CASE
DISMISSED
JUDGE DOLE REFUSES TO CONTINUE THE CASE TO
AWAIT THE ARRIVAL OF. ADACHI, HOLDING THAT
THERE IS VERY GREAT UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE
LATTER GIVING ANY TESTIMONY.

The case of the United States against
F. NJ. Brooks was dismissed this morn
ing in the Federal court, on motion of
District Attorney Breckons. Judge
Dole denied the motion for a continu
ance to the April term for the purpose
of getting the evidence of Saburo Ada
chi, tating in his decision that there
was very great uncertainty as to whe-
ther Adachfs testimony could be Civ
en-, in view of the status of the latter
when he is eXtradited.
Under ordinary circumstances the
affidavit of the District Attorney as fill
ed in this case would be sufficient for a
continuance" said the judge. THE
court must place confidence in it's Off
GERS. But there is a question as to the
status of the desired witness after his
arrival here. He cannot be tried after

and when asked whv, he said on ac-

he was asked as to her mental condi-

ment, al the end of which the doctor
was allowed to say, from his experience
what was the usual mental effect up
on a patient of vomiting blood. The
prosecution was seeking to show that
Mrs. Parmenter expected to die, as her
statement was not admissible unless
she had such feelings.

TIDAL WAVE At
KOHALALELE
SEA DAsHES OVER CRANE FORTY
FEET IN HEIGHT AT THE LAND
ING-BOULDERS SWEPT INLAND

The toughest weather that has been
known in 16 years is reported from Ko-
halalele landing. The schooner Ka
Moi arrived this morning with news of
the rough weather. There was not
much wind prevailing but the sea was
so high as to reach a point inshore
seldom before attained. The same
tidal wave that visited, oahu, Molokai
and Maui on November 20 was evident
ly the one that swept into Kohalalele.
The waves must have been enormous.
They came as a nOrtherly swell. The
sea at Kohalalele seemed, if anything,
to be larger than the tidal wave re-
ported from other places about the ISL
ands. The sea swept clean over the
top of the crane. This implement
stands 40 feet in height at the landing
but the big rollers covered it complete
ly from sight when they came dashine

up and carried inland some distance
Several houses were washed away No

MRS. PARMEMTER'S
DYING STATEMENT
EFFORTS TO BRING 1T BEFORE THE JURY CAUSE AN
INTERESTING LEGAL BATTLE IN THE JONES MUIR
DER TRIAI1-DID THE WOMAN WHO MADE IT KNOW
SHE WAS DYING?

A very interesting legal battle began
in the Jones murder case this morning
over the admission of the dying state
ment, as the prosecution calls it, of
Mrs. Sarah Parmenter. The attorneys
for the defense made an attack upon
the statement as soon as Attorney Gen
eral Andrews prepared to introduce it,
and the jury was at once excused, with
a prospect of remaining excused for a
whole day or more, while the attorneys
wrangled over the problem of whether
Mrs. Parmenter, when she made the
staetment had such a sense of i'm
pending death as makes her unsworn
statement proper testimony.
Before the question of the dying
statement was reached there was an
other discussion, during which the jury
was excused, over the prosecutions s
efforts to prove that Jones had been
convicted of assault and battery upor
both of the women he is charged will
numbering. Judge Dickey was called
to the stand, to prove from the dis
trict court records that such was th'
case. Judge Gear finally allowed the
testimony. Jones served three months
in Jail for the assaults. according to the
evidence and was said to have threat
ened to kill those concerned in sending
him to Jail.
Mrs. Lucas was the next witness, and
then DIR. F. L. Miner was called, to
testify as to the circumstances under
which Mrs. Parmenter made the al
legged dying statement. Dunno al
once objected and the jury was ex-
cused, while he and Robertson, and An
drews and Peters, fought over the pro-
position. Dunno bristled with techni-
calities and roamed all over the union
in citing cases, while Peters came back
with other cases and the court read
and listened to law, and DR.. Miner sat
on the witness stand and answered
about one question every fifteen min

DIR. Russell
TURNED DOWN
THE AAIERICAN' CONSUL AT NAGASAKI THINKS THAT
PASSPORTS SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE
TERRITORY OF HAWAII ARE NOT NALID-DOES NOT
KNOW OF SPECIAL POWERS GRANTED

The passport issued to Senator \.
Russell by Governor Dole has been ig-
nored by the American consul at Ma
gasaki, apparently on account of the
failure of the State Department to no
tify the consul that the Governor Of
Hawaii has been given special powers
to issue passports. Russell left here
some weeks ago for the Orient and on
arriving at Nagasak he visited the
consul there, expecting the usual recog-
milton and assistance of an American
citizen. He was disappointed. The
consul told him his passport was n. c.,
because it did not bear the seal of the
Department of State.
The Department of State gave special
powers to the Governor of Hawaii in
the matter of passports, over year
ago. but the American consul at Nagd-
saki does not seem to know about Ii.
The passport law provides that the De-

extradition for any other offense than
that for which he is brought here, nor
can he be held to compel him to testi-
fy. The indictment for conspiracy can
not be held over him to compel him to
testify, for as far as that Is concerned
he is in the position of one whose case
has been nolle pressed. 1 do not find
that the authorities go so far as the
counsel for the defense do, in saying
that he cannot be subpoenaed, but no
threat can be held over him to induce
him to testify if he does not wish to do
so. The indictment for perjury is the
only one that can be used against him
and the use of that as a threat to make
him testify would not be tolerated or
attempted. The possibility of using
him as a witness is therefore so remote
that / am unwilling to continue the
matter on that expectation"

to the great distance from Hawaii to

the Governor of this Territory to issue

large number of passports were is
sued by Dole in accordance with tdis
ruling, all of them being on blanks fur
nished by the State Department. There
has never been a case reported before
in which the documents did not prove
satisfactory, but the one given to DIR.
Russell was not enough to convince the
American consul at Nagasaki that Rus
selnitsh is an American.
Governor Carter will write to the In
terror Department, calling attention to-
the error, and a general notice to Am
erican consuls will probably be given.

j. j. Branch May Follow.
Macon, June 27.-Peter Wickes died
at the hospital this morning at 1910
o'clock, from the effects of jump from
a train.
Peter Wickes and ]. J. Branch had
been engaged in the lumber trade near
Darien for some years past, and had
been quite successful. Yesterday MORN
ing they left home for Macon. but lost
time at Dublin, where they took an
afternoon train.
Just before the train reached Rock
ledge, small station some twenty
five miles south of Macon, one of them
asked the conductor to let them off at
that place. The train stopped, but the
men, who had been drinking consid-
erably, appeared to know nothing of
1t until after the train had pulled away
and was moving under full speed.
Then both men, arm in arm, rushed
TO the rear platform and before the
conductor realized what they contem-
plated they leaped from the steps. 1t
was somersault after somersault they
turned before they hit the ground. The
train was backed to the men. Both had
been stunned by the fail and when they
We're picked up it was plain that both
had been badly hurt.
An examination showed that both
men had fractured skulls and that the
entire top of Wickes head was crushed
In. The hospital surgeons quickly an
nounced that there was practically no
chance for Wickes and his death was
question of only few hours.
Branch's injuries are extremely dan
gerous, but there are some hopes of his
ultimate recovery. Wickes was 60
years of age, while Branch is A.
