CONFESSION
ADMIT TED
Heavy Handicap in the
Jones Case for the
Prosecution.

In the Jones case the confession OF
| the defendant, made TO the then Deputy
Sheriff Charles F. ChilIingworth. i'm
mediately after his arrest for the
murder of his wife, was admitted IN
part and with the exception OF the por-
ton relating to the killing OF Mrs FAR
menter by Judge Robinson yesterday
This martial admission was heavy
handicap upon the prosecution. ana
If was made the heavier because when
il came to the examination of Chilling
worth. the attorneys for the defense
asked him questions drawn from the
confession, the admission as II was
made being TO the advantage of the de-
Tense.
This alleged confession was made I'M
mediately after the arrest or jones'
and recited in detail the story OF the
crime of which he stands accused.
While it was being made to Chllllng-
worth, a reporter of the name OF Kin
ney and Police Captain Parker We're
going in and out Of the room where
Jones then was, and so heard portions
of it.
Kinney was put upon the stand to
testify that Jones was in a very be-
draggled condition when he reached the
police station, and while the man SEEM
ed to be confused somewhat in telling
his story, the witness thought that he
gradually grew more coherent. And then
Chillingworth was sworn, and the long
struggle of the day began as to what
should and what should not be admit
ted of his evidence. Chillingworth had
testified twice before in the case, and
he answered each question put to him
with a slow elaboration that showed
| he was giving the deepest thought to
every word that he said.
| He held the boards for the greater
part of the afternoon. and when the
Judge at half past four called the at
| tention of the lawyers to the face OF
| the clock, he was still undergoing
examination at the hands of Attorney
Robertson. The point reached was as
to the Identification of the pistol taken
from Jones when he was arrested as
| the weapon with which the alleged
crime had been committed. Just as the
court was about TO adjourn, Deputy
Attorney General Peters submitted
| that it had been shown by the question
of Robertson and the answers of the
| witness that it was the pistol, and
called for the records.
I'VE refuse to admit anything of the
kind said Mr.. Robertson. 1T has
not been shown that it was the same
pistol. The status of the matter has
not changed
THE point can be taken up just as
we'll tomorrow morning." said Judge
Robinson, softly. The case will be
adjourned until Wednesday at $50 a.

do not get quite the amount of

Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or

first place. Hannah More said
that sin was generally to be at

a crippled liver with the result

more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every

JAP WITNESS
IS ARRESTED
Is Found to be a Man
Already Under
indictment.

Il would like to instruct the Marshal
To have a warrant prepared for the
arrest of this witness upon charge
of perjury
Thus United States District Attorney
Breckons in the hearing before District
eraI Court of the charge of train rob-
berry against Saito, Umida and Hira-
nagi. The three men are charged with
having taken a woman, by force, from
a train on the Oahu railway, and the
witness who was said to have perjured
himself was a Japanese hackman of
the name of Yanogi. He told a story
on the stand that was rather f1ippant,
considering the gravity of the charge
against the men. He had driven Hira-
nagi, one of the defendants, to the
depot in his hack, and had seen nothing
at all of what had taken place, al
though he had occupied a good position
to see In fact, although he swore that
he had sat in the back of his hack
and noticed nothing out of the ordi-
nary, it was pretty clear from other
evidence that he had been where he
could see a good deal that would have
escaped the notice of nobody but
blind man.
And it was a this stage of the pro-
ceeding that the United States District
Attorney ordered that he be taken into
custody on a charge of perjury. And
then something familiar about the
mans face began to awaken memories
of other times in the mind of Mr.
Breckons. Where had he seen the man
before?
Mr.. Marshal" he said, at last, turn
ing to United States Marshal Hendry,
get me the blanket warrant for the
indicated * men of the 'Ten-dollars
clubs"
And there, sure enough, was the
name of Yanogi as one of the men
wanted in that celebrated case, al
though he had up to this time man
aged to elude the officers. A few words
to Marshal Hendry sufficed, and the
witness was soon on his way to Oahu
Jail, deeply repentant. no doubt, of the
willingness with which he had rushed
inc danger to serve his friends the
kidnapers.
The case against Umida was dis
missed on motion of United States Dis
trict Attorney Breckons. The other two
Japs We're held to answer by Commits
siorer Judd, not under the railway rob-
berry section but for the crime of kid
naping.

MUST PAY
THIS TAX
Circuit Court Makes
New Rule in Pro-
bate Cases.

Because a number of estates in pro-
bate have been, by inadvertence, closed
up by the Circuit Court Judges without
the payment of the inheritance tax
called for under the law of the Terri
tory, Judges De Bolt and Robinson
yesterday entered a new court rule in
tended to provide against any such
action in the future. 1t is as follows:
TT is ordered that Rule "a of the
Rules of the Circuit Court of the First
Judicial Circuit, adopted April 10, 1902,
in effect from and after May 9Th, 1902,
be and the same is hereby amended
by adding thereto at the end thereof
the following matter, to wit:
That no petition for the discharge
of any executor or administrator OF
any estate, over which this Court has
jurisdiction, shall be presented to or
filed in this Court, unless the same
shall contain a statement duly Veri-
fed by the petitioner, showing the
names and residences of any and all
persons having such an interest in said
estate, as requires the payment of the
tax on legacies, requests and inherit
ances, pursuant to Chapter 63 of the
Civil Laws of 1897, and the value of the
interest of such person or persons, and
in the event of there being no persons
having an interest in said estate, re-
curing them to pay the tax aforesaid,
a duly verified statement by the petit
toner to that effect"
1T is further ordered that the amend
CHI
effect and be in force from and after
the date hereof.
Dated Honolulu, Feb. s, 1906"
1t seems that, recently, no fewer
than ten cases have been closed up
without the payment of the inheritance
tax, and in some of these cases the
taxes have amounted to somewhat sub
stantial sums. The law provides that
cases so closed may be re-opened for
the payment of the tax, but that is
troublesome and vexatious process, be-
sides having a tendency to upset mat
tiers that have been supposed to be
finally adjusted. Besides. when that is
done. the attorney in the case has to
see that the tax is paid, and in some
cases have been compelled TO pay it out
of their own pockets
In one case recently opened. the tax
that had to be paid amounted to $500.
That is substantial sum. and becomes
larger if it is considered that the at
torney is responsible for it. So the law
yers Will be grateful for the new rule
Of court, and the Territory win be the
gamer in the expedition of the pay
ment of its dues.
