E.. N. JONES
ARRA|GNED
His Plea
on Two Murder
Charges.


argued before Judge Gear yesterday
morning, the grand jury were awaiting
an opportunity to present their first
report of the term. When a ruling
was at length put off until p. m. on
the case just mentioned, the grand Jury
were called in and Samuel Parker as
foreman handed their report up to the
bench.
Judge Gear ordered all indictments
of persons not then in custody placed
on the secret file, and all persons in
whose cases finding of mo bill'' was
returned to be discharged. Defend
ants named in indictments who were
present were then arraigned, their
cases being moved on the calendar.
The indictments were presented in
the following order, by Attorney GEN
eral Andrews and Deputy Peters:
Edward Mitchell Jones, murder, first
degree, for the killing of Sarah Par
menter.
Kanda Kitagawa and Horio, assault
and battery with weapon.

Judson Moody at Waikiki, with intent
to steal goods therefrom. Defendants
are soldiers and came into court in U.
S. a. uniforms.

degree, for the killing of Linda Kai-
mookolani Jones.
JONES IN COURT.
Including Jones, under two charges
of murder, most of the defendants re-
served their pleas until this morning
with the consent of the court. Others
neatly attired in a black suit. He
looked sad of demeanor and would not
have been picked out by a stranger as
one under the awful charge of muir
inc t1xn wit urhn h1
divorced him and her mother.
a. G. NJ. Robertson, who is person.
ally to defend him, was unavoidably
absent but his partner, Arthur a.
Wilder, came in from Judge De Bolts
court and made the request for Jones
to reserve his plea which was granted.
CHILD hARBORING.
Judge Gear ruled against contin-
uance of the case of Territory of Ha-
wall VS.. Josephine Chiffon, harboring
stolen child. 1t therefore went to trial
at 2 o'clock. The child in question is
Maggie Place, whom this defendants
son was formerly charged with kid
mapping. Within the past few days
she gained further notoriety by run
ming away from home and requiring
police search to find her.
The reason for which a continuance
was moved by the defense was the abb
sence of material witness on Molo-
kai, which had not been discovered by
defendants attorneys until almost the
eve of the trial. An arrangement
whereby the testimony of this witness,
a native boy, at the kidnapping trial
might be used tided over the difficulty.
Deputy Attorney General Peters pros
ecuted, while w. 7. Rawlins and j. w.
Cathcart defended the accused. The
defendants husband sat with her in
court.
The following jury was obtained
without difficulty to try the case: j. F.
C. Abel f. ]. Robello, c. Willing, A.
Az Montana, Chas. Woolsey, j. Is.
Clark, S. Keoloewa. e. X. Rathburn
j. S. Low, Theo. Wolff, Lot p. Fernan-
dez and al. II. Boyd. The trial was
still on when the court adjourned for
the day.
