four or five times" The Japanese con-
sui again interpOsed, but Hakuole
stuck to his rendition.
THE cook was looking at me saying
to the captain what's the matter cap
tain| l was told to come to the cab
in and started to get my apron but was
not allowed to by the captain. l asked
the cook and he got the apron for me.
When l had gotten it l went to the cab
in to work. After about 10 minutes l
took the coffee and returned. Then l
spoke to the cook explaining the story.
The cook was wearing slippers with
rubber soles on. He then took them
off and put on shoes like those of the
consul here. l said i have been ill
treated like this so 1 am not going to
work When 1 had said that 1 would
not work the cook said to me that he

that occasion he got it from his bed.
After he placed the pistol in his
pocket the captain arrived. The cap

l haG no trouble with him. The cook
was working at the table. l had no
words with the captain. l sat on an
orange box near my bed. There is an
| opening into the other apartment. The
cook and the captain began to fight
and L went to separate them
Here Tanbara objected to being Ques-
toned. He wanted to be allowed to
tell his story in his own way and tell
about the wages. After a lot of diff
Guilty he got back to the orange box.
THE trouble was that the cook only
! got $42 a month and said he ought to
have $45, as agreed.
"While he and the captain We're
! fighting 1 went to separate them. There
| was q cut on the captain. L saw Iue
cuts on the right of his face. l pick
| ed up the cook and took the knife
! away, as l did not wish the fight tc
continue. The cook escaped and a

captain had hold of me. The cook

weapon in my hand. l took the knife

Tanbara was the only witness fol
himself and the defense was closed by
noon. The case will go to the jury this
/ afternoon. United States Attorney
| Breckons' cross-eXamination of the de-
PENDANT was brief, but brought out q
number of disagreements between the
defendants story and the one he tolC
under oath before. 1t was impossible tC
get Tanbara to say directly now the
captain met his death. He declared
that he didn't know. on former ex-
aminations he has stated that he saw
the cook do the stabbing, and that the
captain met death by falling on the
knife He denied both this morning.
The argument will begin at 1870 this
afternoon and the case will probably
go to the jury before o'clock, as botf
counsel announced that the arguments
would take less than an hour and
half
