SMITH SECURES
DECISION vs.. DEL

Judge Gear decided the case Of Law
renee II. Dee vs.. w. II. Smith today.
in which the opinion not only sets
forth the facts and law governing the
case, but carries with 1t q running
comment on the ethics of legal prac.
tice. The decision confirms the title
in certain lands to w. II. Smith, the de-
PENDANT.
The decision is in part as follows:
Complainant in this action seeks to
avoid and set aside a conveyance on
the ground Of fraud. The bill alleges
that complainant Is a purchaser at en-.
ecution sale of certain property alleg.
ed to have belonged to the judgment
debtor Frank Hustace, and by him
transferred without consideration to
the defendant w. II. Smith, for the
purpose Of hlnderlng, delaying and de.
frauding the creditors Of said Hus.
tace. The bill is in the nature of a
bill to remove a cloud upon title.
The answer. among other things, de-
MES that there was any intent to de.
lay. hinder or defraud creditors in the
making or taking of the conveyance
and alleges that while absolute in
form the conveyance was given as Sc
curity for the advancement of the
sum Of 100000, which sum of mon
ey was actually and in good faith paid
to said Hustace by the defendant.
II appears from the evidence that
prior to June Q. 1902, an action In
equity known as the Kamalo Sugar
Company case was pending In the
Circuit Court and that on June 0
! 1902. a decree was made in the case
against Messrs. Hustace, Foster and
Egan In favor of the complainant
therein, for s39,7S1.sS, and the return
of certain shares of stock.
On June ~, 1902, Mr.. Hustace paid
into court 81, 901.67 and certain shares
OF stock, that being what he believed
to be his pro rata of the judgment.
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1904-06-23

The deed sought to be set aside was
made and executed September 3rd,
1902.
II appears from the testimony that
Mr.. Hustace owed Mr.. N. Louisson the
sum OF $4,000 on note dated Febru.
airy 10, 1902, which was a renewal Of u
former note. The executors pressed
Mr.. Hustace for payment OF this note,
and declined to renew 1t. Hustace APP
piled to Mr.. w. H. Smith for the loan
to meet the note due Mr.. Louisson, Of
fering him certain sugar stock and the
land in question as security. To this
Mr.. Smith agreed, telling Mr.. Hustace
that he would advance the money.
Three months thereafter, to-wit, on
! December 3, 1902, an execution was
issued and levied upon the land In
question, and on January s, 1908. the
sheriff executed a deed to the com.
plainant In this action of the land. up.
on a consideration of $1,000.
In explanation of the deed to Chas.
Hustace, Jr.. the following facts ap-
pear: It seems that Mr.. Hustace hav'
ing paid In his one-third Of the amount
of the decree In the Kamalo suit, Mr..
Dee, the complainant herein, went to
: Mr.. Hustace and told him that 1t was
q shame to make him pay the whole of
the judgment, and counseled and ad.
vised him to convey away all of his
property so that they could proceed
against Foster and Eagan. Mr.. Dee
went to Mr.. Robertson and Mr.. Cooper
and told them the same story, saying
that Mr.. Hustace having paid his pro
rata ought not to be made to pay
more. Both Mr.. Dee and his attorney,
Mr.. Magoon. urged Mr.. Hustace to con.
vey away his property, so that the Ka.
malo Sugar Company, represented by
both Mr.. Dee and Mr.. Magoon, could
proceed against the property of Mes.
srs. Foster and Eagan, 1t being their
claim that no proceedings could be
taken against either Foster or Eagan
until an execution against Mr.. Hustace
had been returned nulla bona. Mr..
Eagan had transferred certain proper
ty to his wife and Dee and Magoon
wanted to file a suit in equity to get
this deed set aside.
Mr.. Robertson testified as to com.
munication he had with Mr.. Dee as 70,
lows:
We'll he told me that both Eagan
and Foster had property. that they
ought to be--and that execution ought
to believed on their property, but
derstood-had transferred his resi-
dence site in Honolulu to his wife's
name, and that steps ought to be taken

Hustace was to give a bond to secure
the company, the testimony of Mr..
Hustace fatty contradicis 1t, and Mr..
Robertson does not remember anything
being said about It.
It is significant that, although Mr..
Hustace, advised to do so by both Mr..
Magoon and Mr.. Dee, executed a deed
OF large portion Of his property to
his brother without consideration for
the avowed purpose of hindering and
defrauding his creditors, he. Mr.. Hus-
tace, did not include In this deed the
property In question. II he was acting

property In dispute. why did he not in

brother? This would have avoided
the making of two separate deeds, and
would have Invested ! I'm of the title.
1t seems to me that the transaction in
question was perfectly fair and legiti-

AN INSULT TO DB BOLT.

n Circuit Judge De Bolt we're ever
in his offiaial career treated to an in
sulting slap in the face he received il
this morning when the morning paper
gratuitously took a hand in the SEN
fencing of Kumalae and Johnson, con
DE Bolts court. Some may read the
remarks of the morning paper as a
venting of enmity on the convicted
men. Possibly It was SO intended.
From the standpoint of judicial integ-
rity, however, it is more blow at De
Bolt than an injury to the men whom
he must sentence
The gratuitous recommendation Of
fered, a newspaper plea for the prose-
cution Is nothing II not an exhibition
Of fear that the First Judge of the Cir
cult Court lacks backbone and must
be bolstered up in order that justice
as one individual or class interprets 1t,
shall be done. 1t is plain interference
with justice, combination of threat
and cajolery which centers solely upon
the Judge who has taken the oath to
fulfill his duty to the laws OF the coun-
try and presumably is capable of car
rying II out. The only suggestion OF
his inability to do SO is found in the
butt in" OF the Advertiser while the
case is still pending and up to the
Judge"

tried to extend the loan, which was
refused. He tried to borrow the mon
ey Of several persons, but could not
do SO. He negotiated loan with Mr.
Smith. Mr.. Smith paid him $4,000
cash. This $4,000 cash was paid to
take up the first note. and has never
been repaid. Mr.. Smith was given the
land in dispute as security. From the
evidence It is clear to me that the
whole transaction in regard to the
land in question was regular and prop
err, and find that II was not made with
the purpose of hindering. delaying and
defrauding creditors. but on the con
trary was made with the intent and
purpose of paying a creditor what was
then due. AS the deed was taken as
security, the plaintiff will. upon pay.

any Japanese who might land on Lisi'
ansky that bird-catching on that island
was against the laws OF the United
States. II made provision. however.
that any boat which might come for
the purpose of fetching the men who
left in the Thetis, could take away the
catch which these had left behind.
Speaking of the methods employed
by the Japanese bird-catchers and the
extent to which they do It. the officers
OF the Thetis say that they calculate
the that gang, which they found on
Lisiansky had killed about 100000
birds. or these 100000 skins we're left
behind on the island. The rest had
been taken away by the Tiyu Maru.
The Japanese first landed at Midway
Island for the purpose Of catching
birds there. The Midway people drove
them away. whereupon the Japanese
went to Lisiansky. Here they started
in big bird-killing business. Most Of
the birds killed were black tern, there
being but few bo'sun birds and gooneys
left. The birds were skinned and
stuffed for the purpose OF sending
them to the French market.
The Japanese would start out in the
morning armed with sticks. They
would knock as many birds over the
head as they thought we're enough for
the days business. and would then
proceed to gather the dead birds to-
gether. The men had strict orders to
bring the dead birds to the preparing
houses and not to skin them on the
field. The officers of the Thetis are of
the opinion that the killing was car
ried on in a most humane manner.
They found only one MANNED bird. This
bird had only one wing. the other
having been cut of. This had evident
lily been done by one Of the men in d.
rect disobedience to the managers or
ders. Only very small percentage Of
birds were allowed to escape in a
wounded condition.

to get that property back, and have
the execution satisfied in part at least
on that property"
He also testified: AT my office Mr.
Magoon favored Hustaco making a
transfer for the purposes advocated by
Mr.. Dee"
Mr.. Robertson further testified on
cross-examination by Magoon as fol
lows:
%. At the time when you say you
doubted the propriety of the transac.
ton. did you not say that you thought
the court would criticise such step?''
"A. Yes; that was what I thought
and what said
O.. And did I not say to you that
thought the court upon being fuzzy
informed of all the circumstances
would not criticise It; that, as a mat.
ter of fact, II ought to be done with
the full knowledge Of the court?
"A. No; don't recollect that you
ever suggested that II ought to be done
with the knowledge Of the court: you
didn't take my view Of the improprie-
ty Of the proposed transfer
'Mr. Hustace testified that Mr.. Dee
after telling him to transfer his prop
erty so suit will be brought against
Eagan and Foster, went with him to
see Mr.. Magoon in order to have Mr.
Magoon bring such an action. This
Mr.. Magoon agreed to do. and told Mr.
| Hustace he would want a retainer OF
$3.50 before commencing proceedings
Mr. Hustace agreed to this. This con
versation took place on Saturday and
on the following Monday Mr.. Hustace
delivered to Mr.. Magoon in his Office
In the presence of Mr.. Dee check fol
$3.50 as a retainer in the case, which
check was afterwards cashed by Mr.

ever, and Mr.. Magoon still retains the
money.
Mr.. Magoon and Mr.. Dee while not
denying the facts as above stated
seek to justify this action by stating
that Mr.. Hustace was to give a bond
to the Kamalo Sugar Company to pay
the balance of the judgment In case II
was not collected from Eagan and Eos

COMPLETE JUSTICE AT LAST.

Having restored Judge A. s. Hum
phreys, who was unjustly disbarred,
and F. Z. Thompson. who was unjust
ly suspended. to practice in the courts
OF the Territory, the recognized Su-
preme Court has done all II could do
toward righting the wrong done by the
old majority court. A chapter Of the
most serious record Of injustice ever
known In the Hawaiian Islands, dur
ing its recent history at least is closed.
It is to be regretted that such fight
for justice and that from the highest
court In the Territory should ever have
been necessary. and the fact must ever
remain a stain on the judicial history
OF the Territory AS well as the officials
who made up the former Supreme
Court majority. The injury done these
attorneys Is in some respects irrepar-
able. Among non-residents unacquaint-
cd with the facts, the disbarment and
suspension record must necessarily
arouse some suspicion. Among the
people OF Hawaii, however. these at
torneys are not only held In high es-
TEEN but have widespread sympathy
which ever goes out from honest hearts
TO innocent men, who through judicial
prejudice have been declared guilty.
The victims Of the. court are more
widely respected than the Justices re-
sponsible for injustice.
The lessons Of this fight for justice
that not only reorganized the court but
gave the Territory the strongest-even
with Justice Frear-court the islands
have ever had. are many and valuable.
They show to those recently come in
to American citizenship that the Fed

not knowingly allow wrong to be
perpetrated through the courts. Had

tain In Hawaii factional crimes In the
name OF justice has gone. And no true
American weeps over its departure.

1HET|S VISITED
many LONE ISLANDS

The revenue cutter Thetis arrived
this morning after her cruise to Mid
way, Laysan and Lisiansky. She was
locked in the stream at about o'clock.
The Thetis enjoyed pleasant weather
Throughout almost her entire voyage.
To the westward Of Bird Island she
met with continuous rain squalls but
no storms were encountered. The The
tbs did not visit French Frigate Shoal
as 1t had been expected that she might
do. AS a consequence she brings no
news of Captain Weisbarth and his ex-
pedition.
The most noteworthy fact Of the The
It's cruise is that she brought back
from Lisiansky island seventy-seven
japanese bird catchers, who were close
to starvation owing to the failure Of
their vessel to return to fetch them.
The Japanese will be put ashore In
this port and will be sent from here to
Japan.
The Thetis left Honolulu June s. She
arrived at Laysan Island on June II.
She only stayed there long enough to
deliver her mail. Everything was re-
ported to be in good shape at Laysan.
The schooner Robert Levers was lying
of the island loading guano. Her work
seemed to be proceeding in fine shape.
The revenue cutter arrived at Mid
way Island June 16 in the morning.
She remained there all through the
day discharging stores for the Com
mercial Cable Company and for the
detachment of marines which Is sta
toned there. The only passenger for
Midway, Chief Engineer Whaley. was
also landed. The Thetis found all well
on Midway. The marines as well as
the cable people we're all enjoying good
health. During the day most Of the
officers Of the Thetis went ashore
where they were received with the
greatest hospitality by the lonesome
islanders, who but seldom have q
chance to entertain strangers. Some OF
the officers dined with the marine Of
ficer in charge and others with the
cable people. The steamer Leggett was
at Midway discharging building ma
terial and stores. She expected to fin
ish discharging June 16, when she was
to return to San Francisco.
The Thetis left Midway Island on
the evening OF the 18th and proceeded
to Lisiansky Island, where she arrived
June Is. Captain Hamlet and several
officers went ashore Immediately. They
found seventy-seven Japanese who
were almost without provisions and
were very anxious to leave the island
