HIS WIFE ALL
HIS ESTATE
MRS. HAPAI AN INCOME PRO
DUCER AND ALL THE PROPERTY
HAPAI HAD.

The divorce suit of Annie Hapai VS.
Charles l.. Hapai came up before Judge
De Bolt this morning. the lbellec APP
pearlng for himself without counsel
and Mrs. Hapai being represented by
Henry Hogan, The hearing was on a
motion for an order to secure the wo-
mans clothing, which Hapai was alleg-
ed to be holding from her, but it turn
ed out that he was willing to give it
up. The complaint charges that Ha-
pal took everything in sight and also
accuses him of cruelty, and Hapai
started to answer the charges but was
told by the court that he could do that
when the entire case came up.
Mrs. Hapai testified in answer to
questions that she was all the property
Hapai had. Has he any property be-
sides your asked Hogan, and the wit
ness replied in the negative.
1t appeared that Mrs. Hapai was re-
venue-producing property, for she said
that she had earned enough by sewing
for Hapai to live on during the past
year. She is living now with Mrs.
Benoit, a friend on Vineyard street,
and came into court to get her clothes
and her marriage certificate, which are
in trunks in Hapais house.
She left me. I don't know why"
said Hapai. She was i'll in the hospi-
tai and the day before she was to leave
the hospital l saw her and thought she
was coming home. I waited the next
day but she didn- come and l haven't
seen her since until now" Hapai said
that Mrs. Benoit came the next day
with letter, asking for some pillow
cases and signed by his wife, but that
it was not for the clothes. He was
willing to deliver the clothes and the
marriage certificate he told Judge De
Bolt.
Hapai testified that he was busted
and out of work, but The court made
on order that he pay the costs of the
suit. An order was also made that he
turn over al Mrs. Hapai's personal
clothing to her and refrain from SELL
ing or disposing of any of the house
