given 70 the
alleged deputy sheriff by Camacno and
his attorney. If Deputy Sheriff Poi"
is to be placed upon the witness stand
in Camacho's suit, the police depart
ment will have its hands full In ap-
pretending him. There is no such Of
fetal on the police payrolls as Poi, .
and never has been. Probably Fitch
