MRS, GERTz
ON NEW TACK
Is Wiling To Be
Lenient With
Magoon.
Wants To Get Her Rights
By Mandamus
Now.
Still Calls Attorneys and Judges
Bad Names and Scents
q Conspiracy.

Ordinary rulings of law do not satisfy
Mrs. Anna Gertz, the woman who has
been keeping the courts busy for sew
eral years in attempting to get them to
correct wrongs she alleges that she has
suffered at the hands of j. Alfred Ma
COON. Every attorney, and every judge
in Honolulu has told her that she is not
entitled to legal redress but Mrs. Gertz
at such rebuffs. Last term the Supreme
Court finally decided that she was in
the wrong, but she Immediately came
forward with a motion for rehearing.
This the Supreme Court also denied
this week. and yesterday Mrs. Gertz
was to the front with petition for a
writ of mandamus. directed at every
one in general and Magoon in particu-
lar. She approached Geo. Lucas, the
clerk, and asked him to file the docu-
ment in the Supreme Court. Lucas de-
INJURED but Mrs. Gertz insisted and be-
gan to quote the law which provided
for such a proceeding so Lucas wilted
and took the paper from her hands.
Among other things Mrs. Gertz says
in her petition:
THAT it seems defendant ]. A Ma
COON knows he is a powerful man and
is entitled to all the false oaths he
pleases, poor man would not have
gone through all the courts being ac-
cused of perjury he would be indicted
by the grand jury and by the jury trial
the sentence would be twenty years i'm
prisol,nent at hard labor
Mrs. Gertz also goes for Miss Doro-
thea Lamb, now Mrs. Emerson, for
buying the property and says she is
another fraud.
She adds, '"That petitioners attor-
ney, Mr.. Russell. refused to appeal or do
anything and leaving petitioner to her
fate, she appealed to Attorney General
Dole, to Acting Governor Cooper, to At
torney-G General Knox and lastly to
President Roosevelt all which advised
her must be fought out in the Terri
tory courts except Attorney General
Dole who said he had no time to arrest
]. A. Magoon or look into the charges
If fraud, robbery and perjury"
She says also no one was allowed to
ook into the ''robber business" and
hat any rascal would swear false when
ne can make thousands of dollars. but
why is such rascal protected by the
government and judges? May be it
shall be the fate of petitioner, as her
mother and mothers sister also were
robbed of great fortune after the
Heath of their parents about 1884 as
she said her brother and lawyers de-
orived them of most of their part The
courts were bad then
Mrs. Gertz charges all the attorneys
md judges in the Territory with divers
Illegal things and then says: In sum-
ming up all the different charges
against different parties the Hon. Chief |
Justice will come to the same conclu- |
;ion, that a conspiracy existed to de-
'troy Gertz business and rob his real |
estate. it seems that league is in ex-
silence and j. A. Magoon seems only |
hired to play the Satan and take away |
whatever they want. and it seems that |
he oath of the league is more obeyed
Is the official oath.
IF it was not so. how could the !
Judges do such wrongs and violate
heir judgeships.'
Mrs. Gertz closes her application for
nandamus with request that Magoon |
,e ordered to collect all the deeds and |
elease the mortgages, and says:
Your petitioner is not able TO put
he demands in a better, shorter shape,
IS the time does not allow an over
writing and your petitioner feels sick
rom so much writing, and therefore
he last pages are badly written.
Your petitioner is able whatever ex-
enses may be to pay.
Petitioner is entitled to more as she
SKIS, but she wishes to show leniency
o defendant J. A. Magoon."
