The Supreme Court handed down a
decision this afternoon. Justice Cal
braith dissenting, in the Charles Not
ley will contest, which was appealed
from Hilo. The decision of Judge Lii,
tie, lnsuucting the Jury to find a YER
dict In favor of the proponents Of the
will is affirmed. Galbrath holds that
the case should have been left to the
jury.
The contest was fought at great
length in the Hlo circuit court. Not
ley left an estate valued at SiO0 1000. The
principal grounds of appeal were that
Mrs Emma Ddnforth, niece of the de-
ceased was given the homestead and
the portion of the estate naturally fall
ing 70 Charles Motley was given to the
latter's children. 1t was claimed that
Mrs. Danforth had used undue in
nuerce to obtln such will The
syllabus of the decision, by Chief Jus
tice Frear, says:
I'm deciding the question whether
there is sufficient evidence of undue in
fluence in the making Of will to go to
the jury the evidence must be con-
sdered in the light most favirable to
be considered as admitting not only
the facts which the contestants evil
dence tends to establish but also every
inference which a jury might fairly
draw from such evidence; in order to
Justify the direction of a verdict for
the proponents, there must be such
insufficiency of evidence in fact as to
amount to insufTiciency in law, there
must be an absence Of material and
substantial evidence, which, If be-
lieved by the jury. would in law justi-
fy verdict for the contestants; the
question i snot whether the evidence
shows in the opinion of the court that
the will was procured by undue in
fluence but whether it was such that
the jury could reasonably have so
found.

DELAYING PIN and
Ropes END USED

The first mate of the bark Ivanhoe
took the stand in Judge Dole's court
this morning and described how he
fioored one of the men with a Delaying
pin and showed others round and
l"cracked" them with the ends of ropes.
He also gave samples of the language
he used, declaring that he had been to
sea for nineteen years and never saw
a ship on which there was no swearing
The mates frankness was a surprise to
the libellants' attorneys, Humphreys
and Dunno, and appeared to be enjoy
ed by the crowd of sailors present.
Did you ever assault any one of the
libellants?" asked Stanley, naming the
-four sailors who brought the suit. The
question was allowed, after Dunno had
objected partly on the ground that the
question called for the witness conclu-
sion as to what an assault was.
"Bittner is the only one I ever as
saulted," said the mate. "The others I
may have hurried up, pushed them
around and hit them with the end of a
rope, but there was no assault"
The mate, who is a big stout siX-foot-
er and answers to the name of Hay
ward, was asked to describe the trou-
BILE with Bittner, which rose to the dig

Edward Vivian Richardson, chief
clerk of the Water Works bureau, was
arrested this morning on suspicion of
enlbezzlement, as a result of a short
age which is said to have been dis
covered in his accounts. The exact
amount of the shortage is not yet
known but it is stated that an exam
ination of the accounts shows as much
as S1,S0O "carried-over, in the ac-
counts. The matter was reported to
Governor Carter this morning and he
at once gave orders that the young
man be taken into custody. This was
done Immediately by the High Sheriff.
Richardson's troubles are said to be
largely due to heavy losses at a gam
bling game in a downtown saloon re-
Gently. He is said to have made a
visit to the Office of the waterwOrks at
about ten o'clock one evening, opened
the safe of the office and drawn there
from a bag of gold with which to con-
tinue the game, in which he was a
heavy loser 1t is said that the game
was a very heavy one, with stacks of
gold in sight, and that Richardson's $
losses ran up into the hundreds.
The exposure came partly through
the night watchman having seen
Richardson enter the Capitol grounds
and office late i'm the evening. He be-
came suspicious that all was not right
Richardson had the combination of the
safe as well as the key to the office.

from mere showing around and the use
of a ropes end.

said Hayward, land 1 ordered Bittner
up. He said he wanted breakfast and
l showed him towards the rigging and
then we had a tussle. l saw that he
was as good as 1 was and perhaps bet
ter. l knew that if he got the best of
me l would be no good as a mate any
more, so l called to the second mate to
pass me Delaying pin. He did so and
gave Bittner a crack on the head. He
fell to his knees and I believe there
was bit of blood on his head. He went
aft and I followed and told him to get
bucket of water and wash his head
and then go aloft."
