MRS. GERTz
ON NEW TACK
Is Willing To Be
Lenient With
Magoon.

Ordinary rulings of law do not satisfy
Mrs. Anna Gertz, the woman who has.
been keeping the courts busy for ses--
eral years in attempting TO get them 81
correct wrongs she alleges that she hasr.
suffered at the hands of j. Alfred Ma
COON. Every attorney and every 1ndgt
in Honolulu has told her that she lis nos
entitled to legal redress but Mrs. CertI
is not the sort of woman that despair,
at such reburfs. Last term the Supreme
Court finally decided that she was ia
the wrong, but she Immediately caJrN
forward with a motion for rehearinE
This the Supreme Court also denied
this week, and yesterday Mrs Gerts
was to the front with a petition for a
writ of mandamus directed at every
one in general and Magoon in parttcu-
lar. She approached Geo. Lucas, the
clerk, and asked him to file the docu-
ment in the Supreme Court. Lucas de
INJURED but Mrs. Gertz insisted and be-
gan to quote the law which provided
for such a proceeding so Lucas wiitas
and took the paper from her hands.
Among other things Mrs. Gertz sayn
in her Petition
THAT it seems defendant j. a Ma
COON knows he is a powerful man and
is entitled to all the false oaths hi
pleases, n poor man would not have
gone through all the courts being a's-
cused of perjury he would be indicted
by the grand jury and by the jury trial
the sentence would be twenty years i'm
prisonment at hard labor"
Mrs. Gertz also goes for Miss Doro--
thea Lamb, now Mrs. Emerson, for
buying the property and says she Is
another fraud.
She adds: "That petitioners attor-.
ney, Mr.. Russell, refused to appeal or do
anything and leaving petitioner to her
Dole, to Acting Governor Cooper, to At
torney- General Knox and lastly tn
President Roosevelt all which advised
her must be fought out in the Terri
Dole who said he had no time to arrest
]. A. Magoon or look into the char5eS
of fraud, robbery and perjury"
She says also no one was allowed to
look into the "robber business ana
that any rascal would swear false wheE
he can make thousands of dollars. But
why is such rascal protected by the
government and judges? May be II
shall be the fate of petitioner, as her
mother and mothers sister also We're
robbed of a great fortune after the
death of their parents about 1884, as
she said her brother and lawyers de-
prived them of most of their part. Thu
courts were bad then"
Mrs. Gertz charges all the attorneys
and judges in the Territory with divers
illegal things and then says: I'm sum-
against different parties the Hon. Chief
Justice will come to the same conciu-
sion, that n conspiracy existed to de-
stroy Gertz business and rob his real
estate, it seems that league Is in ex-
istence and j. A. Magoon seems only
hired to play the Satan and take away
whatever they want, and 1t seems that
the oath of the league is more obeyess
as the official oath.
III it was not so. how could the
judges do such wrongs and violate
their judgeships."
Mrs. Gertz closes her application for
mandamus with n request that MasooN
be ordered to collect all the deeds and
release the mortgages, and says:
your petitioner is not able to pnt
the demands in a better, shorter shape.
as the time does not allow an over
writing and your petitioner feels SICK
from so much writing, and therefore
the last pages are badly written.
your petitioner is able whatever ex-
penses may be TO pay.
Petitioner Is entitled to more as she
asks, but she wishes to show leniencx
to defendant j. A. Magoon."
