The HiIo Justice
AMAzEs
Law Officials

Government officials returning from
Hilo this week were crestfallen lot.
They had gone up to the metropolis of
iilo armed with evidepce in num-
Der of important cases which they nat.
urally expected would loom into I'm.
portant trials before the Judge of the
Fourth Circuit. Under the charge
made to the Grand Jury by Judge
Parsons. the claim Is made that the
Grand Jury brushed aside the most
palpable array Of evidence appertain.
ing to the alleged Irregularities of n
public Official. The gossip In Official
circles here indicates that the convic.
tion has taken root that the instru.
ments Of justice in Hilo were used to
prevent thorough probing OF gross
maladministration in the land depart.
ment.
The findings of the grand Jury In
the Baldwin case were promptly fol.
lowed by the dismissal OF the charges
against Messrs. Ragsdale and VII.
liams. The Attorney General, 30 on.
lockers say, felt that II the court and
grand jury could do politics, the ma.
chinery Of his Office should not be
above the same trick.
In other words, II the Carter admin.
istration had suffered as a result of
the jury charge of Parsons, who is a
Carter Judge. the Attorney General
saw way to save the administration
by drawing off the prosecution, which
had been In sincerity and seriousness
laid against two Hawaiians. The At.
] torney General was able to report Ia
his chief that he had won the graft
tude of the sympathizers with Rags
dale and Chas. Williams.
The action of the Hilo grand Jury
In returning a verdict OF no bill
against Il. ID. Baldwin was the most
astounding occurrence that has taken
place in the turbulent courts of Ha
wall. II the comment OF officials here
may be taken as fair sign. One OF
the circumstances which II Is impos
sible for the officials here to reconcile
with the grand jury's finding, Is the
alleged possession of proof by the At
torney General, that Mr.. Baldwin dur
Ing the two weeks previous to his
hearing, had been paying back TO pur
chasers OF government land the mon
les which he denied eyer having re-
ceived.
This with other evidence Is claimed
to have been disregarded and the &C
ton of the grand jury is charged tc
the tenor and drift of Judge Parsons
charge.
Carl S. Smith, Judge Parsons for
mer law partner took charge OF the
Territorial prosecution after the dc
parture of Attorney General Andrews
