evening a report TO the effect that Ma
one went 10 the house again after leav
ing his sisters, and that he took
butcher knife from the kitchen wa
telephoned in. This was given colo
by the fact that Naone threatened II
| XIII himself in his letters. One thing
is sure, Naone will sooner or later bv
run down, though he may kill himself
in an out-of-the-way place and give the
| police a long hunt.
SCENE OF THE MURDER.
The house where the murder was
committed is a one-story affair at the
| corner OF South street and Kawaiahao
lane. 1t is surrounded by high fence
and is built almost across the narrow
lot though it sits far back from South
street which it faces. The door through
which the murderer entered opens on a
small porch on the South street side.
Just inside the door is passageway
about four and a half feet wide and
seven feet long On the right as one
enters is a small bedroom and on the
left the room where the murder took
place. This is a small room about
1Ox10 and entirely unfurnished. Oppo-
site the door is a window which is.
within foot of Mr.. Lawelawe's dining
room window. Just under the window
lay the body. The hall mentioned
above opens out into the. biga living
room in which the murdered woman
was undressing the children when her
husband entered. A wide door leads
from this room to a similar one just
beyond it.
Beneath the window in the little room
lay the body of the murdered woman.
She was dressed in a white holoku with
pink stripe in it. Her tangled black
hair fell over her face and shoulders.
At the shoulder a great round
hole had been burned in the dress by
the flame from the muzzle of the re-
volver. About the shoulder and breast
the holoku was soaked with blood.
Otherwise the woman might have been
asleep. BY her side sat the mother
of Naone, crying as if her heart would
break, not oyer the son who had dis
graced the family name and was even
now a fugitive from justice bearing
whom she loved more than he who had
promised to love and cherish her. In
the next room, in the midst of a great
crowd of the morbidly curious the
three little children were being cared
for. All are mere babies, one a year
old, one two and the Oldest not yet
four. 1t was a. pitiful sight to see the
poor little children gazing with Won
dering eyes at the crowds, and The |
bright uniforms of the police all I'M
conscious that their mother was dead
and their father a murderer.

Mrs Naone senior was seen last night |
and told the story substantially as
given above. She said that she did not |

and cry, on mother, Philip is going to
