The article in question was publish
ed on the strength OF q statement
made TO several representatives Oh
this paper by the interpreter Of the
Senate. The statement was a faithful
report Of the officers story as he told
it himself The same statement was
made by the Official TO several mem
bers OF the House OF Representatives.
The statement was made in apparent
IL was published as a matter of news
and no one regrets more than The Re
publican IL an innocent person has
been wronged.
Then the circus began Prender-
CAST wanted a written apology sent in
SO that ii could be published with the

Kaniho excitedly wanted the editor
TO appear before the House and make
an apology in person. The Speaker

TO go slow in regard TO this matter.
The Reverend Hihio said: Il do
not agree with the honorable member.

this House and / think we should do
something to make them know that
they have done US damage, and |

Sheriff Lyman in regard to the re-
appointment of Overend as Deputy

copies of the letters:
'R. A Lyman, Esq.
Deputy Sheriff Hawaii =
Dear Sir:-I have received your
letter OF the Goth asking that | give
you in writing, the reason have for
thinking IL best that you leave your
position as Deputy Sheriff in order
that you may tell your friends when
they ask you.
"In reply | have to say. that as /
have already shown you my cores
pondence with the High Sheriff on the
matter, II is somewhat superfluous
for me to put IL in writing again.
When | have been asked in regard 20
the matter. have replied that as you
had leased a large tract of your land
In Puma 10 the plantation, at a good
rental. there is not the necessity of
your knuckling down to hard work
that there was before. II seems to
me that with the large family Of
grown-up boys you have. all Of whom
are Industrious and earning good
money, this reason is enough to give
10 the public.
ITO your creditors who may have a
right TO further information, do not
know OF anything better to tell them.
than the truth. to wit: That l think
the best interests Of the department
require the services Of younger man
who can and will get all over the dis
trict the same as other deputies are
expected TO do. Further than this |
feel that Il is due to the public ser
vice 20 have IN training IL possible /
someone who will be fitted TO take the |
Sheriffs place when / step out
Whether Mr.. 0verend will prove the
right man for the place remains to be
seen. but he is certainly the most
promising of any of the deputies
have working under me on the Island |
OF Hawaii. Il
Yours truly,
Il. A. Andrews
while have entire confidence In |
your integrity as an officer and while |
you are robust for your age. you know
as well as do that age is beginning /
TO tell on you. as is evidenced by the
frequent head troubles you have. which /
for the time being practically incapa-
eitates you for work OF any sort
Il. A. A.
