JONES SAYS
NOT GUILTY
Entered His Pleas
Yesterday in
Court.

Demurrer to indictment No. 1Ol'
against l.. NJ. Jones for murder was
argued yesterday morning. Judge Gear
Mt 2 p. m. overruled it. a. G. NJ. Rob-
ertson noted exceptions and then sub
rnitted without argument demurrer to
Indictment NO 1902, which was also
overruled with exceptions noted.
Deputy Attorney General Peters then
moved that defendant be called to
plead.
Jones. in a quiet tone, pleaded not
guilty to each Indictment
Mr.. Peters desired that day certain
be set for trial, to which Mr.. Robert
son agreed. Monday was appointed for
setting the day.
The demurrers overruled yesterday
were in part based on the misspelling
of the word premeditated. which was
written "premedidaded."
THE LAKE CASES.
Henry Hogan, attorney for j. w.
Lake. separately indicted for selling
liauor without a license and for keep
ing a disorderly house, made an earn
est appeal to the court to allow his
client to go on his own recognizance
until Monday. He said Lakes friend
whom he expected to go his bondsman
lived at Aea and it would be too bad
to lock defendant up in jail over sun
day. Defendant was only charged
with a dozen bottles of beer Mr..
Hogan pleaded causing a general
smile.
Mr.. Peters for the Territory said it
was unfortunate for the defendant, but
there was no reason why he should
be treated differently from other per-
sons under indictment.
Judge Gear could not see how the
court could make the distinction re-
quested, as the Attorney Generals de-
partment refused consent and Lakes
bail was much less than the maximum
penalty. Indeed, in the liquor case 1t
was only half the amount fixed in the
case of Simoes, charged with the same
offense.
Bail in both cases amounted to $3.50.
LULA LOSES LAND.
The ejectment case of j. Q. Carter ct
al, trustees of the estate of Bernice
Pauahi Bishop, deceased, against Lula
CwD was given to the jury mt $3.50 yes
terday afternoon. After an absence of
nearly an hour they returned verdict
for the plaintiffs. Mr. Wilmington made
remark about polling the jury. Judge
De Bolt said that 1t was not usual to
poll jury excepting in criminal cases.
Mr.. Stanley for the plaintiffs said he
had no objection. Mr.. Wilmington then
contented himself with noting eXcep-
tions and giving notice of motion for
new trial. The property in question is
in Wyllie street and worth from $500
to $4,000.
II nj T,,1I oil
quiet title. was still on before Judge
Robinson yesterday.
OBJECTIONS TO DOVER.
James Hoare, a creditor of the late
Antoine Rosa's estate, has by his attor-
news, Kinney & Balou, filed exceptions
to the report of Ella ~ c. Long, the
commissioner to admeasure dover. In
the first place, he says the commits
sioner has wrongly admeasured dover
to the widow, Helen n. Rosa, in that
she had elected to take under the Will
of her husband, as his sole deVisee, and
therefore was not entitled to dover In
the next place, the commissioner had
wrongly admeasured dover in that he
had included in the admeasurement the
full value of lands that were mortgag-
ed at the time of Antoine Rosa's death.
In a mortgage by Antoine Rosa and
Helen y. Rosa to j. A. MaEoon for
$500, Mrs. Rosa had conveyed away
her dover interest in such lands. Last
ly, the commissioner had wrongly ad-
measured dover for the reason that the
widow consented in writing, such con-
sent being filed in the Circuit Court, to
the sale of lands for the purpose of
paying the debts of the estate, and for
no other purpose. 1t IS alleged that
the sale of lands took place, under an
order of the court, free and clear of all
membranes and without any reserva-
tons as to dover or other interests.
b Also that a petition to confirm the
sale with the consent in writing of
Mrs Rosa to confirmation, was filed by
the executor, and the sale was confirm
ed by the court. 1t is contended that,
by consentinG to the sale without res
ervation and without making claim for
her dover interest, also by waiting
nearly three years after the sale be-
fore making any claim for dover in
any part of the estate the widow had
waived her dover right in the proceeds
of said lands.

will Of Adelia Cornwell, has filed re-
quest for approval Of the investment OF
