TxHE crater Of Diamond Head yes
q terday yielded up mystery whici
3 it has held in its embrace TO
nearly a year. A skeleton wal
found shortly after o'clock by soldier
from camp Mckinley in the mauk;
was fairly well identified as that o
Ernest C. Hornet. the jeweler who dis
Iappeared mysteriously last September
The remains of the unfortunate maj
We're scattered over a radius of twenty
five feet and some difficulty was expe-
| rienced in gathering the parts together
and bringing them to the police sta
| ton. The clothing. shoes, hat. neck
| tie and filling in the teeth, together
with the identifying statements made
employer, all tend to prove that the
gruesome remains were those of Hor-
nef.
| The discovery was made by Sergeant
Bales, 67th Company Coast Artillery, of
Camp Mckinley, and another soldier.
Both were out exploring around Dia-
mond Head, outside and inside, in quest
of ancient burial caves. On going down
into the crater from the mauka side
they found a skull lying under some
kiawe bushes. They found other bones
scattered around. They took notice of
the appearance of the skull, teeth and
clothing, and then made haste to re-
turn to Camp Mckinley, from which
they telephoned to the police depart
ment.
High Sheriff Brown and Depaty Sher-
iff Chillingworth went to the crater on
horseback, accompanied by Sergeant
Bales. The underground was heavy all
around the place where the bones were
lying and this seemed to indicate that
the man had not fallen into the crater
as the bushes would have stopped the
body farther up the slope. The skull
was in one place, the clothing in an
other, the shoes elsewhere, and the Of
ficers believe that dogs or other animals
scattered them about.
The skull was lacking the lower jaw,
but several teeth We're found. One was
filled with gold and this was connected
by bridge work with another lower
jaw tooth was filled with amalgam. The
clothes We're in such poor condition
that the officers could not bring them
to town. There was a shoe which was
of the tan variety and was made by
the Hamilton-Brown Co. The officers
also found a straw hat with a black
ribbon about it. but it was also falling
to pieces and could not be taken away
The collar is of the low, straight,
standing type. about a sixteen in size,
and the necktie, of black satin, is of
the ready made bow kind which faStens
with a hook at the back of the collar.
The collar and tie are both of the kind
usually worn by Hornet. The skull,
collar, tie, shoe, teeth, a small tin cir
cular-shaped box, silk handkerchief,
a roller top desk key. a Yale door key
No. 26197, and a half pint flask which
may have contained liquor or poison,
were brought To the police station
Mr.. Wichman was communicated
with and gave the Deputy Sheriff suffi-
cient points of identification to lead
him to believe that the remains are
those of Hornet.
Deputy Sheriff ChiilinGworth brought
all the articles and parts of anatomy 10
