Sword fish are now on the market as
an edible food stuff and the unusual

The motion forIa new trial OF the
case of B. II. Wright, found guilty of
embezzlement, will be based in part on
a sensational affidavit of NJ. y. Furta-

Wis, attorney for Wright, charging
Captain James II. Black with having
declared himself emphatically of the
opinion that Wright was guilty, before
the trial, and with having admitted
that he concealed his opinion in order
to get on the jury and get Jurors fees.
The affidavit is as follows

Hoser James, the convicted burglar,
is said to be an escaped Alcatraz con-
vict, under life sentence for treason.
BY a remarkable coincidence he met In
Oahu jail the soldier who escorted him
as a prisoner across the Pacific from
ManHa to San Francisco,
Sergeant Bales of Camp Mckinley is
the man who recognized James. Bales
was in the Philippines with a portion
of the 9Th artillery when James de-
serted the American army and went
over to the enemy. He was captured
and tried for high treason, receiving a
sentence of life at hard labor. Bales
was delegated to take James to San
Francisco, and landed him safely in
the handles of the authorities there. He
was sent to Alcatraz, one of the hard
est prisons on American soil, and es-
capped from there and made his way to
Honolulu according to the story he
told in Oahu Jail. After landing in
prison here for burglary he was as
tonished to see the soldier who had
once been his custodian. Bales Is one

There was one member Of the crew
of the American ship Paramita who
had special cause for feeling delighted
over the vessel reaching Honolulu
safely, This man was Herbert Krem-
er, While nominally a member of the
the crew, the young man was not a
sailor at all but was the son of very
wealthy insurance man of New York
city and was making the voyage to re-
cover health.
Kremer's father is the president of
the New York German American Fire
Insurance Company, one of the largest
institutions of the kind in America.
Kremer's health had been bad for some
time last year so he decided to make
a sea trip. He went to a British YES
sci that was bound for one of the Aus
tralian ports. He paid his passage
money Tor the round trip. The vessel
was not licensed to carry passengers
so he signed the articles as a member
of the crew, the understanding being
that he would not b. called upon to
perform any of the labors of sailor.
Subsequently the officers of the vessel
did not live up to this agreement but
demanded that he work before the
mast or else pay more money The
young man refused to do SO and in
Newcastle jumped the vessel. He had
to leave all of his effects aboard the
ship in order to get away.

worse He happened to meet the mate

talked about it among the other pri-
soners, and one of them carried the
story to a guard, who told it to Warden
Henry. Henry questioned Sergeant
Bales about 1t, and Bales Identified

San Francisco, he will have little rea-

James true name is said to be Leo
nard Wilmore. He was a member OF
Company NJ Of the 25th Infantry. Dur
ing a row he killed one man and
wounded another and then he deserted
and became a captain of Filipinos.
Twice he was under death sentence,
once by Americans for murder and
once by Filipinos for releasing Ameri-
cans, and each time he escaped. He
was taken to Alcatraz on the Meade, in
October, 1901, and escaped during the
following month with a companion,
who was drowned while trying to swim
from the island.

The Fate of Hannibal.

HannibaPs life and fate were su.
premely great and sad. He was O pa
triot who had only the best interests
of his country at heart. In the wars
of Carthage against Rome he carried
his armies across the strait of Gil
braltar, over the Alps and into Italy
to the very gates of Rome. For more
than a score of years he remained
there, supporting his forces upon the
enemy and proving himself to be
such a literal and lasting scourge
that the Roman mothers would quiet
their children with the sound Of his
dreaded name. Finally. when old in
years and he was driven forth and
defeated, he had made a record in its
way unparalleled throughout the an
nails Of ancient warfare.
Yet In his old age he became a
fugitive, wandering from one country
to the other and finding no rest, owing
to the vindictiye prosecutions of the
Romans, who were then all powerful
At last, discovering no spot on earth

shaved and his once imperial native
city In ruins, he gave way to despair
and ended his life with poison.
