/ had been partners IN the nNerN buSl-
ness conducted by Ahoo. from which
| chnIingworth once testified that he re-
ceived an income of about $500 a
week.
The charges in the other two indict-
ments against Chfllingworth are that
he extorted money from japanese
man and woman. breaking down the
door of the woman's house in order to
catch the pair, and telling them that
they could escape the necessity of com
ing TO the Station House by the pay
nent to him of twenty-five dollars
This money. it is alleged, was never
accounted for TO the police department.
Ahoo, indicted with Chillingworth on
the large charge of extortion, did not
receive the same consideration as his
companion in misfortune. He was ar
rested at his place of business shortly
before dinner time last night. and lin
| gered in Jail for several hours before
he could find bail. He did get bonds
men, however, after a time, his bail
| fixed also at $1,000. The securities in his
case are Lam On and Lee w. Chung.
Il don't know what I'm arrested for
| said Ahoo, playing checkers with his
nose behind the bars before his bonds
! men appeared at the jail. policeman
| came and took me. That's all 1 know
Ahoo will be wiser, no doubt, today
| He is known, and has been known for
long time past in criminal circles as a
very wise guy indeed. There be those
who say that Ahoo has been the whole
head and front of the Chinese gambling
fraternity in times that are no more
that is, of the so-called protected
fraternity"
The Chillingworth and Ahoo indict-
ments We're the sensation of the grand
jury's report, but they were not all of
it. There We're eight more indictments,
and the offenses charged were various.
In one of the cases the man charged
was not arrested last night, and of
course that indictment is still on the
secret file. OF the others, there were
four charges of illegal liquor selling
against n. r. Spencer. of Iwilei. Spen-
Ger was gathered into the net easily
enough, and gave $3.50 cash bail at a
late hour last night.
There was also an indictment, con-
tanning three counts, charging Henry
Vierra, the defaulting clerk lately dis
charged for peculation from the De-
partment of Public Works, with embez-
Element on three counts. The total |
amount taken is alleged to have been |
$27. Vierra was easily found and ar
rested by the Deputy Sheriff, and was |
Solomon Mahelona as surety.
Leon Renaud was indicted on two
charges of illegal liquor selling. He |
was arrested late in the evening and
gave $3.50 cash bail.
The one indictment that was put on
the open file when the grand jury made
its report was that charging Kahilia-
lau with murder. The accused man is
a native, SO years old and killed an
other native of the name OF Joseph Ka-
ma a few weeks ago. He confessed the
crime, shortly after its com,
to Chester Doyle, who
had worked up the case against
him. This man Kahilialau is an old
offender, having once before served a
sentence on the reef for murderous as
sauIt. The story of that old crime it
self an interesting tale, is told in the
Pacific Commercial Advertiser of April
81 1872 under the heading of "a Saw
age Attempt at Murder"
Last Wednesday evening, at a quar-
ter before eleven O'Clock, a native boy
came running into the station house
with the information that Mr.. C. G.
who keeps a variety store
on the Kalihi road, about mile and
a half from town, had been almost kill
ed by a native named Makanui Both
the Marshal and Deputy We're near at
hand, and proceeded with all possible
to the place, accompanied by
DR.. McGrew. Mr.. Bennett was found
to have received two cuts with a large,
twelve inch butcher knife, one across
the back, of the neck at the base of the
skull, which was six inches long and
one and a half deep. and the other on
the cheek, which was slight Although |
the first cut made a horrible cash and
oled profusely, the doctor who dressed
the wound apprehends no immediate
1anger to life
After mentioning the arrest of nine
different men for the crime, the Adver- :
User relates that Kahilialau. hanger
IN at N1e f1shmarket. was finally TAX
m into custody as the tenth and was
recognized by Mr.. Bennett as his as
'ailant The man pretended to be in l
'ane after his arrest, but was tried {
It the ensuing term of court neverthe-
ess and sentenced to five years on the I
eef. a
Mr.. Bennett, the victim of Kahilia- b
aus fury, was, man of considera BILE Y
Prominence in the Honolulu of his day. 3
lie was the man who first numbered Il
he houses of the little city, some mis- r
hievous boys going about at night at G
hat time and tearing down the num- Il
ers after he had put them up. He
we'd for considerable time after he t

The accused native has been in Gus u
