cree of the court. Unless an appeal is
perfected in the meantime, Tanbara

otto, the cook. was discharged yester-
day upon motion of United States At
torney Breckons, and he not only es-
capes punishment, but receives the
same amount of fees paid to the sailors
of the Fred j. Wood who were also
held as witnesses. Mr.. Breckons made
every effort to secure evidence against
the cook and though he felt that otto
| had a hand in the crime, he was UNI
able to fix guilt upon him.
TANBARA NOT AFFECTED.
Tanbara took his sentence with stolid
indifference. He was escorted into the
court room as usual at ten o'clock in
the morning, there being a large audi
ence present to witness the scene. The
prisoner was called before the bar, and
upon the order of Judge Estee the in
dictment was interpreted to him. He
| was then asked If he had anything to
say why sentence should not be passed,
to which he said he had not. His at
torney, f. l.. Thompson, also said he
! had no statement to make.
| Judge Estee then delivered the SEN
tence, telling the defendant that he had
| been duly convicted by a jury, after
defense by able counsel, who did every
thing possible for him. The formal or
der of the court was then delivered as
| follows:

PENDANT, Tanbara Gisaburo, was
brought to the bar of this Court, in the

| and it being demanded of him what
| he has to say or can say, why the sem

| the twenty-siXth day of October, in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and two, shall not now be pro-
nounCed against him, he says he has
nothing further or other to say than he

"Whereupon, the premises being seen,
and by the Court well and sufficiently

M NJ ESTEE.
Judge"
Tanbara showed no outward indiCa-
ton of any effect the death sentence
may have had upon him, though he
walked rather unsteadily from the court
room with the marshal. He was re-
moved Immediately to oahu Prison and
will be guarded day and night until the
date of the execution.
OTTO GOES FREE.
OTTO was as unconcerned as usual
when he appeared in court at the same
hour as Tanbara, Mr.. Breckons imme-
diately asked that the cook be allowed
to go free, saying in his motion:
THAT said United States Attorney
has carefully and thoroughly investi-
gated this entire matter, his investiga-
ton covering the period from the 9th
day of August, \. ID. 1902, to the pres
ent time; that he has talked with all
persons present at the time of the homi-
eide; that he has had all the effects
of the said 5. Oto examined in order to
ascertain whether there were any
blood-stains on any of said effects: and
N''''' SN''N'''iS AltbNf as Il matter pl
fact, the said $. OTTO was an accessory
to the crime, he has done everything
in his power to secure legal evidence
showing that fact
las result of said investigation, the
said United States Attorney now states
that, In his opinion. there is not suf-
ficient evidence to hold said $. OTTO, and
that, should an indictment be found
against him, and his trial result in a
conviction, that the Court would set
aside any verdict as being rendered on
insufficient evidence.
And the said United States Attor-
, ney further states that the only evil
dence which could be secured coupling
said $. OTTO with the commission of said
crime, would be that OF the sold de-
