2 The extent to which the Thurs
g ton gang is determined to go in
3 it's efforts to injure Judge Hum
g phreys is shown by fake in
s terview which appeared in the
g San Francisco Chronicle of
3 June "a. Whether or not the
g Chronicle was imposed upon or
g whether it was clear case OF
g selling it's columns. for which 1T
g is notorious, the Republican can
8 not say at this time, but 1t mas
3 taken measures to secure all the
g facts so as to lay them before
g the people of this city. The pur-
3 ported interview with Judge
3 Humphreys, which is given here
3 with, was published in the
g Chronicle of Monday, June "a. 1t
g represents that Judge Humz
9 phreys had been interviewed by
8 a reporter for that paper after
/. his arrival in San Francisco the
3 afternoon before. AS matter of
g fact no reporter for the Chron-
|. icle secured any interview from
Z Judge Humphreys and the whole
|. story is a fake, pure and simple.
/. In a short message to the edf-
s tor of the Republican, received
yesterday, bearing date June %
3 Judge Humphreys says:
'"The Chronicle of the oath had
an article which I think must
|. have been sent from Honolulu.
1t was a fake pure and simple.
3 I would particularly call your at
tention to my interview in the
3 Examiner of the same date,
2 which covers all said upon the
: subject to any one"
OF course the friends of the
2 Judge needed no assurance from
him that the purported inter-
; view was a fake as soon as they
; put into his mouth is the follow
ing sentence: There would be
no necessity for submitting it
(the question of annexation to
California; to the people of the
Islands at ALL"
Judge Humphreys has been
charged by the Thurston gang
with being almost everything,
but even they have never charg-
ed him with being a fool. No one
who knows the Judge would for
one moment believe that he
would be fool enough to make
such a statement as this. 1t only
shows that in their effort to in
jure him the Thurston libellers
and bIackmailers have over
reached themselves.
The Republican learned enough
yesterday to assure it that the
alleged interview was prepared
in this city and sent away on
the steamer China, it being part
of deeply laid plot. It will be
remembered that the Advertiser
and it's evening echo, the Star,
came out charging Judge Hum
phreys with being the engineer
of a scheme to annex Hawaii to
California about the time they
expected the fake interview to
be published in San Francisco.
1t will also be remembered that
the Advertiser and the Star both :
have repeatedly declared that {
people should anxiously watch :
the Mainland papers coming in :
on yesterdays mail, thus show
ing that they knew what was
coming In their faked-up inter
view. And in their zeal to be
sure and have people anticipat- Z
ing 1t they gave away the fact
that they were cognizant of
what was coming.
All this despicable work is 9
what may be expected from the 2
Thurston gang. who will stop
at no dirty work to injure a man 9
whom they cannot control. 3
Here follows the alleged inter- 3
view in full and people of Ho- 3
nolulu who know Judge Hum 9
phreys have only to read 1t to 3
see that 1t is untrue In. every
essential.
