DID Up OFFICER AKAU
SERGEANT AND CORPORAL FINED
BY JUDGE WILCOX.
They and Some Other Soldiers From
Camp Mckinley Created Disturb
ance Last Saturday Night.

The military and the police had a
sweeping contest this morning before
Police Judge Wilcox. The soldiers out
numbered the police department four
to one but the court reserved it's deci-
sion until later in the day. The case
was that against II. II. Bennett V. w.
Strand Corporal A. Scanlon and Ser
geant W. Griffith charged with assault
and battery upon Police Officer o. X.
Akau.
According to the story told by Akau
the men We're causing disturbance
on Hotel street Saturday night after
the theater and he ordered them to
move on. They went mauka on Fort
street to the corner of King and there
began more noise. The officer followed
them and ordered them to desist and
Sergeant Griffith applied an opobrious
epithet to him. The officer then placed
him under arrest Akau was set upon
by Griffith and the other defendants
knocked down and kicked and beaten
about his face and body. w. l. Sabin
identified Griffith and Bennett as two
of the men whom he had see coming
from the crowd that had attacked the
officer
The defendants who were defended
by MeSsrs. Hankey and Strauss denied
having sworn at the officer or having
caused any disturbance. All We're unan-
imous in declaring that when the officer
placed his hand on Grifith's collar
Akau did not tell the soldier he was I'M
der arrest.
Griffith admitted that after the officer
caught hold of him he threw the officer
down and squeezed Akau's throat until
he had a chance to escape. The court
| took the case under advisement and in
the afternoon fined Griffith and Scanlon
S25 and costs each and discharged the
other two.
