A sORDID TRAGEDY.
The coroner's judy in the murder that
took place at Papaikou last Tuesday
have brought in a verdict, in which
they say that by reason of the very
conflicting testimony and the apparent
perjury that was committed before the
inquisition board, there is reason to
believe that the dead man in the case
may have been murdered, and they
therefore say that he came to his death
Kiuma was the japanese man who
came to the Honomu camp and after
a prolonged conversation with his wife
Yoshina set upon her and killed her.
He was found dead also with several
wounds upon his body, and his throat
cut across, and with signs that he had
attempted to commit "hariksri.''
The investigation of the coroner's
jury showed that there were a couple
of knife cuts on his wrist, also across
his stomach and upon his back, which
might indicate that some third party
may have done the deed. Yoshina, the
woman in the case, was, living with
Ogushi Tarokichi with the consent of
her husband. It seems that the hus
band was in camp on the day in ques-
ton endeavoring to get from Ogushi
$3.50. the same being the price Of his
wife. On the day Of the homicide, he
had received $40 from Ogushi, which,
according to the receipt, was to cover
his expenses in going to Honomu. AS
side issue resulting from the investi-
cation, three Japanese, named Shibao
Kingoro, Shibao Momokichi and Okubo
are now under arrest for conspiracy
to extort money from Ogushi Taro-
kichi.
DROWNED NEAR ONOMEA.
Mr. Robert Ramsay, team luna for
the Onomea Sugar Company, was
drowned Sunday afternoon while bath
ing in the outlet of the stream which
empties into the sea this side of Pa
paikou mill. He was in bathing with
two others, but got beyond his depth
on account of the strong undertow. A
Portuguese companion jumped in to
save him. and there nearly occurred a
double tragedy, for the Portuguese
was almost pulled down by the drown
ing man. After considerable strug-
Cling, he was able to free himself, but
was unable to lend assistance before
Ramsay disappeared for the, last time.
The body was found yesterday morning
near the place where it had gone down,
and the funeral of the unfortunate
young man occurred from the First
Foreign Church yesterday afternoon
CRATER VERY ACTIVE.
Increased activity is the report re-
ceived of the condition of Kilauea. 1t
is told by visitors who were up at the
crater over. Sunday that the floor is
rapidly filling. This report is getting
threadbare, but when it is considered
that there are many thousand cubic
feet Of space to be filled it is not sur
prising that it takes months before the
flowing lava reaches the surface of the
main crater. The crowd that spent
Saturday night at the brink was more
than satisfied with their experience.
