Closing of Circuit Court
Term at Waikiki
Maui.

The following story OF the closing
scenes in the Circuit Court at Wailuku,
Maui, came from a correspondent by
the Mauna Loa this morning:
Wailuku. June 23-Today saw the
last criminal case on the calendar dis
posed Of to the satisfaction of the gov
eminent, some thirty-three cases in all
having received the attention of the
court.
Shortly after the opening of court
there being lull in business. the act.
ing Deputy Attorney General. d. n.
Case, arising and stating that he con.
sidered II an opportune moment to
make few remarks, spoke as follows:
Your Honor and gentlemen. | wish
to say Just a few words as to the gen.
lehman drawn and empanneled as ju.
rors during this term OF court. I do
not do this for the purpose OF praising
these men to their faces, or for the
purpose Of flattery, but we have had.
as you all know. an extraordinarily
large criminal calendar composed of all
kinds of cases-Cases against haoles,
Hawaiians. Portuguese, Chinese, ia.
pan and Porto Ricans.
Il have now resided in Hawaii siS
years. and am free to say feel very
much like a kamaaina. In that time
have sedn many juries. As your Honor
knows, and as many OF those present
know, for some years past have acted
a nHfTfa1 Ff.V
courts throughout the Islands. and have
met with all kinds Of juries, but am
free TO admit IL has never been my
pleasure to appear before fury so freq
from race feeling or prejudice.
In view Of the political difficulties
that occurred here In the early ninoties,
Il was hut natural that prejudice and
race feeling should result. but II GER
| tainly Is a great satisfaction to us all
TO witness its disappearance from year
10 year more and more, until today II
is almost thing Of The past.
1t has never been my pleasure to SEQ
q jury. composed largely OF Hawaiians,
as is our present jury 30 fair and i'm
partial in every way. They have sin.
cerely tried and have succeeded in act
ing honestly and ConsCientiously upon
every case brought before them. Not
only is this true as between the natives
| on one hand and the haoles on the
other, but the Asiatics have been dealt
with in just as fair manner as though
they were fellow citizens. / am sure
this is a matter OF great satisfaction
TO us all, and wish at this time to eX-
tend to the Court and its officers, and
to the jury In particular. the thanks
OF the Attorney Generals Department,
and my personal thanks, for the can
did. earnest and thoughtful consider.
alton they have given to every matter
presented at this term of court"
Mr.. Pogue, one OF the jurors, here
said: Il have only TO say that as far
as the Attorney General Is concerned
he certainly has been very considerable
with the jury, but OF course do not
speak for anyone but myself"
Mr.. Carley another juror, then threw
| Mr.. Case. a little bouquet in the fol.
lowing words:
May it please your Honor and the
Attorney General, ! must give my
thanks for the expressions that have
been used by the Attorney General
and think that the jurymen who hay,
served at this term will bear me out IN
saying that we have been very vel
treated, and wish to thank the Attorney
General and the Court for the courte
