had passed within three days, he hav-

usual and caused some comment in the
shop, and recent events made the men
sharpen their memories. as they have
discussed the case to a great extent.
Al the time Boyle says he saw Wright
on Alakea street, bound down toward
the waterfront, there were policemen
on the Alameda making a search of the
vessel and very soon after. that time,
at least before ~ o'clock, High Sheriff
Brown was standing on the dock, with
his men, and later he too Joined in the
search. As the evidence of the hack
driver showed that Wright went aboard
the ship, or at least into the dock an

REQuIsITION FOR WRIGHT.
Special officer McDunie, the giant of
the police department, is speeding tow
ards San Francisco in the steamship
Sierra armed with requisition papers
signed by Governor Dole and addressed
to Governor Gage of California to use
there in case he finds w II. Wright, the
abscondng treasurer of the Territory
of Hawaii The officer was sent to San
Francisco in the Sierra which left Ho-
nolulu on Wednesday and he will
doubtless arrive at his destination some
time on Tuesday next.
McDutiie was chosen by the High
Sheriff as a man well equipped for his
mission. Although recent acquisition
he is recognized as one of the best men
in the department, and he carries a
level head on his shoulders which are
broad and strong and his muscular
frame suggests that if he once lays his
hands on the missing Treasurer the
latter will have no opportunity of slip
ping away from him.
The request for requisition papers on
the Governor of California came from
Dole and was directed
to Governor Dole. The latter signed the
papers, which state that a warrantsfor
Wright's arrest had been returned to
the officials in Honolulu unserved. Nc
Duffie carries credentials in the way of
a special police commission signed by
Governor Dole, letters to prominent at
torneys in San Francisco who are re-
quested to give the officer assistance
in case Wright is brought into court of
justice and the High Sheriff presented
him with letters to Chief of Police Witt
man of San Francisco and other police
officials of California. No detail was
left uncovered to give the officer every
opportunity under the law to bring the
absconding treasurer back to Hawaii.
Wright is supposed to have landed in
San Francisco last Tuesday if the Ala
media made the trip in her usual time
The length of McDuffie's stay on the
coast will be determined by that officer
after looking over the situation.
