The event should direct the atten-

event of their breaking great loss
of life and property must ensue.
A careful examination of these

to locate them where an accident

Rabbits are being hunted assidu-
ously. and although there are
plenty of them, the leaves and
underbrush are still too thick to
give the hunter much chance to

WAIALUA CASE
ENDS At LAST
CHINESE CHARGED WITH RIOT
ING SECURE A VERDICT OF AC-
QUITTAL.

After many adjournments and delays
the Waialua riot case was finally dis
posed of by Judge Gear this morning,
the jury dismissing the accused, Chun
Lun, All Kim, John Doe and Richard
Roe on a directed verdict by the court
The dismissal was ordered on the
ground that the prosecution had failed
to prove that the names in the indict-
ment We're ito the Grand Jurors UNI
known" as the indictment set forth.
On the original motion for a directed
verdict which was made by Judge
Humphreys some weeks ago denial
was given by the court, Attorney Dou-
thitt noting an exception. Judge Hum
phreys then rose and moved to dismiss
on the ground that the court had
abused its legal discretion i'm contnu-
ing the case from time to time for such
long period and also for having start
ed another jury trial. that of the Ter
ritory against Fullerton, while this
first case was unfinished. Judge Hum
| phreys claimed that as most of the wit
nesses We're Hawaiian, Portuguese,
| Chinese or Japanese persons with un-
usual names whose testimony had to be
| translated, the jury could not i'm the
| lllne lHdl udu elapsed remember lie
testimony with any clearness. He could
not see any cause for the number of
adjournments and thought that the
court had lost its Jurisdiction in the
case.
Assistant Attorney General Prosser
argued that the court had been right in
going to the bottom of the case and
making a ruling based on authorities in
the matter of the motion to direct the
jury instead of merely making a pro
forma decision. BY the motion all of
the Grand Jury indictments were at
tackled and he thought it only proper
that the court should have taken ample
time in reaching a decision.
Judge Gear pointed out to the de-
fence that there had been no objection
to the different adjournments. AS there
was now another motion which he
would continue the case for another
day Both prosecution and defence be-
ing anxious to go on however, the court
ruled against the motion to dismiss and
babe the trial proceed.
The evidence being all in Judge Hum
phTeys waived his right n argument
and Assistant Attorney General Pros
ser addressed the jury. Judge Gear
then directed the jury to dismiss on the
ground quoted that 1t had not beer
proved that the names of the accused
had been proved to have been unknown
to the Grand Jury. The jury returned
the verdict and the four Cinnamon, APP
