THE REAL
SURPRISE
A. G. NJ. ROBERTSON WRITES IN EARNEST
DEFENSE OF THE JONES JURY-HE SAYS THE ENI
DENCE AND NOT THE VERDICT WAS THE REAL SUR
PRISE TO THE COMMUNITY

EDITOR STAR:-Disliking as l do to
appear in public print in reference to
any litigation with which l may be
connected and regretting the occasion
which impels me now to ask for space
in your valuable columns, l have to
ask you to allow me to register my pro-
test against what seems to me to be a
most unwarranted attack upon the
jury in the Jones case, which has been
made in the editorial columns of the
Star and Advertiser.
l do not propose to discuss your sug-
gestion that the solid men of the COM
munity should become lynchers, nor to
argue whether or not the law of Java
and the Philippines is better than the
common law of England and America.
We must take our rules of law as we
find them and apply them to cases as
they arise.
Before entering upon the trial of the
Jones case the twelve men who We're
accepted as jurors by both the prose-
cution and the defense We're sworn to
render a true verdict according to the
law as it should be laid down by the
Court and the evidence that should be
submitted to them at the trial.
The principal defense in the case was
that the defendant at the time of the
commission of the alleged offense was
insane. The sworn testimony in the
case showed overwhelmingly that such
was the fact, and it was this testimony
and not the verdict that followed that
was the real cause of surprise. Your

The competition just closed has been
a very successful one. The Star has
benefited by 1t very materially. The
number of new subscribers to The Star
that have been secured, is very large.
New friends have been made and what
is quite as satisfactory to The Star as
any other feature is that every one of
the schoolboys and school girls who
entered into the competition has reap
ed substantial benefit from their work,
The winner of the first prize of $50, is
a bright, well hammered, modest little
fellow of ten years, Luther Hough, who
lives with his mother at 1040 Richards
street. He was born right here in
Honolulu and has never lived else
where. He is a pupil in the third year
in the preparatory High School, and is
a pupil in Central Union Sunday School
He says the way he got subscriptions
was by going to everybody, whether he
knew them or not, and asking them to
subscribe. He just went right out af-
ter business and he got it.
He was coxswain of lne Myrtle pair
cared barge in which Lyle and Soper
rowed last September, and won. He
expects to take part in boat races next
season. He has a younger brother
Arthur, eight years old, and a sister
Pearl, who is nearly seven.

so-caled solid" men of the commun-
ty had openly condemned Jones and
consigned him to the gallows without
knowing anything of his life history.
The law, in a case of this kind, and
the Court so instructed the jury, that
the burden is upon the prosecution to
prove the defendants sanity beyond a
reasonable doubt, and if the evidence
fails in that respect, it is the duty of
the jury to acquit.
In order to have found a verdict on
the theory that Jones was sane the
jury would have had to ignore the posi-
tive testimony of over a dozen Witness
es. The testimony of the so-called eX-
perts who were calleG by the prosecu-
ton to testify that the defendant was
in their opinion, sane, was purely hy-
pothetical and theoretical. And none
of the prosecutions professional
witnesses ventured to say that Jones
was sane at the time of the alleged
killing.
No jury having any regard for their
oaths could have found any verdict
other than that of mot guilty"
That the jury in this case could come
to no other conclusion was openly re-
marked by several disinterested by
ISLANDERS who observed the trial and
heard the evidence. Those who have
ventured to criticize the action of the
jury know nothing of the law of the
case and but little of the facts.

Morgan had good support and field
ed his hits well. Mcneil was little
stronger than Tuesday. when he was

Tom Clifford, Paducah's catcher,
made one Of the most remarkable plays
yesterday on record. Despite the fact
that mis- hand is not yet we'll his catch
ing was feature of the game. Dur
ing one of the innings yesterday there
was one man on second and another
ON third base, snd the man at third
tried to steal home. Clifford got the
ball and the runner turned back. AZ
ter lodging for q few seconds Clifford
ran after him. All this time the man
on second was trying to get to third,
thinking that the runner on third
would either be out or score. Clifford
overlook the man who had been on
third and tagged him, and his momen-
tum carried him on and he also over.
took the man between second and
third and put him out, thus making
a double play, unassisted, on the base
line. Not man heard to express an
opinion had ever seen such play sue
cessfully made before and Clifford has
received much praise for It.
