was no coward.
Pegram Dargan was the first
witness called aud the intense
interest was shown in what he
might say. The large crowd pre-"
sent listened breathlcssly, but
little or no details Of the harrow
ing affair were obtained from him
or of the dreadful part he had
f played in it.
II was quite evident that he
, was laboring under intense ncr-
vousness, though he made a des-
perate effort to apper calm and
collected. He first thanked the
, coroner and Jury for postponing

answer to questions he declared

That was all that he would say,

EVANGELIST IS
COMING SOON

Evangelist Ostron will be in Homo
lulu on the Ventura on May 3rd. He
will bring with him a singer, besides
his own family some of whom assist
him in his work. 1t was the inten-
ton to bring three workers, two of
them singers with him but the local
committee felt that the expense would
be greater than it could bear. A ca
blegram was sent to DR.. Ostrom sew
eral days ago telling him to come and
yesterday another message was sent
in response to his letters saying that
the expenses of but one singer could
be assumed by the local committee.
DR.. Ostrom's letters were full of en-
thusiasm and he feels that there is a
great and far-reaching work to be
done here. He states that great inter-
est is being taken in the trip on the
coast and that many prayers are be-
ing uttered for its success. He also
made several suggestions of value as
to the organization of the revival COM
mites and especially asked that the
press be interested. as its cooperation
would be a powerful factor in the sue
cess of the service.
