PROOF
Their Attorneys Want the
Sumner Case Continued Un-
til Their Testimony can be
Taken,

A motion was filed in the Circuit
court this morning by Thompson and
Watson, asking for continuance of
the John X. Sumner case to January
10, to allow time for the taking of de-
positions of John S. Ellis and William
5. Ellis, in San Francisco, and to get
the testimony of Bishop Gulstan In
an affidavit filed with the motion Mrs.
Victoria Ellis Buffandeau says that she
expects to prove by John S. Ellis the
existence of the trust and that it was
expressly agreed by all parties that it
should continue and the 5000 should
lemain part of such trust. The affi-
daVit also says.
That atfiant expects to prove and
VIII prove by said William S. Ellis. that
during the trial of proceedings to place
sald sumner under guardianship as an
insane person, had in the Circuit Court
OF the First Circuit, Territory of Ha-
wall, during the month of September
last, as alleged in the joint and sepa-
rate answer of the defendants William

was tired of being in court, and that in
order to pacify his sister Maria S. D9-
Wis, and to have all proceedings against
hlnl ana his property dismissed he. the
SAID sumner, would, with the consent
and approval of said benefciaries under
said Trust deed, give said Maria g. Da-
Wis, fifteen thousand ($15, ,000) dollarsS
that said William S. Ellis and the at
torneys of record for said Sumner in
said proceedings protested against any
settlement upon said Maria S. Davis:
that from day to day thereafter said
sumner renewed his wish to settle said
proceedings as aforesaid until said
benehciaries under said trust deed
finally consented to the payment of
said sum of fifteen thousand (S15000)
dollars to said Maria S. Davis for the
purpose aforesaid.
That thereafter with the consent Of
said William S. Ellis, John S. Ellis and
aftiant, and with the consent and at the

v. A. WRIGHT IS
RELEASED
BY Gear
The Judge Holds He was not
Properly sCommitted-W
Immediately RearreSted on
new Warrant,

Walter C. Wright was released by
Judge Gear this morning on habeas
corpus, on account of Irregularities in
his commitment on Kauai, and was
Immediately rearrested on warrant
sworn TO by Deputy Attorney General
E. A. Douthitt, charging him with the
embezzlement of public funds.
Judge Gear held that the defendant
had not been given his legal right to a
preliminary examination before being
committed for trial at the Circuit
court In his decision the judge said
that there had been no reasons given
for the failure to give a preliminary
examination, and that he was satisfied
that there had been no legal waiver
thereof The court might have gone
into the question Of whether there was
evidence sufficient to warrant holding
the defendant, said the judge, but no
evidence had been produced and as the
former commitment to the next term
of the Fifth Circuit Court was void,
the prisoner must be discharged.
Warrants had been prepared in anti
cipauOn OF the decision, and the old
scene that was so often enacted when
the transition cases were up was re-
peated, except that the officer was al
lowed to arrest Wright within the
court house. Deputy Attorney General
Cathcart wanted to know if the defend
ant would sumbit to arrest in the court
house and his attorney E. c. PetFs
agreed to allow it. In a former case
Judge Gear ordered the High Sheriff
to imprison himself for one hour, for
making an arrest at the door of the
court room. es
Gears decisihn did not go into the
matter of excessive bail or any of the
questions raised except one, holding
ha +
touched upon was sufficient. Wright
was taken before Judge De Bolt and
bail was fixed at $4,000. Julge Hardy
formerly fixed it at 5000.

SAILOR FILLS
FROM MAIN TRUCK
DEATH SEEMED CERTAIN BUT HE
WAS SAVED BY STRIKING ON
CANVAS AWNING.

Aboard the s. S. Sonoma is a remark
able man. 1t would take more than the
tabled nine lives of a cat to pull the
ordinary individual through the mar
row escapes from death that have
marked the career of this man. His
name is Thompson and he is an able
seaman in the crew of the SonOma.
On December when at Sydney he
was seating in the boatswains chair
slung to the main truck about so feet
above the promenade deck of the Sono-
ma, engaged in cleaning the gilt ball
thaktOps the mainmast He was stand
ing up in the rickety platform without
the precautions of lashing himself in.
A bolt of lightning broke above him
and seemed to those below to strike the
mainmast. Thompson lost his balance
and fell headlOng from the bOatswain's
chair toward the deck. His death SEEM
ed certain. But an instant elapsed
from the time that he fell until he
struck the deck, but to the few of his
shipmates who happened to see him
in his descent, it must have been a
period If awful and in -erminabe 81 s.
pense. He struck Oh the heav can
vas awning that shaded the promenade
deck. The two by four-inch beam that
supported the awning was snapped off
and the man rolled about six feet to
the deck.
Instead of finding him a mass of
broken bones, the sailors who went to
his side found the man alive. He was
sent to the hospital whe.e an eX9min-
alton disclosed the startling fact that
beyond a bad shaking up he had sus-
tanned no fractures or serious injuries.
Within three days he was back at
work aboard the vessel and is still a
member of the Sonoma's crew. Thomp-
was the third time he has fallen from
aloft.
Two fatalities occurred two days be-
fore the accident however. Several
mechanics from shore were at work
making some repairs to the vessel
while she was on the drydock and fell
down the hatch into the coal bunkers
and were killed. They did not belong
to the Sonoma's crew

cannot help hoping that some mistake
has been made in the date. / trust the
Sierra will bring better news tomorrow
assuring US that the delay is not so
lengthy as this would lead one to be-
lieve.
1T is of course possible that the
weather has entirely precluded opera
tions during the delay. 1t is a very
bad landing off the Cliff House and the
big waves come in with undiminished
force. There is no protecting reef to
intervene over there. If the Fanning's s
island date is correct. If the Tanning
shall have to postpone celebrations and
arrival of the Silverton until 1903. If
she got most favorable conditions.
Christmas on the cable ship will be
spent at sea the way things look at
present.
"As to the break that is readily un-
derstOod by those who have noted that
shore. The modus oprandi is as fol-
lows. A big block is set up on shore
and a hawser reeved through from the
ship around the pulley and back to the
ship again. To this the end of the
cable aboard is bent on and hauled to
the shore where it will be spliced to the
land end. This satisfactorily accom-
plished the Silverton will be ready to
start southwards paying out line con-
'stantly connected with the mainland.
I'm a heavy sea it would be a hard
matter to handle a boat to get the
hawser. With bad weather on a coast
vice versa and while l was there we
contemplated using life saving rockets
to send across the regulation thin line,
then a heavier one and after that the
hawser. ith bad weather on a coast
like that the work is always liable to
1al9Vs No effort will ha tn oat
the connection made as soon as pos
sible and such accidents are not en-
tirely without them.
There will be no such difficulty at
this end l think. The protecting reef
leaves a sea in the lagoon which, unless
there is a south wind blowing will not
lay any great difficulty in the way. The
same arrangement will be rugged up
here with the big block and tackle"

CAPTAIN SEBREE
NAAAL GOVERNOR
OF TUTILA HERE

Captain Uriel Sebree, the
Naval Governor of Tutuila, is a
passenger aboard the S. S. So
noma. He is going to the main
land on a months leave. He
visited the local naval station
during the stay of the vessel in
port today.
Affairs are very quiet and
uneventful at Tutuila," said
Captain Sebree. Everyone is
good. We have a Jail ashore at
Pago Pago and with one excep-
ton there has not been a ma
tive incarcerated there for the
last six months. A few of my
sailors whom l do not confine
in the ships brig are sent to this
shore prison.
1.-The scare over the volcanic
activity on the Island of Savii
has ended. L talked with the
officers of the little steamer
which plies between Pago Pago
and the other Samoan islands
and was informed that the ma
tives had gotten over their
alarm. There was perhaps a
little smoke issuing from the
volcano, but the people had re-
turned to their homes"
