DOGS IN
THE DAIRY
Conspiracy Charged In
the Parker
Case.

| A daily sensation can be depended on
| in the development of the long-draWn
out Parker Ranch controversy going on
| in Judge Lindsay's court, and yester-
day proved no exception to the rule.
| The case opened yesterday morning
with Eben Low on the stand as usual,
but he was displaced temporarily by
+: Edgar Henriaues, the agent who man
aged the affairs of Miss Peabody, and
who disposed of some of her Hawaii
| holdings to the Parker Ranch.
The famous wireless telegraph mes
sage alleged to have been sent from
Hawaii by Eben Low to Fred Wunden-
Mr.. .Henriques. He remembered the
message distinctly. Magoon and Wun-
denberg, both failed to recall it. Dur
ing the afternoon when Magoon charg-
ed Henriques with lapses of memory,
Henriques quietly replied that Magoon
seemed to have a similar experience.
Henriques testified that Miss Pea
body had been the owner of eight
tenths of the Waikoloa land, which
was leased to the Parker ranch for
$4,000 per annum. The lease is to expire
in 1908. A $4,000 mortgage cucumber
ed the property, due in 1903 and in
order to pay off the mortgage the lands
were sold to Col. Parker and the minor
Annie T. K. Parker, for SIP, 500. Car
ter had offered $4,000 in 1901 for the
property.
Later on, when Sam Parker had dis
agreed over the price, Fred Wunden-
berg had offered $4,000 for a portion
of the land, but the deal fell through
because Wundenberg wanted too much
land. On June 70, 1903, Low offered
Henriques 100000, which was refused.
Low offered $4,000 more the next day
and was met by another refusal. Low
then went to Hilo, having told Hen
riques to see Wundenberg if he wanted
to close the deal A copy of the mes
sage as it was taken off the phone at
Waimea was offered in evidence by
Kinney, but Magoon objected, on the
grounds that the question was as to
the message as it was sent, not as 1T
was received HenriQues stated that
he called at Wundenberg's office here,
where Miss Low had showed him the
telegram which Low had sent to Wun-
denburg, telling the latter to see that
he CHenriques) did not close the deal
before he (Low) came back from Hilo.
Much of the day was spent in quib-
bling over the time that Henriques saw
Carter after the latter's return from
Hawaii, whether it was on a Thursday,
Friday or Saturday. 1t was at this
time the deal for the Peabody lands
was made with Carter for SIP 500, of
. which, $4,000 was paid on account
Mr.. Henriques later on said that he
thought Parker was conspiring to de-
prive the minor of interest in the land
Low was not in the conspiracy in the
beginning. but became involved later
you charge Parker with conspiracy
against the minor?" inquired Magoon.
II charge him with conspiracy to get
| the land" answered Henriques. IT
don't charge him with conspiring
against anybody"
DO you think conspiracy a nice
thing?'
mo, I don't" was Henriques' an
swer.
What do you understand by the
word conspiracy, anyhow asked Ma
COON.
Il am not school teacher replied
Henriques.
In the afternoon when Eben Low was
again on the stand the pictures of the
Parker Ranch buildings We're brought
forth again and Kinney called atten-
ton to the dairy buildings Low said
that the original luna's building was
now used as a servants quarters. and
the original servants house was used
as dog-kennel and place for odds
and ends He was positively of the
opinion, that although the building was
In the neighborhood of thirty years Of
age. it was capable of being repaired.
Do you know that it may have been
Carriers belief that that building was
beyond repair?" asked Kinney.
IF that was his idea it was poorly
founded was Lows answer.
Low went on to say that either in
>'i W . SiohiAhiSlidtlOn OF COnanI as
receiver, the gatherings were so clog
ged that no rain water could be caught.
If they were now clean it was because
they had been made so since the
charges We're filed.
TIMES ARE HARD.
