Judge Rebuked the Father of a
Hayward Small Boy-Seven-
teen Assault Gases.

Or trial yesterday morning IN the LIS
riot Court was that in which John Pr
er appeared as complainant and Geo.
soenitz, Burnhard Bruhn, Emil Tschu-
nj and Max Gasefield, alias r. Guse-
ield, figured as defendants.
Attorneys Strauss and Cunha appear |
ID for the prosecution and George A.
Davis conducted the defense.
The evidence went to show that de-
PENDANTS were boarders in an estau-
lishment conducted by Mr.. Piver.
Things failed to flourish with the
worthy landlord and when rent day
came around he was unable to make
good Then the Teutons came to the
rescue, paid the rent and proceeded to
run the establishment, Piver becoming
the star boarder.
After eating among his friends for
week he was informed that his bill,
which amounted to 1888, was due and
payable Piver demonstrated and was
invited to settle his account or seek
shelter elsewhere. Being in the minor
ity he sought and found. Now Piver's
itors as security for rent paid and
board furnished.
Time fed and Piver came to the con-
clusion. that he needed change of un-
derwear and a clean collar SO he visited
the camp of the Germans and made over
lures for a little haberdashery &C
count. The possessors of his trimmings
were obdurate however, and intimated
that when the money was paid in full
the goods would be delivered and not till
then. incidentally Piver organized a
raid, but that is another story.
Complainant testified tnat finally, on
Monday last, he went to the Teutonic
settlement and rendered the 9:33. Emil
Tschumi invited him to enter the house
and hei went in. When inside Tschumi
asked him if he had referred to him and
his friends IN uncomplmentary terms and
Pixer admitted the impeachment. Then
without warning a storm of blows de-
scended upon the unfortunate man and
when the shower had passed Piver wore
an eye which resembled an overripe
plum as we'll as other tokens of the
fray.
Tschumi was the only man against
whom a case could be made out The
others wriggled out of the predicament
successfully.
Max Gusetield alias R Gusefeld. gar
rulous little son of the Fatherland kept
the court amused by his ludicrous at
tempts to soar to the heights of dignity.
Did you strike Piver?" queried Judge
Wilcox.
"Ach no." was the answer. AS he was
leaving the witness stand he turned
round and begged leave to make re-
mark. Said he:
~ did not strike him, but l think l
ought to have done So
Never mind what you ought to have
DONE" roared one of the prosecuting at
tornies, what we are interested In Is,
did you strike the man"
When all the evidence had been heard
Attorney Strauss asked that the cases
against Roenitz, Bruhn and Gusefeld be
nolle pros'd The motion was allowed.
Judge Wilcox wound up the case as fol-
lows:
This occurrence is exceedingly unfor-
tunate and the method taken to settle
/ the difficulty altogether wrong. the
matter is today further from a Satisfac-
| tory settlement than ever. Assault and
/ battery cases are getting to be altogether
| too numerous in Honolulu and / shall &c
| all in my power to put stop to them
| Why, on the calendar before me, seven
teen out of twenty nine cases are of as
sault and battery. l fine defendant So

part of months salary appeared te
stagger Tschumi who instructed his at
| torney to give notice of appeal.

with larceny in the second degree was
continued until today. Defendant who is
boy of about ten years is alleged t.

The father said that the boy was alto
gether too big a handful for him to man
age. a statement which caused his homo
to remark:
IF ] couldn't manage a boy like tina
I would ask somebody to kick me. Yo'
ought to instruct him to clear out tn
woodshed and then go in and interview
him for a while. You would do bette
to stay home and let your wife wear tn
trousers"
