Jury in Miamoto Case
Reach Verdict.

! 1t took the jury in the AIiamo-
| to Tori case just fifteen minutes yes
/ terday afternoon to reach verdict of
suicide.
/ The sensational testimony expected
did not materialize, although the jury
are of the opinion that if the truth
were known the cause leading up to the
death of the Japanese woman would be
1 interesting.
1t was impossible to get any Of the
witnesses to give evidence that would
throw any light on the reason why the
deed was committed, and in each in
stance the testimony was given on the
same lines, showing that the witnesses
were carefully prepared for the exam
nation.
Each one testified that there had
never been any trouble between the
man and wife, and during the after
noon it developed that the Japanese
named Ulchida, who had testified on
the night previous and had denied that
he knew that the woman had taken
poison, was fully aware of that fact.
DR.. Sam Kobayashi was the first
witness called and to the questions
propounded to him he replied that it
was his opinion that the woman came
to her death by taking insect powder.
He said that he was called to the
house between S and rs o'clock on the
afternoon of the 3rd of January and
found the woman was very i'll, but did
not think that she was in serious
condition.
He made an ante-mortem examina
ton and later the woman confessed to
n haf che hod fa f,11
of buhach powder in the presence of
her husband father-in-law and the
japanese, Ulchida. She would not tell
why she had committed the rash act.
DR. Shorey was the next witness
called and he claimed that eShad
made thorough microscopic examina-
ton of the powder found in the can
and it was his belief that it was not
the true buhach powder; but rather
commercial substitute, prepared from
leaves and stems and some vegetable
fibre, and should not be sold under the
name of "buhach."
A japanese woman named Singi said
that she had lived in the next room to
the dead woman for some time and
had never seen any evidence of trouble
between the husband and wife.
She claimed that she did not know
that poison had been taken and could
not be made to say anything further.
The inquest was rested at this point
and soon after the jury returned a YER
dict as follows: THAT the said Mia
moto at Honolulu, Island of Oahu,
came to her death at Honolulu, Island
of Oahu, on the 18th day of January,
A. D. 1901, from poisoning by taking
a certain poison, to-wit, insect pow
der manufactured by the Western
Chemical Company of Chicago, with
intent to commit suicide"

and from there she came on to San
