Plumber England Is Found Not Guilty

Judge Dickey submitted q decision IN
the District Court yesterday morning
which doubtless proved of vital interest
to every hackman as well as to other driv-
ers of vehicles in the city. IL appears
that for some time past the motormen
in the employ of the Honolulu Rapid
Transit Company and various haekmen
on city stands have frequently FLASHED.
In fact there has not been the best OF
feeling manifested between the operators
of two distinct modes Of local transporta-
ton. The Jehus claim that they are fire.
auently insulied and peremptoriiy ordered
of the tracks Of the electric line by APP
preaching motormen. without regard TO
existing contingencies. On the other
hand. the men in control OF the new cleo
tric ears state that they have been greatly
annoyed of late by the actions of the
hackmen. who. it is claimed, do al in
their power TO make the life of the man
behind the brake one prolonged season
of terror and CONSERVATION. Rapid
Transit people insist that hacks have the
reprehensible habit of finding their way
on the tracks just about the time car
comes in sight. these same hacks con-

The case of the Honolulu Rapid Tran
sit Company against Charles E. Dunn
well. a hackman on a Hotel street hack
stand. charged with obstruction Of traffic,
occupied the time and attention of police
court officials throughout the greater por-
ton of yesterday morning. At the con-
clusion of a long recital of woes from
both sides. Judge Dickey announced that
he found the'defendant Dumwell guilty as
charged. The court found. in the light
of recent events, that while the matter
might in all probability be considered
test case. the preponderance of testimony
indicated that Dunwell failed to do all
on his part TO remove his hack from in
front of the approaching car. despite the
warning of the mot0rman- He therefore
fined Dunwell the sum of 50 and costs.
Attorney W. X. Castle assisted in the
prosecution. Dunwell was represented
by Attorneys Creighton and Correa. The
trial WIS characterized by the usual
whipsawing between the legal fraternity
over trivial points and legal TECHNICAL
ties. The gist of the testimony was that
Dunwell had driven to the Y. NJ c. A.
building Saturday morning with two pas
sengers. They were leaving the vehicle
as Rapid Transit car No. 80 approached.
Motorman Sherman called out to Dun
well to clear the track. Dunwell started
down Hotel street to the stand. Sherman
claiming that one-half of the hack occu-
pied the portion of the right of way al
lotted to the car. Testimony showed
that later in the day Dunwell and Motor
man Sherman again met. 1t was claimed
there was more obstruction to the car
Ii was shown that during the day high
words had passed between the two men.
Whether Dunman threatened the motor
man. or the Transit employee shook his
hist at the hackman. was not clearly as
certained, testimony upon these semi
tragic points being considerably at vari-
ance.
The court refused to take eognizance
of the fact that Dunwell declared that
his horse was very nervous. The evidence
| being weighed from the standpoint of OBJ
struction to traffic. it was shown that
about twenty people were aboard the car.
and Inconvenience by the delay in the
cars passing along the INSTRUCTED thor

1t is believed that the decision in the
case win have decided tendency TO clear
up the differences. or fancied wrongs,
which hackmen and motormen have re
Gently imagined as existing between them.
1t is now hoped that both factions will
carry the olive branch of peace.
