luckless jurors twiddled their thumbs
while ornaments of the bar told the
court of the spotlessness of their much
abused clients.
Three of them, Akiona, Okana and
Hamuda were charged with having che
ia tickets in their possession. c. c
Biting applied for bail for one he rep.
resented and Judge Gear fixed the bail
at $1,000, an amount which made the
attorney gasp. j. w. Cathcart and f.
NJ. Watson, who represented other of
the che ia men, added their mournful
protests but the judge was obdurate.
The legislature, he said, had fixed the
penalty at a fine of $1,000 or imprison-
ment for a year, and it was also the
practice not to accept bail for less than
the most severe punishment that could
be imposed, The argument grew ami
mated, not to say heated and still the
trial jurors twiddled their thumbs.
Finally Assistant Attorney General
Prosser appeared as a peacemaker and
said that he thought $500 would be suffi-
cient of a bond.
"Oh, very WE'LL" said the judge, "at
the request of the Attorney General the
bond will be fixed at $500"
The jury woke up hopefully. Perhaps,
the jurors thought, they were going to
be permitted to go to work again. But
no. There were other legal gentlemen
to be heard from.
In the prisoners row We're Matsuda
charged with fast and needless driving,
Makamoto, accused of selling liquor
without a license, Joseph Casino and
Kaniela alias Kuma for robbery in the
second degree, Pang Kau, for assault
and battery and E. Geneau, for murder
in the first degree.
They had all to be arraigned, but AS
sistant Attorney General Prosser point
ed out that the trial jury in the Franco
case was all there waiting patiently.
The judge suggested taking the ar
raignments at noon, but there was a
protest from the bar, and at last after
much more talk the arraignments were
put over until tomorrow at nine.
Then at last the Franca case was
recommended but not before an
indignant protest had been addressed
to Judge Gear by Juror j. A. M. john
son.
