LOSS OF BOND
SPOILS The CASE
ROBINSON WANTS THE
ORIGINAL IN THE CASE OF VOL
TIERS VS.. REDWARD.

Judge Robinson this morning rem
dered a decision overruling the demur-
rer in the case of Il. H. f. Wolters VS..
f. II. Redward. in which an instructed
verdict for the defendant was given
last week, on account of the failure OF
the plaintiff to produce a bond under
which the suit was brought. Redward
has gone away, and the original bond
could not be found. The plaintiffs Of
fered to prove its contents, but the
court held that no sufficient reason for
not producing the original had been
given. Wolters was surety on Red
wards bond for the performance of a
building contract, and when VOTERS
went away, he paid the bond, where
as Redward claims that it should not
have been forfeited. In deciding the
case on motion for new trial Judge
Robinson said:
IF secondary evidence of the eXecu-
ton and contents of a writing were ad-
missible under the circumstances of
this case, upon the evidence adduced,
1t might well be that persons having
possession Of such instruments could
depart from the jurisdiction of this
court on the eve of trial of causes in
which they We're required as evidence,
and thus open wide the door for the
admission of the rankest frauds.
The only direct and positive evidence
in this case as to the person last in
possession of the original bond is that
of the plaintiff himself, who testifies
that he executed the bond in the office
of c. r. Ripley, the architect employed
by the Lodge and Immediately there
after delivered the same to said Ripley.
1t nowhere appears that the bond in
question ever passed out of the pos
session of Ripley or came into the pos
session of the building committee of
said Hawaiian Lodge, or into the Gus
tody of said Lodge or any of it's officers.
1T appears that the said Ripley is
not now a resident of the Territory of
Hawaii, but when he removed from the
jurisdiction of this court, whether
prior or subsequent to the commence
ment of this action is not shown. Nor
does it appear that any inquiry was
made of Ripley as to the whereabouts
of the missing document, nor that any
attempt was made to ascertain his pre-
sent residence, nor to take his deposit
ton.
while The evidence shows that the
last custodian of the writing is not now
a resident of this jurisdiction, it does
not appear that his present place of
residence is unknown to the plaintiff,
and for that reason his deposition could
not have been taken, or that any effort
has been made to ascertain his present
residence or to take his deposition or
that any inquiry has been made of him
as to the loss or destruction or present
whereabouts of the instrument in
question. The law provides a conve-
| nient, speedy and inexpensive method
for securing the testimony of a non
resident witness, and that the plaintiff
has failed to avail himself of the means
afforded and thus produce evidence
which | deem essential to the admission
of the secondary evidence which he de-
sires to offer and produce, is a misfor-
tune due alone to his own fault"

What in the world are our courts com
ing to? is the question that is bothering
the people of Gilpin county this week,
since the outcome of the O'Bren case
has become known. Here was case, or
two of them, where there was direct evil
dence that the defendant was guilty of
the charges preferred against him, yet
he is freed because Of faulty information
against him. Slch botch Of a job as
this was is not to be tolerated in CON-
munity, when criminals get free, and are
given another opportunity to help them
selves to what they can get Such things
as these are what make it SIS hard for our
police officers to do anything, and be.
sides this, look at the expense the county
is put to. O'Brien was landed in Jail in
April last, escaped on May 30, was re-
captured in Routt county and Sheriff
Cody went after him. He has been eat
ing off the county since l,st July, and
now only for his foolishness in pleading
guilty to petty larceny, might be enjoy
ing his liberty. And all of this expense
is saddled onto the county IN the cause
of Justice.

necessary to preserve order. for the
prevention OF political disruption and
to insure the maintenance of the pres
ent policy. The speakers paid per-
sonal tributes to the governor, the
crowd cheering its approval.
In reply to the addresses Governor
Taft said It would not be decided at
present whether he leave the islands
or remain until next August. He as
sured the people that If he did leave

government would not be changed.
