YOUNG SEWALL INDICATED.

Club Mystery.
Club Mystery.

NAao VI ShSAl"
Ardsley-on-the- Hudson, \. Y,
May Or. L. Sewall, son of the
late Arthur Sewall, who was W. ].
Bryan's running mate in 1896, was
indicated by the coroner's inquest
into the Ardsley Club mystery and
the mystery OF who killed John Hef-
fernan on the lawn OF theiashionable
club is still unsolved.
The vindication OF Sewall sets at
rest presumably all the gossip involy-
lag unnamed society men and their
possible motives.
The testimony OF DR.. George F.
Shrady, noted specialist OF New
York City, who was on the veranda
OF the clubhouse when the shooting
occurred, established the fact that
during the hall hour following the
shooting Heffernan was in a state
bordering on delirium and that he
did not know what he was doing or
saying.
The contradictory nature Of Hei-
iernan's statements at the time
would also seem to corroborate the
theory Of his responsibility.
To Sarah Campbell the dying man
said he thought "Mr. Hewitts SON.
in-law had shot him." to Mr.. Sewall
he declared that someone shot him
in the back from behind some bushes
he did not know who it was; to two
young employees OF the Ardsley Club
thedying man declared "Mr. Hewitt's
intended son-in.law" had shot him;
to Mr.. Eldridge, member Of the
Ardsley Club, Hefiernan said "Mr.
Hewitt Is coachman had shot him"

being at dinner with Mr.. Sewall, who
is to marry Miss Hewitt next

trial at OnOmea early last week. In
so far at it was represented it did all
the work guaranteed for it but Mr.
Moir wanted a pillow that would root
out and destroy the stumps of the yell
low Catalonia cane. He made sug-
gestiOns to Mr. Horner as to possibili-
ties of improvements. Mr.. Horner re-
turned to Kukaiau with his plow and
the suggestions of Mr.. Moir were car
ried out. Last Monday the improved
pillow was tried at Onomea with the re-
suit that the cane stumps were cut in
pieces about six inches in width and
rooted them out of the ground COM
pletely. Mr.. Moir was so pleased with
the result that he retained the pillow
and ordered more. 1t is said that this
implement will save the plantation sew

eruptiOns the crater of Mokuaweoweo
has experienced in many years.
From Punaluu the sight h one of
magnificent grandeur. Robert Forrest
who is in charge of the Inter Island
land there, reports the fire as large and
says the glow extends for some dis
lance toward Kona and he is under the
impression that there is lava flow,
probably "a, from the crater, or from
point near it, going slowly towards
Kona. This will be determined when
the first prospecting party reaches the
summit.
Manager Bidgood telephoned again
Wednesday morning that fire is plainly
seen from his hotel md that on Tues
day night there seemed to be four
places where the fire was strongest and
with the reflection on the smoke and
steam high in the heavens they gave
the appearance of four enormous coll
umns of fire. Kilauea shows no unu.
sual activity. This is the general con-
dition when Mokuaweoweo is active.
That there is a lively outbreak at
the summit of Mauna Loa there can be
no doubt. The Herald was in frequent
communication yesterday with Mama
ger Bidgood and some residents of Kau
and Kona. The reports from these
people relative to the extent of the ac-
tivity all coincide with that of Mr.. For
rest
The Wassmans in Kona went but
two miles from their residence and got
a flne view of the glow, they could
plainly see the reflections from various
flows.
kilauea sent two messengers to the
top of the mountain for the purpose of
investigating the outbreak They re-
ported on their return that the lava is
pouring out of the main crater at Mo-
kuaWeoweo and that on Tuesday night
there were six streams. on Wednesday
morning these had run together form
ing two very wide streams which were
flowing to Kahuku Ranch owned by
