natives, gathered in and about the Su-
preme Court this morning to watch the
proceedings in the election contest case.
All the seats in the court room wete
taken and the corridor was filled with
people trying to hear and see what was
going on, and showing great interest
in the proceedings. The case was tame
enough after it began, consisting of dry
legal argument and the reading of the
petition, demurrer and plea to the juris-
diction of the court.

THE CASE AGAINST I. M. JONES
ATTORNEY GENERAL ANDREWS TELLS WHAT HE EX-
PECTS TO PROVE-COUNSEL OBJECT TO HIS EX.
PRESSING THE OPINION THAT THE CASE IS ONE OF
COLD FLOODED MURDER

The Jones murder trial was fairly
started this morning before Judge Gear
and a jury. The bullet which caused
the death of Mrs. Parmenter was m
troduced in evidence and three wit
nesses were examined and cross-eXam-
ined, before an adjournment was TAX
en- to 1870 this afternoon, when the
hearing was resumed.
Attorney General Andrews opened the
case with a statement of what he eN-
pected to prove, closing his statement
with a remark that in his opinion the
facts showed cold blooded murder,
whereupon ]. ]. Dunno for the defense
made an objection and the court told
the jury to disregard the expression.
I'VE shall show" said Attorney Cen
eral Andrews, after reading the indict-
ment, that the defendant was tire
former husband of Mrs. Parmeptcr's s
daughter and that his wife secured a
divorce from him on account of his
cruelty, also that he had been arrested
and convicted of assault and battery on
both his former wife and mother-in-
law, and that he had a number of times
n reatauad 10 kill them.
I'VE shall show that on. the night of
August % the defendant was riding up
on the same car with his former wife
as far as Thomas Square and that at
Thomas Square he got off the car and
went to his own home to get a pistol
with which to carry out the threats to
kill which he had made He got a pis-
tol and al the same time a bottle of
wine to give him courage to do the
deed he had determined upon. He took
the. car again near his house and got
off close to the home of Mrs. Parmen-
ter on Kinau street.
"At the Parmenter residence he took
off his shoes and hat and crawled up
on the stoup to look in the window. He
saw his former wife sleeping. He sat
in the hammock and went to sleep, pos
sibly slightly overcome by the wine he
had taken. While he was sleeping
Mrs. Parmenter heard him and went

out alarmed. She saw Jones and was
much frightened and sent Mrs. Jones TO
ask the police for help.
while Mrs. Jones was away Mr..
Pixley, who lived next door and did not
know any of the parties, was return
ing from his work as a conductor. Mrs
Parmenter called to him and asked him
to stay until the police came, and he
came in. officer Kane came and seeing
Jones apparently asleep and harmless
went away to get the patrol wagon.
He had hardly gone when Jones,
whether he had been asleep or merely
feigning, jumped up pistol in hand. He
was seen by PiXley and Mrs. Parmen-
ter and the former ran, Jones chasing
him for a short distance. Mrs. Par
mented stood in the middle of the street
crying out. Jones ran at her and she
cried out Pau, Eddie, Pau. He said
I'll show you what's pau and shot at
her. missing. Mrs. Jones ran out, ask
ing her mother what was the matter,
whereupon Jones put the pistol to the
side of her head and shot her dead.
Then he ran back to where Mrs. Par
menter was and she shouted haul in
I'VE will show the defendants own
statement, L said haul in, and wanted
to quiet her and shot her. The shot
missed and Jones fired again, the bull
let causing the wound which resulted
in her death"
Andrews told of Jones disappearance
and final surrender and closed by say
ing that he would ask for verdict of
murder in the first degree, believing
the case to be one of deliberate and
cold-blooded murder. on objections
from Dunno, Gear said that the last
remark was improper and instructed
the jurors to disregard it.
DR.. f. l.. Miner was called as the first
witness. DR.. st. G.. Walters was next.
They testified about the bullet wound
and the death of Mrs. Parmenter. Po-
lice Captain Parker followed, giving
some details of the discovery of the
killing and the hunt for Jones.

United States will not issue papers for

motion were read to Judge Dole by E.
p Dole and the motion was argued by
Dole and George Davis for the defend
ant and Breckons for the United States
Breckons' affidavit on the motion for
a postponement contained the follow
ing:
"Affiant further deposes and says
that he has reliable information that
at the present time the said Saburo.
Adachi is in the Empire of Japan; that
he further has reliable information that
the said Saburo Adachi will return to
the district of Hawaii from the Empire
of Japan sometime during the latter
part of January or the first week in
February, A. ID. 1904, and that the evi-
dence of the said Saburo Adachi can
be secured for the April, A. d. 1904 term
of this Court.
And said aftiant further deposes and
says that the said Saburo Adach is "A

the proceedings were opened were c. p.

Damon, s. X. Mahoe, d. Kalauokalani,

A. l. G. Atkinson, John Wise, S. Mehe-

added to the audience.
The Birbe demurrer was argued by
Hogan and then the plea to the juris-
diction was urged by Peters, his argu-
ment lasting most of the morning. Pet
ers claimed that there was no law un-
der which such a contest as that filed
in the case could be brought. The only
provision in the County Act for con-
test, said the attorney, was in section
454, and If the court decided that that
section was already in effect the petit
ton was still defective, for section ASA
provides for the bringing of a contest
by amy candidate" and not by electors
as in the petition on file.
The hearing was resumed at 1880 this
afternoon.

The following motion was filed before
Judge Dole this morning in the case of
the United States against Francis
Brooks, after an affidavit by United
States District Attorney Breckons, set
ting forth reasons why the case should
be postponed and making important
revelations as to what testimony he ex-
pected from Sibura Adachi, whom Mar
shall Hendry is to bring back from
Japan
Now comes Francis NJ. Brooks. one
of the defendants herein and valves
his constitutional right to be confront
ed by the alleged Witness Sabura Ada
chi and his right to cross-examine said
Adachi, and for the purpose of securing
a speedy trial admits that the said Ada
chi, if produced and compelled to testi-
fy in said cause, would testify as the
District Attorney in his affidavit herein
states that he would, and consents that
said affidavit of the District Attorney
may be read to the jury as the testi-
mony of said Adachi not however ad-
mitting that said statements are true,
but, on the contrary, claiming that they
are based upon lies which the said
Adachi told to the District Attorney.
THE said defendant, Francis NJ.
Brooks, upon the foregoing waiver, ad-
fidavit hereto annexed, and by refer
ence made a part hereof, demands his
constitutional right to a speedy trial,
and moves this Honorable Court for o
trial forthwith, upon this, the 7th day
of December, 1908, the same being the
day set for said trial
FRANCIS NJ. BROOI.S,
By his Attorneys,
George f.. Davis, L. =. Dole and A.
r. Cunha.
Dated this 7th day of Dec, 1903"
The defendants affidavit sets forth
that he is wholly innocent of the charge
against him and that he is willing to
admit that Adachi will testify to all
that the district attorney claims, also
to waive his right to have Adachi pre-
sent and cross-eXamine. 1t was gen.
orally agreed that this right of waiver
exists and that point was disposed or
without argument. Brooks swears that
Adachi is to be brought back on a
warrant for perjury and is therefore
not a witness who should be waited for
| that If brought back to be tried for
perjury Adachi cannot be used or de-
tained for any other purpose, under
the extradition treaty with Japan, and
that the uncorroborated testimony OF
Adachi, an alleged accomplice, could
not sustain a conviction. Brooks denies
| that he was in any way instrumental in
causing Adachi to leave the islands and
! says that II the United States had
wanted Adachi he could have been Sc
cured before he left. Another state
ment in the affidavit is that i'm the be-
lief of the atfiant, the perjury charge is
