LUZ LOCK
ARR9A|GhEO
A Dramatic Conclusion
to Criminal Term
Business.
(From Sundays Advertiser)

i
Lui Lock was arraigned under indict-
ment for murder in the first degree, as
the last item of criminal business of
| the April term of the First Circuit
Court. before Judge De Bolt yesterday
morning. He was charged with muir
dering L. T. Chin on Wednesday, June
%, 1904, by inflicting two mortal wounds
upon him with bullets fired from pis-
| toll.
While Interpreter Ii Cheung was
orally translating the contents of the
| indictment to him, Lui Lock seemed to
pose as an entertained listener to a
story that had no unpleasant interest
for him. With arms folded like sena-
tor in the forum, his left hand grasping
the copy of the Indictment with which
he had been served, the prisoner lean
| ed his head toward the interpreter as If
| to catch every word. There was not a
trace of nervousness in the regular
winlSing of the eyelids, while the eyes
glanced alternately upward into space
and downward upon the original copy
of the indictment in Ii Cheung's hands.
An unknowing spectator might easily
take it that the two men were an attor-
ney and his client, the former reading
a contract of some kind which he had
drawn up for the latter's approval.
more perfect exhibition of bravado In
the demeanor of one charged with q
crime involving the death penalty has
not for long been seen in a Hawaiian
court The effect was heightened by
shrewd and sinister features the accus-
ed possesses.
Judge De Bolt, through the inter-
prefer, told Lui Lock that he was not
required at that time to say anything
1t was the last day of the term, the ac-
cused was informed, so that he could
have no trial until September. In the
meantime he might wish to consult his
friends and counsel, which brought ur
the matter of bonds. The court would
not decide at that time that the case
was not bailable, as the statute was not
absolutely certain on that point. Its
words We're:
"All persons charged with crimina
offenses shall be bailable by sufficient
sureties, unless for capital offenses
where the proof is evident or the pre-
sumption great"
Even in a murder case, Judge De
Bolt said there might be bail under
certain circumstances.
"Then he does not want to plead?'
Deputy Attorney Gene raj Fleming in
quiringly remarked.
The Court-"It would be no use, be
cause the law requires forty-eight hour!
after conviction before sentence, ant
the present term will not last so Ions
as that"
All cases on the calendar undisposet
of We're then continued till next tern
and the court adjourned without day
