woman who died under very mysterious
circumstances on the night of Au
der of the japanese woman. The son
of Nakamura struck Tono's 10-year-old
son, Haida, with a rock, and when she
went to demonstrate with the father
he is said to have struck her several
times The woman died within a few
hours, and at the inquest held the fol-
| lowing day none of the witnesses wou.-.
testify against the Jap. The 10-year
old boy, Haida, alone testified to the
assault, the woman's husband refusing
to say anything that would incriminate
! Nakamura. The coroners jury attrib-
uted the. death of Tono to violence COM
mitted by persons unknown to them
and the Jap was released
| The evidence presented to the Grand
Jury was sufficient, and an indictment
was returned.

All QUONG RELEASED.
All Quong, the Chinese rapist, was
released by Judge Gear yesterday morn
! ing on writ of habeas corpus applied for
| by Attorney Brooks. The court took oc-
! casion to again air his opinion upon the
| constitutionality of the Hawaiian laws,
and even read the entire provision of the
! Organic Act, bearing upon this case. At
| torney General Dole stated that he did
not believe the law quoted had anything
| to do with the case and the court and
attorneys, after the opinion had been rem
dered, began to argue as to the merits
of the case, the court having previously
cut off all argument until he had order
ed the release of the prisoner. The
whole point at issue seemed to be wheth-
er the Supreme Court of Hawaii or the
Attorney General of the United States
were the ablest lawyers, and the ques-
ton apparently was not settled to the
satisfaction of either party to the con-
tention
For a while after the court had order
ed the release of the Chinaman, it looked
as if an effort was to be made to secure
his freedom in fact, well as in name.
Attorney F. NJ. Brooks kept the prison
er under his own surveillance in the
court room, while Detective KAPPA and
police officer lay patiently in wait on
1.-The outside of the court room All
Quong was longingly watching the door
to the library, and contemplating the
shortest road to liberty in that direc-
ton, when KAPPA carelessly strolled past.
That ended all thoughts of escape in
that manner and the Chinaman finally
left the court room in company with
his attorney. They walked together down
| the stairs, and All Quong breathed the
free air and watched the blue of the
heavens without molestation. though Ka-
apa seemed dangerously near He was
allowed to get several blocks from the
Judiciary building before KAPPA, who
had been following him on bicycle
took him into custody.
HARRISON VS.. MACON.
The evidence was concluded for plain
tiH before noon in the case of Harrison
VS.. Magoon, and the defendants then
moved for a non-suit. This was argued
Tor two hours during the afternoon, on
the ground that the case of plaintiff had
not been/proven, that the agents for the
to enter into contracts, and incur liabil-
tiles for the company, and defendants
| were not responsible for the acts of
agents who had no authority to act.
The argument will probably be ccnclud-
ed this morning
HORRIBLE CONDITION IN DIVORCE
CASE.
At noon the divorce case of Stella Nu-
nez VS.. Leonard Nunez was heard, and
the evidence presented some unusual ana
horribly revolving details The parties to
the case are Portuguese, and the con-
ditions were quite similar to those in the
Nobrega case, wherein the court recon-
mended the prosecution of the husband
for adultery, and allowed the wife, VINO
had been deserted for a younger wo-
man alimony to the amount of half the
estate, valued at thirty thousand dollars.
In this case it seems that the facts show
an even more deplerable state of cir
cumstances. The wife was deserted and
the husband not only is living with an
other woman, in open adultery, but that
woman is the sister of his first wife.
