High Sheriff Brown vas then called
70 the stand He testified to having
been in the Islands for % years AID
70 having often seen James Love. the
petitioner. in a state OF sad intoxiea-

He remembered distinctly. six or
eight months ago. while driving alone
in a buggy. on a bright moonlight
night. he heard q terrible noise ema-
mating from the residence Of the Roes
on the Waikiki road
Yes. the Incident was very vivid In
his mind. still He did not get out Of
the buggy. but sat there for half OF
three-quartsrs Of an hour. listening to
the awful noise and watching Mr.
James Love. hanging out Of the par
Tor window with his shirt on. rolling
hack and forth. muttering and groan-
ing and vomiting Yes. he thought

ing from the effects OF an emetic
He could not swear be was drunk. He
was not a medical man but he was an
expert on DRINKS There was such
a row in the house that High Sheriff

He did not get out OF his buggy to do
this. A man on a bicycle took the
message TO the city

Love and that he had never seen Love
in a sober condition.
When Colonel Fitch took the wit
ness in hand he attempted to pin him
down TO specific instances OF Loves
drunkenness.
Doyle. however. remembered only
to have seen Love drunk sin the year

Doyle answered every question in an
indirect manner. His responses were
vague and he banded words with
the learned counsel
When Colonel Fitch insisted on
Doyle answering the questions. the
witness intimated that he would seek
the protection OF the court
Doyle testified in a vague kind Of
a way that he had at one time, while
standing on a corner. not on duty. seen

into her house Love was lying on
the grass. In a terrible state of int6x-
ication. and using fearful language
Doyle did not remember the exact
words. They were very bad. No. he
was not too sensitive to repeat the
words. he was callous."
How did he know il was Mrs. Roe
who was trying to get Love into the
house, lie did not see her face. he
did not hear her voice, he recognized
the lady by her shape.

would not answer questions in q direct
manner.
Judge Gear interfered about this
time. His Honor said: The wit

titude. He is evidently playing smart.
He is simply handying words with
the attorney. II he seeks the protec-
