CHINESE BR|BER GOES
To OAHU PRISON FOR
EIGHTEEN MONTHS
Man Who Attempted to Secure Permission
From Attoney-GeneraI's Department for
Gambling Is Found Guilty.

Tong Kai was found guilty of at
tempting to bribe Deputy Attorney
General Peters by a jury yesterday
afternoon and was by Judge De Bolt
sentenced to serve term of eighteen
months in Oohu Jail and to pay the
costs of the prosecution. There was
no defense. Tong Kai failed to go on
the stand. and with nothing but his
plea of not guilty before them and
without explanation the jury was not
long in reaching an agreement as to
his guilt. The evidence of John Baker
and of a Chinese to whom the defen-
dant had told of his intentions to elk"
the matter was practically all that
went to the jury. The statements made
to Mr.. Peters were allowed only SO far
as Baker could testify. Peters was
not allowed to tell Of the Interpretation
made by Baker. but the jury found am
pie evidence without that that an at
tempt to bribe the Attorney General
had actually been made. An exception
to the verdict and sentence was taken
by F. M. Brooks and an appeal to the
Supreme Court noted. The appeal bond
was fixed at $1,000.
BAKERS TESTIMONY.
John Baker the Hawaiian who acted
as interpreter during the negotiations
had between Mr.. Peters and Tong Kai
was the first witness He testified that
he was first approached by the Chinese
at his residence a number of weeks
ago. Tong Kai had asked him whether
he was acquainted with the Attorney
General, and Baker replied that he
was. Then Tong Kai said he wanted
him to act as interpreter in. .,making an
offer to the Attorney General to permit
the pakapio games to be run. Baker
told also of the several conversations
he had had with Peters in which he
first offered to pay him for his efforts
in securing the lottery men freedom
from prosecution. The conversation
in the Attorney Generals Office be-
tween Peters and Baker, in which the
Chinese made the direct offer to pay

also testified to.
The cross-examination by Brooks
was interesting, though the testimony
of the native was not shaken, even
though he became a trifle confused in
relating the circumstances of the deal.

to take the money all this timer" the
witness was asked after answering
some general questions relating to the
alleged bribery.

whether or not the Legislature of
Hawaii will be in a more completely
mixed ND condition today than it was
last night, is a question which will be
settled only by the action OF the House
this morning. When adjournment was
forced yesterday afternoon. for the pur-
pose Of seeing if a nights rest would
not cool down some of the hot tempers
OF members there was before the House
the resignation of one member and five
others were in the possession Of the
Speaker.
These were the result of the belief
on the part Of the members that they
were being played with by the members
OF the upper house and the Governor;
that they were to be held out of their
pay and expenses until the upper body
should see ut. and that the Hawaiians.

In its state Of feeling might have ac-
cepted the resignation of Fernandez.
and further might have gone into the
matter Of a practical abandonment OF
the work. but the necessity for thought
was 50 apparent that all took the oeca--
sion tc adjourn.
