tFrom Saturdays Advertiser)

March 27, by firing two shots at her
with a revolver. There were some sem
sational episodes in the course, of the
trial. which kept happening right to
the end w. S. Fleming, Assistant At
torney General, and Frank Andrade
appeared for the prosecution, and Hen
ry Hogan for the defendant. The first
twelve jurors drawn were accepted by
both sides, being: II. c. Austin, Z. j.

pauole II. p. Kaohi, G. II. Bellina, &.

witnesses called for the Territory in
the forenoon were j. S. Fox, Geo. f.
Shull Albert Gunderson, Chas. Lam
bert, Chas. G.. Morasky, Mrs. Mary
Catherine Harrison and Mrs. Lily ke-
kipi. A revolver and cartridges were
presented as exhibits.
The first symptom of trouble occurred
when Judge De Bolt rebuked Mr.. Ho-
gan for making a farce of the exam
ination of jurors.
officer Lambert, who arrested Harri-
son, was handed the weapon and am
munition to identify. Mr. Hogan jump
ed forward and snatching the revolver
out of the witnesses hand placed it on
the table in front of Mr.. Fleming.
HOGAN CHECKED.
"Don't do that again, Mr.. Hogan"
Judge De Bolt said reprimandingly to
the attorney, pointing his finger at him.
When the next witness had taken. the
stand, Juror Kidwell interrupted Mr..
Flemings questions by rising to re-
mark:
Before this trial proceeds any fur
ther, 1 desire to say that it is impos-
sible for the jury not to be prejudiced
against the defendant on account of
the manner in which his counsel Is
conducting himself"
Judge De Bolt said it was sometimes
very trying to the court itself, but the
Jury must not be influenced by any
prejudice. They should be guided sole
ly by the evidence.
Mr.. Hogan gazed at the complaining
Juror steadfastly until the prosecution
was done with the witness. Then, with
a sideong stare at Mr.. kidwell, he
bowed to the court and emphatically
asked:
MAY I have the permission of the
objectng juror to ask u few questions
of the witness?'
Judge De Bolt replied that he had
all of the privileges of an attorney so
long as he exercised such in n proper
manner The cross-examination then
proceeded without friction to it's close.
THE wIFE's ACCOUNT.
Mrs Harrison testified about leaving
her house in Liliha street the night in
question, going on board the car and
seeing her husband get aboard on the
opposite side. She was not looking at
him, but heard two shots fired and saw
Harrison's arm raised. The flashes
passed by her face and she fell off the
car Against the objections of Mr.. Ho-
gan she was allowed to testify of trou-
BILE between her husband and herself
as having been usual in their married
life, and of threats he had made short
ly previous to the shooting that he
would blow out her brains.
On the night in question, as Mrs
Harrison testified, there was n luau
next door to their home. Under cross
examination she said she had drank
something there. She could not remem-
ber the number of drinks she had TAX
en-, but said 1t might have been foul
or five.
WAS it water, tea or whisky" Mr.
Hogan asked.
"They had wine and beer" witness
curtly answered.
Another cross admission was thai
on the evening of the shooting she hat
thrown all of Harrison's things out OF
the house.
Mrs. Kekipl, at whose house the Har'
risons lived, is a fair woman-of SaNor
blonde type almost-yet her e. nina
tion did not proceed far in English un
til she became dumb to the questions
and asked leave TO give her evidence
in Hawaiian. She told of connubial jar
of the couple and, through lnterprete
Hopkins repeated this threat OF hus
band 10 wife:
''By and by you will be a dead WON
an. will put you In a coffin"
