JAP TRIED
To MURDER
Woman Attacked
in Her Own
Rooms.
Her Friends SECURED the
City in Search of
Assassin.
Injured Woman Is Now in the
Hospital and Is Badly
Injured.

Tokumago Masano. comely Jap
anese woman living in a small down
stairs room at the corner of Pauahi
and Smith streets, was shot and seri-
ously wounded last night about 9:45
O'Clock by a japanese man named
Nishi or Nishimura Minekichi. One
shot penetrated the right cheek and
took downward course lodging in the
shoulder A second shot, evidently fir
ed while the woman was either falling
or lying PROSTATE, entered the back.
Minekichi fed. The woman was taken
to the Japanese Hospital on Lil;ha
street where she was attended by DIR.
K. Haida.
The shooting took place in very mar
row, boxy entrance leading from the
front door to the woman's apartment.
The shots were heard by Japanese iiv-
ing close by and while some ran to
the room others went in search of the
police. officer Kaena responded from
his bea, on Hotel street and found the
woman lying in the hallway, a pool of
blood having formed about her. She
was conscious but unable to describe
the assault. owing to the wound in her
face. After being given some atten-
ton she was able to stand. She was
taken to the hospital in a litter in the
patrol wagon.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth went to
the Hospital and questioned the suf-
ferer. and after getting description
of her assailant began a search for
him. He is well known to the police.
1t is believed that the couple had some
difficulty over money matters.
The police quickly found the Jap's
room on River street. Deputy Sheriff
ChilIingwoith examined the room and
in the assassin's trunk found a box of
cartridges.
Numerous friends of the injured wom-
an were securing the city for the man
last night Some of them went out to
Waikiki. where it was thought that he
might be hiding in a friends house.
