He Is known, and has been known for a
long time past in criminal circles as a
very wise guy indeed. There be those

The Chillingworth and Ahoo indict-
| ments were the sensation of the grand
jury's report, but they were not all of
it. There were eight more indictments,
and the offenses charged were various
In one of the cases the man charged
was not arrested last night, and of
course that indictment is still on the
| secret file. OF the others, there were
four charges of illegal liquor selling
| against N. r. Spencer, of Iwilei. Spen-
Ger was gathered into the net easily
enough, and gave $3.50 cash bail at a
late hour last night.
There was also an indictment, con-
tanning three counts, charging Henry
Vierra, the defaulting clerk lately dis
| charged for peculation from the De-
partment of Public Works, with embez-
element on three counts. The total
amount taken is alleged to have been
$27. Vierra was easily found and ar
rested by the Deputy Sheriff, and was
released last night on $500 bail, with
Solomon Mahelona as surety.
Leon Renaud was indicted on two
charges of illegal liquor selling. He
was arrested late in the evening, and
| gave $3.50 cash bail.
| The one indictment that was put on
the open file when the grand jury made
its report was that charging Kahilia-
lau with murder. The accused man is
native, SO years old. and killed an
other native of the name of Joseph Ka-
ma few weeks ago. He confessed the
crime, shortly after its COM
mission, to Chester Doyle, who
had worked up the case against
him. This man Kahilialau is an old
offender, having once before served
sentence on the reef for murderous as
sault. The story of that old crime it
self an interesting tale, is told in the
Pacific Commercial Advertiser of April
81 1872 under the heading of "a Saw
age Attempt at Murder
Last Wednesday evening, at quar-
ter before eleven o'clock, native boy
came running into the station house
with the information that Mr.. c. C.
Bennett, who keeps a variety store
on the Kalihi road, about a mile and

dispatch to the place. accompanied by
DR.. McGrew. Mr.. Bennett was found
to have received two cuts with large,
twelve inch butcher knife. one across
the back OF the neck at the base of the
skull, which was six inches long and
one and half deep, and the other on
the cheek, which was slight. Although
the first cut made a horrible cash and
bled profusely, the doctor who dressed
the wound apprehends no immediate
danger to life"
After mentioning the arrest of nine
different men for the crime, the Adver-
tiser relates that Kahilialau, a hanger
on at the fishmarket. was finally TAX
en- into custody as the tenth and was
recognized by Mr.. Bennett as his as
sailant. The man pretended to be in
sane after his arrest, but was tried
at the ensuing term of court neverthe-
less and sentenced to five years on the
reef.
Mr. Bennett, the victim of Kahilia-
lau's fury, was man of considera BILE
prominence in the Honolulu of his day.
He was the man who first numbered
the houses of the little city, some mis-
