ry lived year in day. On
the night of the 18th, or, rather near
the break of dawn on the 10Th, Captain
Quinnox guided him from the danger
Gus streets of Edelweiss to the secret
passage, and he was safe for the time
being. The entrance to the passage
was through a skillfully hidden open
ing in the wall that inclosed the park.
A stone doorway SO cleyerly construct
of steps, which in turn took one to a
long, narrow passage. This ended in
stairway fully quarter of mile
from its beginning. Ascending this
stairway one came to secret panel
through which, by pressing a spring,
the interior of the castle was reached.
The location of the panel was in one
of the recesses in the wall of the chap
ell, near the altar 1t was in this chap
el that Yetive exchanged her male at
tire for loose gown weeks before. and
the servant who saw her come from
the door at an unearthly hour in the
morning believed she had gone there
to seek surcease from the troubles
which oppressed her,
Lorry was impatient to rush forth
from his place of hiding and to end all
suspense, but Quinaox demurred. He
begged the eager American to remain
in the passage until the night Of the
18th, when, all things going well, he
might be so fortunate as to reach the
princess without being seen. 1t was
the secret hope OF the guilty captain
that his charge could be induced by the
princess to return to the monastery to
avoid complications. He promised to
inform her highness Of his presence in
the underground room and to arrange

Quinnox calmly placed his hands on
the others shoulders, and, looking him
in the eye, said quietly:
Her suffering now is as nothing
compared to what it will be if you GO

ice down there. l implore you to be

1t was an eloquent appeal, and it
struck home. Lorry wayered, but his
resolution would not weaken. He ar
gued first with Quinnox, then with
himself, finally returning to the reck-
less determination to brave all and
save her from herself. The soldier

INSANITY
AND DRINK
THE JONES MURDER TRIAL REACHES THE LAST STAGE
ARGUMENTS TO THE JURY IN PROGRESS JONES
WAS INSANE FROM BOYHOOD, SAYS ROBERTSON,
AND EXCESSIVE DRINK CAPPED THE CLIMAX.

The result of "an injured brain plus
excessive drink" was A. G. NJ. Robert
sons characterization of the Jones'
Parmenter tragedy of last August, in
his argument to the jury this morning,
defending e. NJ. Jones. The case has
been on trial since November %, with
night sessions during the past few days.
1t has been a legal contest that has at
tracted the attention of the entire local
bar, as well as of the general conmun-
ity and will always be remembered as
one of the notable cases in Hawaiian
legal history This morning United
States Judge Dole was among those in
the courtroom. He was invited to the
bench by Judge Gear and remained a
listener to the argument all morning.
After half an hours discussion of in
structions to the jury. Robertson open
ed his argument for the defense. He
made a careful analysis of the eviden-
ces of insanity, placing before the jur-
Ors in consecutive and logical order the
evidences bearing upon each of the nu-
merous symptoms which the experts
declared were general symptoms of in
sanity. During his discussion of delu-
siOns as one of the symptoms the at
torney made references to the defend
ants idea that his wife was unfaithful
to him. The complete lack of proof
that there was any foundation for
Jones suspicious of his wife, constitute
one of the defense's strong points, max

TO LAUGH At
YOUR LEISURE

The newspaper colored supplement
has come to Honolulu. and, like most
other modern improvements which
have been made in local journalism
during the past few years, it is to be
brought out by The Star. Tomorrow's
Star will have a supplement of the
colored funny pictures" which have
made a hit all over the United States.
The colored supplement of the Sun
day and Saturday afternoon papers has
become a feature of the leading papers
in most American cities. The Star will
bring Honolulu up to date by issuing
such a supplement every Saturday. The
supplement will consist of stories told
in colored pictures, over which the
young and old both may laugh at their
leisure. Tomorrow the supplement will
consist of four pages of colored pictures
giving a series that will be enjoyed by
all who appreciate humor.

ing the defendants opinion, in the op-
inion of some of the experts, an "in-
sane delusion."
Robertson drew a distinction between
an erroneous opinion and an insane de-
fusion. An erroneous opinion was
founded on actual facts which might
warrant such an opinion, said the at
torney, while an insane delusion was a
belief for which there was absolutely no
foundation or justification in fact what
ever. Jones' belief that his wife was
Untrue was such a delusion. 1t was a
suspicion unfOunded, which gradually
ripened into a fixed belief. 1T was an
insane delusion of the kind well recog-
nized by medical experts" said the at
torney, "and recognized by the law.
This jury must declare Linda Jones
innocent. Nowhere in the case does
there appear the slightest ground for
believing in her guilt. Her own sworn
complaint in the divorce case comes like
voice from the grave to declare her
innocent and in the absence of even
the slightest ground for other opinion,
it must be believed"
Jones' life history showed that the
insanity was in him from his boyhood
Illness, the attorney contended, and on
ly waited for a cause to break it loose.
Robertson will be followed by both An
drews and Peters for the prosecution.
Attorney Dunno will not address the
jury. 1t is expected that the jury will
be charged this afternoon or evening.

THE COUNTY
OF KALAWAO
BOARD OF HEALTH TO DISCUSS
ORGANIZATION OF LEPERS'
COUNTY.

On the Fourth of January, when the
County Act goes into effect, the leper
settlement becomes the County of Ka-
lawao, but as there was no election
held there this time, the offices provid-
ed by the County Act viii probably be
filled by the Board of Health. The
Board will take up the matter at its
next meeting and discuss the effects Of
the change. The law contains the fol-
lowing provision as to the formation Of
the leper settlement county

TAYLOR GOES BACK
To ENGLAND
LATE COMMISSIONER OF AGRI-
EMPLOYMENT IN NEW YORK

Wray Taylor has leTt New York for
England. He was unable to find en-
ployment in New York and so returned
to England where he has friends and
relatives and where he expressed him
self as feeling that he would be able to
do better in the way of making a liveli-
hood than there was promise of his be-
ing able to do in New York.
Taylor seems not to have made any
secret whatever of his presence in New
York, as in addition to calling on Bish-
op Restarck, he was frequently seen
by the Bickertons and other members
of the Honolulu colony in New York
He claimed to Bishop Restarick that he
had been robbed of 500 in San Fran
cisco and that he worried a good deal
about 1t, and thinks this was one of the
predisposing cases of his mental lapse.

Sheriff who shall be residents of and
be elected i'm said County at the first
general election to be held under the

provided by law, and who shall each

AS this years election was decided to
be not a general" election, the law was
interpreted to be tnat no election
should be held this time at the settle
ment. II is a question therefore wheth-
er there need be any change in the sta
tus of the settlement until the next
election, when a sheriff and magistrate
will be chosen. If it is decided that
these offices must be filled before that,
the Board will make appointments. DIR.
Cooper stated this morning that Super
intendent McVeigh might be chosen for
sheriff.

SUPREME COURT SAYS THERE IS NO PROVISION YET
FOR EXPENSES OF THE LAND COURT-THE LEGIS-
LATURE HAD RIGHT TO DIVIDE APPROPRIATIONS

Fisher to pay Boyd's salary The court
