Suicide to Avoid Arrest.
Maddened with jealousy j. NJ. Kea-
lohapauole Makahi a well to do native
of Waialua killed Mrs. Maria Kalama-
kee at Waialua Saturday, and when the
woman died and arrest for the crime
him, he turned his revolver
upon himself and took his own life. The
exact reason for the mans attack upon
the woman has not been learned but
those in position to know of the affair,
assert that he was driven to despera-
ton by the thought that she had Tilted
him for another native. In any event,
the woman had apparently aroused
KealohapauOle's enmity for he took a
terrible revenge upon her for his wrong,
whether it was real or fancied.
Saturday morning about o'clock,
Kealohapauole went to the woman's
house near the Kaupoo bridge, and
there found her in company with her
two children and her sister and the lat
ter's husband. There was some thing
peculiar about Kealohapauole's manner
which aroused the suspicious of the ma
tives although the man seemed to be
friendly disposed and bade them all
good morning. Mrs. Kalamazoo went
up stairs to the second story and was
Immediately followed by Kealohapau-
ole. What passed between them will
never be known. One of the little girls
soon followed them and went into the
room where the pair were talking. In
a few minutes the others down stairs
heard a muffied sound and the other
girl ran upstairs. That strange sound
was the report of a pistol for the girl
met her sister coming crying out of the
room,
MY mama's in there. He shot her.

ran into the room and there, to her
horror perceived her mother lying on
the floor with the blood flowing from
wound in her breast. Get out of
here" ordered Kealohapauole who stood
with a smoking revolver in his hand.
Get out now or I'll fix you too" The
child ran crying down stairs with her
little sister. Get out of here every
one of you" shouted Kealohapauole TO
the others down stairs. The children
between their sobs told of the murder
Gus assault upon their mother and the
threats of Kealohapauole. The entire
crowd ran from the place crying out to
the neighborhood that Kealohapauole
had killed Mrs. Kalamazoo.
DR.. Hubert Wood heard of the affair
and accompanied by S. Orme of the
Waialua plantation, started for the
house for the purpose of dressing the
wounds of the woman. But Kealoha-
pauole would have none of it. Evident
ly he intended to kill the woman for he
resisted every effort made to relieve
her agony. He permitted the men to
get close to her house and then, with
out the slightest warning, he fired twice
at them. One of the bullets struck q
post close to the head of DR.. Wood
while the second ball whistled still
closer TO the physician. DR.. Wood and
his companion promptly retired from
the range of the bullets.
Deputy Sheriff Andrew Cox had, in
the meanwhile, heard of the trouble so
he secured a posse and proceeded with
out delay to the house for the purpose
of capturing Kealohapauole. AS soon
as Cox learned of the attack upon Wood
however. the officer telephoned to High
Sheriff Brown for instructions. Sheriff
Brown directed Cox to don the uniform
of an officer of the law and then or
der Kealohapauole to come out and sur
render. Cox did as he was ordered.
Kealohapauole permitted him to APP
proach the house and enter the parlor.
Before Cox could reach the murderer
however Kealohapauole fired twice at
the brave officer. Both bullets passed
through the clothes of the officer. 1t
was impossible for Cox to get into the
room where Kealohapauole had bari-
caded himself, without rislking certain
death, so he retired out of range Of
the bullets. Cox was determined to
take the prisoner however so the guard
was redoubled about the house and the
fight settled down to a simple PROPOSE
ton of starving out the murderer.
Two hours had now passed since the
woman was ruthlessly shot down and
Sheriff Cox and the other watchers de-
cided to try and make an effort TO learn
her fate and, if she were still alive, to
do something to help her. One of the
little natives who was in the house
when Kealohapauole first called volun-
teered to take note to the desperate
man. Cox wrote and asked that he
surrender. The house was surrounded
the note said, and there was no chance
for him to escape. Would he not let
them come and get the woman? To
this Kealohapauole wrote back that he
was as good as a dead man then. He
did not propose to give up but he would
stay and fight until he died. No refer
ence was made to the condition of the
woman and at that time, the officers
supposed she was still alive.
1t was expected that High Sheriff
Brown or Deputy High Sheriff Chilling
worth would come down and assist in
dislodging the murderer from his strong
hold on the second story of the house,
In the afternoon information was re-
ceived however to the effect that nobody
would come from Honolulu. Deputy
Sheriff Fernandez went from the Eva
district to assist in the capture of Kea-
lohapauole.
While still guarding the place Cox
was informed that the High Sheriff had
sent word that the man must be
taken dead or alive before night fall.
These were not exactly the orders
which the High Sheriff sent down for
the correct orders merely directed Cox
to make a special effort TO try and cap
