WADE MURDER TRIAL
EVIDENCE ALL IN THIS MORN
ING.
The Only Witness Contradicts His
Former Testimony and Says He "Ex-
aggerated" Under Oath Last Time.

The George Wade murder trial was
nearly finished this morning before
Judge Gear, and will probably go to
the jury this afternoon. The prOsecu-
ton has put on only two witnesses to
testify about the killing, and the only
witness for the defense was United
States District Attorney j. J. Dunno,
who had known Wade a long time, and
knew that his reputation as a peaceful
citizen, in Liverpool, England and in
San Francisco, was very good.
The testimony of DR.. Wood, who at
tended Gillespie after he had been shot,
and sydney G. Boyd, butcher of the
Australia, who was supposed TO be the
man for whom the bullets that killed
Gillespie We're intended, made up the
prosecutions case, all other witnesses
being away. Boyd was such a reluct-
ant witness and so forgetful after he
reached the crucial point in his testi-
mony, that Attorney General Cathcart
impeached him and went back to the
police court record for his former tes-
timOny. When CrOss-eNamined and
Conered, Boyd explained his police
court statement of what occurred by
saying 81 must have exaggerated %
Judge Gear this morning refused to
allow Biting for the defense to offer
evidence to show that Wade was very
drunk when the shooting occurred. 1t
was held that as Cathcart did not ask
for a verdict of murder in the first de-
| gree, such evidence was not admIssi-
Ible
| High Sheriff Brown was placed on
| the stand and clerk Fabian of the dis
| trict court. The record of testimony
/ taken was introduced, showing Boyd S
clear description of how Wade stood
over the PROSTATE form of Gillespie
after he had shot him once, and shot
him again. This time BOyd's testi-
mony was positive to the effect that h,
saw no second shot fired at Gillespie al
all. The fact that Wade had pleaded
guilty of murder in the second degree
was kept from the jury.
All the evidence was in by about l.
o'clock, and Biting finished his argu
ment for the defense by noon At
this afternoon Cathcart began his ar
gUment for the prosecution.

WAIALUA is WRECKED
DRIVEN ASHORE AT ANAHOLA on
SUNDAY.
Kauai News Brought today by MiSa-
hala-Three other schooners Safe at
Koloa-Twllight Not Reported.

The MikahalG arrived this morning
from Kauai with the news 0f the la.s of
the schooner Waialua at Anahola sun
day afternoon. The schooner was driv-
en- ashore by the heavy northeast wind
which has been prevailing since last
week and according to advices brought
by the Mikahala, was a total loss NJ
lives were reported as being lost.
The loss of the Waialua rs not a sur
prise, for it has been expected that re-
ports of wrecks of island schooners
would be received i'm consequence OF this
storm. The loss of the Waialua seems
rather a bad piece of luck as she had
just gone into commission after having
been hauled off the shore of Kaanapaii
in January. lit is thought that she is
total wreck this time and there is
little hope of her being saved.
The Mikahala brought news of the
safety Of several other island schOoners.
The Luka, Ia Moi and Alice Kimban
were at kOlOa disChargiug brickettes
and were apparently i'm no danger when
the steamer left that port yesterday.
Nothing was heard of the schooner TWi-
light That vessel was reported as
bound for Hanalei several days ago but
whether she got there or not was not
reported. A schooner was seen To the
southwark, by the Mikahala, heading
apparently for Waimea on Tuesday.
That boat may have been the Twilight.
The steamer Ke Au HOu was weather
bound at Hanalei as it was too rough at
hllauea to remain at that port
The Waialua was owned by +. G..
Carrera. She left here last week with
a small cargo and deck load of lum-
Der for Anahola and Hanamaulu. Cap
tain Irving was in command Of her.
The vessel was of about % tons bur
den and was valued at $500. There is
some insurance.

Room FOR JUDGES
FIREPROOF VAULT FOR THE
COURT RECORDS.
Proposed Alterations in the Upper Floor
Of the judiciary Building-Robinson'
Temporary Court

The judiciary building will soon be
rearranged up stairs in view Of the need
of three circuit COurtTOOms hereafter.
The matter has already been discussed
by the judges and Superintendent of
Public Works Boyd, and IL is thought
that with a little expenditure the floor
can be redivided so that there will be
plenty of space for all.
1t is proposed to make four court
rooms, leaving one for the use of the
Supreme court and one each for the
three circuit judges. The Judges cham
bers, instead of being large rooms, big
enough for courts, will be smaller Off
ces of the courtroom. such as serve for
chambers in most other cities. The
three Supreme justices and the two cir
cult judges now have private quarters
as large as their courts.
Another need of the building is a fire
proof vault for records. There is an
appropriation of $500 for this purpose.
If a fire should visit the building. years
OF records, probate and other, might
be utterly destroyed and millions of
dollars i'm various estates might be tied
up. Records of litigation that could not
be replaced would pass out Of existence,
and endless trouble would follow.
Space for jury rooms will also have to
be found, There is only one jury room
in the building now, and it is a source Of
many complaints The grand jury has
the room occupied regularly by the
court reporters. 1t viii have to serve
Judge Robinson for court room until
alterations have been made. There is
no room tOD him to use as chambers.
Judge Robinson is expected TO take
the bench on February 26. His COM
mission should arrive ON the 18TH. Judge
| Humphreys yesterday set the 26th as
! the day for resuming calling the court
! calendar, expecting that Robinson
would be ready to take it up at that
! time.

beyond the hopes Of the promoters.

the relief of the order and delivered
a clear and instructive address on

credit and gained the commenda-
ton of all hearers. Mr.. Otey re-
sponded on behalf of Fort Adams

ming was delightfully."- spent by the

A generous people, as they always
are in cases Of this kind, came to the
Hall on the evening of the I'D, and
very literally patronized the different
booths of the ladies who had worked
so hard to make suitable articles to
sell, and also patronized the supper
room where it took equally as hard
work to make ready palatable dishes,
for all of which the ladies in charge
extend heartfelt thanks. Donations
and personal assistance of friends were
gladly accepted, and each and every
one are gratefully remembered. The
total amount received is nearly Two
Hundred Dollars. The Woman's
Guild, Of st. Paul's Episcopal Church,
went to work some weeks ago to get
up this sale, and start fund towards
needed repairs on Church and Rectory,
and they are much encouraged. The
Vestry feel like this Guild is truly an
auxiliary, doing so much to keep up
the church property.

Kings Daughters:
The Library belonging to the G. r.
Circle Of Kings Daughters is a pleas
ure to the entire community. They
purchase the new books and have the
best work of late novelists. These
books are rented for the modest sum
of ten cents per week. AS new books
are never cheap, it will take some time
for the rental to cover the expense in
Cured in purchasing the library, For
some time past the ladies have been
seriously annoyed by having the. books
kept out for weeks at a time, and some
times never returned. Again one per-
son will take out book and lend it to
anumber of friends before returning
it to the library. The ladies earnestly
request that the above errors will not
be continued, and beg that those hav-
ing books belonging to their library
will return them at once.

here the following morning, where
they will make their future home. Mr..
Cherbonnier came to our town two
years ago, a stranger to our people,
and accepted a position with Mr.. q.

now, as hisgenial disposition and mar
ly character has gained for him friends
among all who know him, and their
friendship was attested by the many
handsome presents he received. These
young people have been friends since
childhood days, and have drank of the
cup of joy together when cares were
strangers to them; hence they are bet
ter fitted to face the future and pluck
the roses Of happiness, leaving the
thorns Of sorrow. To this happy cou-
pie we extend our heartiest congratu-
lations and join in the hope that their
future lives may pass as one bright
May-day, and happiness and prosperity
always attend them, and it may all be
found in our little town where hospi-
tally and good will to all holds sway.
