Bail.
Conductor Pixley. principal witness
in the JonesParmenter murder trial,
is once more n free man as far as
prison walls are concerned. He is still
under $1,000 bonds but bondsmen have
appeared In the shape of ten of his
fellow conductors and Pixley will col
! lect fares as usual this morning.
| Manager Ballentyne's strenuous eff
forts to get Pixley free from police
restraint We're supplemented on Sat
urday by the action of the Motormen's
Union. which took up the matter and
brought all possible influence to bear.
AS a result of their labors Pixley
walked out from Oahu Jail where he
was under the genial but firm restraint
of Tailor Henry, comparatively free
man. This was on Saturday afternoon
when Mr.. Henry was absent, but all
formalities had been complied with
through the High Sheriff who now
holds $1,000 in U. s. gold coin in lieu
of the person of Conductor Pixley.
Manager Ballentyne stated last even
ing that he expected Pixley to go to
work this morning. Pixley himself has
been extended considerable sympathy
in his unfortunate predicament. The
| ten conductors have deposited 800
apiece to make up the REQUIRED sum.
! 1t Is said that the money came from
another actual source than the pockets
of the men who deposited the same
and that the political influence of the
large membership of the motormen's
or conductors union was an important
factor in securing the necessary
amount.
JONES WILL PLEAD.
The reserved plea of Edward NJ.
Jones. arraigned on Saturday for the
murder of Mrs. Linda X. Jones, will
be made by his counsel, A. c. NJ. Rob
ertson this morning, before Judge

tered.
JONES'S PLAN.
When Jones told Deputy Sheriff
Chillingworth the story of his frustrat-
ed plan of escape he stated to the
sheriff that his original intention in
crossing to the windward side of the
| island was to get over to Koolau.
Once there, with the few remaining
cartridges in his revolver, he Durposed
holding up Captain Moses and forcing
the skipper at the muzzle of the pistol
to put sail on his schooner and convey
him to Kailua, Hawaii, where he once
lived in earlier days.
"Once in Kailua," said Jones to the
sheriff, you never would have got me
l know the place too we'll"
Jones had no definite plan of action
arranged with regard to landing from
the schooner and went no further than
the resolve to compel CAPTAIN Moses
to do his bidding. AS is known ne
failed to cross the range at all and
starvation and exposure brought hin
in voluntary prisoner.
