The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1903-02-03

The Dole divorce case yesterday af-
ternoon presented the remarkable spec
tacle of a suit being tried without eth
er a complaint or the answer thereto
ever finding it's way on to the files of
the court in the regular way. In a
general effort to stand in for secrecy
all the papers were suppressed, instead
of being filed as other papers are. The
complaint is endorsed as filed last Sac
urday and returned after service at
9:95 yesterday morning. The filing,
however, was by no means such as to
carry out the intent of the law and
practice of the courts.
The answer is endorsed as filed last
Saturday. 1t never found it's way into
the regular file box until after the ca Sc
was ended yesterday afternoon. Both
complaint and answer appear 10 have
been hidden somewhere in a backroom,
under the pretence of entering them
up" Under such a system there Is no
telling how many legal proceedings i'll
which the public might be interested,
may wend their way silently through
the courts, held out to oblige litigants
or attorneys.
The main allegations of the held-up
complaint are as follows, after d state
ment setting forth the marriage of Mr.
and Mrs. Il. p. Dole in San Francisco:
This plaintiff shows that at the time
of the marriage herein alleged, he en-
tertained great love and affection for
said defendant, and that he was eXl
tremely desirous of her society, and
that in her society he found his greatest
pleasure and enjoyment; that this con-
dition of plaintiffs s feelings toward said
defendant were then and there well
known to said defendant; but that not
xuit CT n n1t nj n
and affection for said defendant and
her knowledge thereof. sail defendant
from the date of said marriage up to
and including the date of the filing OF
this libel, has persis stently and consist
emily summed and avoided this plain
tiff whenever she could, and ignored
his wishes and affection and upon eV-
cry available occasion withdrew her
self from his society; and in this be-
half plaintiff shows that out of the
period Of nearly seventeen months
which has elapsed since the date Of
said marriage, said defendant has
spent with said plaintiff and in his So
cietY, the brief period of tive uiOn tbs
and l9 days. and plaintiff SHOWS tnat
said acts and conduct of defendant
were caused by aversion and hatred
then and there harbored and entertain
ed by said defendant against him; and
this plaintiff further shows that said
acts and conduct of said defendant, In
this paragraph mentioned were wholly
without the consent and against the
wishes of plaintiff and were without
any cause, justification or excuse what
ever and were done and performed by
said defendant with the deliberate
purpose and wilful intent upon the
part of said defendant TO inllict, and
said acts did in fact inhict, upon this
plaintiff and libellant great and con-
tinued mental suffering, distress and
anguish, and great impairment of and
| injury to the health of plaintiff TO sIch
an extent that he became incapacitat-
ed from attending to business.
This plaintiff and libellant further
alleges and shows that notwithstand-
| ing his said love and affection for Ue-
| fendant said defendant neither felt,
entertained nor harbored any love or
affection or wifely kindness for him,
! but on the contrary felt, entertained
and harbOred for him a fixed and set

and contempt, which made and sdil
makes wholly impossible any hope
