ting in the High Sheriff's Office. telling

cause the man had jumped out of the

opened his knife and lungei at him
with it. He stated that his knife
struck the body of Mr.. Damon.
Afterwards they ran. up the. road,
and then took a lane which put them
on the Oahu Railroad track. They walk

| By nine o'clock the news of the muir
der had gone into all parts of the city
and crowd of men, and even women
started for the Police Station. The
crowd surged back and forth around the
entrances eager to learn anything con-
corning the murder, or the murderer.
Later on in the evening, or toward 10
o'clock, there were rumors that a lynch
! ing might take place. No credence was
put in this statement at the time.
About midnight it was seen that a
large crowd had gathered near the cor
ner of Fort and Merchant streets, and
groups of men began forming on the
postoffice landings. Suddenly the fire
alarm whistle sounded. The crowd be-
came active and started toward the
waterfront via the Police Station way.
The patrol wagon was hitched up as
usual but it did not move out of the
stable. Neither did any police go. 1t
was noticed then that there was a larg-
er number of men on duty than usual.
Some carried rifles and all wore re-
volvers strapped about their waists.
AS the crowd began to cellect about the
postoffice the High Sheriff and officers
began to do things. First the entrance
, to the stable was cleared. Then doors
were slammed, and while the crowd
were wondering why the patrol WACO
did not move out, there was a changing
of an iron gate, a whip lash was heard
to snap across the horses, backs and
the wagon shot out into tie street. half
a dozen officers standing in it guard
ing the form of Jose Miranda who sat
in the bed of the wagon. The patrol
wagon careened as it swung out of
Merchant into Nuuanu street and be-
fore the crowd knew it the prisoner was
being dashed along at a mad rate to-
ward Oahu Prison where he was lodged
safely in a CELL
The instant the patrol wagon darted
out clerk McKfnnon wrapped his arms
around H. c. Birbe. who was standing
on the sidewalk and hustled him into
the station house, and then released
him with a smile as the patrol wagon
