: Judge Humphreys has been
=! charged by the Thurston gang
: with being almost everything,
but even they have never charg-
ed him with being a fool. No one
who knows the Judge would for
. one moment believe that he
would be fool enough to make
. such n statement as this. 1t only
shows that in their effort to in
Z. jure him the Thurston libellers
2 and blackmailers have over
: reached themselves.
The Republican learned enough
2 yesterday to assure 1t that the
. alleged interview was prepared

the steamer China. 1t being part
. of a deeply laid plot. It will be
remembered that the Advertiser
: and It's evening echo, the Star,
came out charging Judge Hum
: phreys with being the engineer
of n scheme to annex Hawaii to
California about the time they
expected the fake interview to
he published in San Francisco.
1t will also be remembered that
the Advertiser and the Star both
have repeatedly declared that
people should anxiously watch
the Mainland papers coming in
on yesterdays m1il. thus show
ing that they knew what was
coming in their faked-up inter-
view. And in their zeal to he
sure and have people anticipat-
ing It they gave away the fact
that they were cognizant of
what was coming.
All this despiCable work Is
what may he expected from the
Thurston gang. who will stop
at no dirty work to injure a man
whom they cannot control,
Here follows the alleged inter
view in full and people OF Ho-
nolulu who know Judge Hum
phreys have only to read 1t to
see that It Is untrue in every
essential.
