GEORGE PARIS DISCHARGED

George II. Paris was discharged Of
contempt of court on a technically
this morning. Judge Robinson, who
had directed the order to show cause,
showed no change Of mind as to the
Offense having been committed, but
on the showing of counsel for the re-
spondent held that the order made was
deficient in not specifying precisely
the particulars.
The matter engaged the court an en-.
tire hour. Lorrin Andrews appeared
for the order and Edward NJ. Watson
for the respondent. Mr.. Watson took
mp the case, as he said, only within the
previous eighteen hours for his part.
ner. Frank E. Thompson who was
called out Of town.
After argument on different points,
Judge Robinson made the ruling alrea.
dy stated. The order to show cause
Is dismissed" the courts phrase, had
barely been uttered and the Judge was
still speaking when Mr.. Watson wav.
ed his hand at the respondent, who
took the hint instantly and bolted from
the court room.
Mr.. Andrews suggested something
that might be done while the respon-
dent was in presence Of the court, y
not yet being aware that Paris had
skipped. After noticing the absence
of the respondent, he went on to ask
for leave TO make out an amended Or
der. Something ought to be done, the
attorney contended, in the interest Df
justice. He limited at committal of
Paris on a charge of embeZZlement,
saying he had absolutely given no ac-
count of the 100000 received by him
self from Ashley & Paris from the
Waikiki Land & Loan Association.
Judge Robinson observed that a
court in equity could not deal with a
matter under criminal proceedings
When Mr.. Watson stated that Paris
was perfectly willing and ready to as
sist in obtaining a full and true ac'
counting from the books, the court re-
marked that the entire attitude aud
conduct of Mr.. Paris negatived this
profession of good faith. He had e.
fused to answer questions before the
master and had been fiippant in such
answers as he had given.
Finally, the matter was referred
back TO the master for an additional
report. The fresh hearing will give
Mr.. Paris an opportunity to make good
the assurances of his counsel. Should
he fail, another citation for contempt
will be inevitable.
J. NJ. McChesney, complainant in
the matter, was present at today's
proceedings.
