The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1904-01-20

Regarding a contract which Davis
claimed had been lost at the trial and
which he also claimed implicated Ma
COON and Peters, Justice Galbraith
says:
This contract, possibly, would not
have established respondents innocence
of the charges against him if it had
been produced and given in evidence at
the hearing. But it does tend to dis
prove one of the chs. ges found against
him, namely that he did impede, him
der and delay a settlement of a suit
that his client was willing to make
without right so to DO. 1t further tends
tC prove that the other attorneys who
signed this contract with respondent
were guilty of gross abuse of the pro-
cess Of the courts i'm making a con-
tract for fees for one-third of the
amount that might be recovered in ain
injunction suit and one to declare a
man non compos, when the legitimate
object of neither suit was to recover
money, nor could suit have resulted in
money judgment if prosecuted in
good faith to final judgment.
This contract certainly tends to dem
onstrate one further fact namely, that
the court has not done full and COM
pletc justice in this case, although the
respondent may be guilty as found,
and also that full and complete justice
will not be done in this case by dis
barring the respondent and permitting
the two attorneys associated with him
7 A..
court ought to re-eXamine the charges
in the light of this new evidence in
order to make sure that no innocent
man is punished and that no guilty
man escapes"

DAVIS is DENIED
A REHEARLNG
CONTINUED from Page ~

In his dissenting opinion Justice Gal
braith says:
THE reasons given against the judg-
ment of disbarment in this case, par
ticularly that that the findings of fact
are not supported by credible testi-
mony' i'm my opinion, should be suffi-
clent reason for ordering a rehearing.
In addition to these the respondent
presents two grounds in his applica-
ton that are entitled to thoughtful con-
sideraton, namely, % That two mem
bers of the court were disqualified to
sit in the case, CO The contract of en-
ployment in the first instance offered as
additional evidence and as throwing
new light on the case.
1T will be observed that Section "a
places a judge and juror on the
same plane in so far as the disqualiti-
cation of that section is concerned and
prescribed that each shall be disqual-
fed when interested in the issue to be
tried. 1t will not be -laimed that this
section is exclusive, or that there are
no other disqualified lions than that Of
interest when applied to jurors. Then
can it be claimed with any more reason
that there are not other grounds Of
REFUSING judge than pecuniary inter-
est in the suit?
This proceeding was not an appeal
but was an original cause in this court.
BY it the original and not the appellate
jurisdiction of the court was invoked.
In disposing of it the court not only
declared the low of the case but also
found the facts to which the law was
appled-thus exercising the functions
of both court and jury.
zone of the charges found established
against the respondent was blackmail-
ing the Oahu Railway & Land Com
pany out of five thousand dollars. Mr..
! Dillingham;, who acted for the COM
pany in the transaction, is the father
! in-law of the Chief Justice and the
Chief Justice is also 1 stakeholder and
! the trustee for the bondrolders of the
Oahu Railway & Land Company
Could the Chief Justice approach the
consideration of this case with the
same impartial and unbiased mind that
he would had the respondent beer
charged with matchmaking some Other
person or corporation with whom hC
was not so closely connected?
Mr. Justice Perry has heretofore
punished the respondent at three sew
eral times for contempt of court-onc
sentence being for term of ten days
in Jail. Could Judge Perry at the hear
ing of these charges give to the de
PENDANT the full force and effect of tn
presumption of innocence that the Law
requires until his guilt was established
by competent evidence? Certainl,
jurors similarly situated when draw
in a trial would be subject to a chal
lenge for cause The denying of sucl
d challenge under such circumstance
would be safe grounds for a new trial.

Heavy Rainfall.

Monday evening the heaviest
rainfall recorded in this section
for many years fell, the rain fell
in such torrents that the bitches
and other drains were insufficient
to take the large volume of water
that poured down and for q few
hours every thing was under wa
ter several of the streets of the
town were under water. The
Teche rose about four or Eve feet
in about two hours.
! During this heavy rain the at
mosphere was heavily loaded with
electricity, and the roaring of
thunder, the frequent flashing of
lightning was something fearful.
Lighting struck the new store
of Mr.. L. I. Bienvenu. on Main
street, which is yet unoccupied,
and played mischief there, the
work done by this mysterious
agency is curious, two of the posts
supporting the front gallery were
split into shreds, the four corners
of the building were touched and
the wood that came in contract
with the electric fluid was reduced
to wooden pulp, one glass of the
front was broken, and the inside
of the building was blackened.
The entire building was wrap
ped in flames and the fire alarmed
was sounded, but the flames lasted
only short time.
The damage to the building will
not be very large, bat it shows
very plainly the peculiar freaks of
a stroke of lightning.
Lightning also struck the cleo
trio wires at the Railroad and had
set fire to that building, bnt it was
quickly put out without damage.

The Election Comedy.

cal burlesque here during the past
few days. Some time ago Mayor
Fournet issued his proclamation
ordering an election to be held at
the Town Hall for town officials,
the week following the Board of
Supervisors issued proclamation,
and named commissioners order
ing a town election to be held at
the Court House. In view of this
complications the Mayor and Town
Council sought the advice OF their
attorneys, Messrs. Mouton e. ST.
mon, who gave them written
opinion that they were to hold the
election under the provisions of
the charter.
The Board of Supervisors got a
written opinion from Messrs. Mar
tin, VOORHEES, & Martin, and that
opinion was that the town election
was to be held under the supervi-
sion of the Supervisors, Mayor
Fournet visited Baton Rouge and
submitted the whole matter, town
charter, state laws, ordinance of
the council, the opinion of the at
torneys, and informed them that
it was his desire to hold tie cleo
tion under the law, and he return
ed home satisfied that be was
right.
Mr.. ]. G. Bienvenu chairman of
the Board of Supervisors aud Mr..
Taylor Daspit also visited Baton
Rouge, interviewed Governor
Heard and returned home satisfied
that they we're right, consequently
two elections were held.
The Supervisors side held a
meeting at the Court House, and
the chairman announced that that
meeting was non-partisan and Re-
publicans took part in the deli
berations, and the ticket was head
ed by Mr.. Felix Bienvenu who is
gentleman high in the esteem of
every one, but who is the leading
Republican of this parish, the
ticket selected at this non-partisan
meeting was composed as follows:
For Mayor Felix Bienvenu, For
Councilman, p. j. Fleming, Luke
BONN, Edwin Delahoussaye, ST..
G. M. Olivier and l.. j. Duchamp,
and these candidates were held as
the candidates of that faction un-
til the morning of the election, but
to the surprise Of many of their
own supporters, they found tick
ct headed Democratic Ticket" and |
under the picture of a big rooster
were the following names: For
Mayor, G. M. Olivier, For Coun-
cilmen Luke BONN, Edwin Della
houssaye, L. J. Duchamp. Frank
Robin and A. G. Goulas.
The leaders of that faction say
that was only little trick; the op-
position say that the Baton Rouge
bosses gave them scolding for
running a Republican. and every
one gave his own idea about the
reason for SO sudden a change.
The election was the talk of the
town, and we presume it is prov
ing interesting for other people
too.
Monday night the Supervisors
asked Mayor Fournet to give them
the keys of the City Hall for them
TO hold their election, but the Ma I
vor refused, telling them that the I
election held under their supervi- ]
hon would not be legal. {
Tuesday two elections were q
'eld, one at the Court House, one :
