LIGHTFOOT NOT IN PARKER
CASE FOR VINDtCATION

The examination of Lightfoot came
to an end yesterday, and Ikua Purdy,
one of the lunas on the Parker ranch,
was put on the stand to explain opera
lions on the ranch.
In regard to the responsibility for
the continued prosecution of the suit,
which each witness in turn has coyly
disclaimed, Lightfoot sprang a sensa-
ton by passing the buck up to the
court, which he described as rather
insistent" that the case should go on.
The matter came up in reply to Kin
ney's direct question as to who was
responsible for the counsel fees since
Sam Parker quit.
mo one" replied the witness, 1--WE
look to the court"
Then Fred Wundenberg was abso-
!utely incorrect when he said that he
and the others charged with conspiracy
were to be responsible for the attor-
neys' fees?"
There is nothing inconsistent be-
tween Wundenberg's testimony and
mine. The facts are that we applied
to the court for counsel fees and the
costs which had been incurred. MIR.
Magoon had advanced money to get
witnesses from Hawaii. The court
continued our motion to be heard with
the rest of the case, but was rather
insistent that he case go on, and that
Magoon should stay in it, So Mr.. Ma
COON agreed that he would in the flu
ture -"
WAS this in court?" interrupted
Kinney.
AT our Office" replied the witness.
"Mr. Magoon agreed that he would look
to the court for counsel fees, but Wun-
denberg was to help furnish the money
necessary for costs and witness fees"
"And in all these discussions moth
ing was said about going on with the
case to vindicate those charged with
conspiracy"
II do not wish to make my state
ment as broad as that" replied Light
foot. at is probable that someone may
have said that his personal inclination
would be to go on with the suit for
the purpose of vindication, but as far
as / was concerned II was not contin-
ued for vindication, or I should have
severed my connection with 1t imme-
diately"
The witness stated his belief that
J. S. Low having started the suit could
not discontinue 1t.
Then what did you mean." said

VIDA ADMITS
THE ASSAULT

Henry Vida tells the story of his as
sault on Edward Townsend, the sickly,
understood young fellow whom Vida
had seen talking to Supervisor Adams,
as follows. The story appears In the
Star: al a
Edward Townsend, who formerly
acted as an interpreter and special Of
ficer for the police, claims that on Sat
urday Assistant Sheriff Henry Vida
asked him to go to the police station
and while there Vida assaulted him by
hitting him with his fist and follow
ing up the attack with a number of
blows. t4xA
THE statement made by Townsend
regarding my having attacked him
with my fists is untrue" said Vida
this morning. II had heard that
Townsend was making the statement
around to a number of people, including
s. Ano, a japanese newspaper man,
that he, Townsend, proposed to fix up
a job on myself and Sheriff Brown and
would get even because he had been
discharged from the force. So far as
Townsend having talked with Super
visor Adams is concerned. it made no
difference whatever IL he did or not.
1 was simply concerned about the
statements that Townsend had been
making about putting up a job.
asked him If that had been true and he
admitted that 1t was, but pleaded that
he would not do it again. The man
had been LET out of the force on ac-
count of an alleged shady transaction
on his part and he evidently desires
to get even. / slapped him four or
five times with my hand, but so far as
striking him with my fist, that state
ment by him is absolutely wrong"
Officer Joe Dias was present dur
ing the row and he corroborated the
statements of Vida.

BUSINESS
SITE DEAL.

w. r. Chiffon has sold the building
on the northwest corner of Fort and
King streets to the Hawaiian Trust
Company, Limited for $685. 1t is q
ueat succeed brick structure of two
stories with Il tower, the street floor
being occupied by the Chambers Drug
Co. and the upstairs portion by Henry
Il. Highton's law offices. The ground
area is 1888 square feet
President j. r. Gait of the Hawaiian
Trust c. stated yesterday that 1t was
the intention OF the corporation to re-
place the building, which is only fifteen
or eighteen years old. with modern
Office structure, for it's own occupancy.
Part of this project is to acquire the
adjoining properties on both streets,
which belong to c. M. Cooke and ex-
pand the site of the proposed edifice
accordingly. Thus the building would
extend along Fort street to the Foster
building, and along King street to the
Wall. Nichols Co. alleyway AS Mr.
Cooke is interested in the Hawaiian
Trust Co., it may fairly be surmised
that an understanding with him on the
matter has already been reached. In
the meantime, as all of the properties
concerned are revenue producing, no.
body is going to lose money thereon.
Although the Hawaiian Trust Co. has
recently renewed its lease on the prem
ises 1t now occupies, Mr.. Gait says he
anticipates no difficulty in transferring
| ii when the time comes. Notwith-
standing the considerable addition of
office rooms recently built as previously
reported I'm the Advertiser, the company
finds its quarters still too straitened
for its business. In the modern office
block contemplated, 1t would have in
creased safe deposit vantage.
Among other improvements being
cerebrated by Mr.. Gait is "A depart
ment for ladies. who have an important
share in the company's business. This
would be getting up to modern equip
ments of financial concerns in the
larger cities of the world.
Mr.. Gait is enamored of the pur-
chase of his company as being right Mt
the heart of the business section OF
Honolulu, practically upon the divid-
ing line between the wholesale and re-
tell districts. Moreover he expresses
himself MS having utmost faith In the

In answer to n question, Lightfoot
said that he thought that everything
that had been done was in the inter-
ests OF the minor, including the at
tempt to turn over the possession of
the ranch to Parker. Kinney then re-
ferred to the notices warning persons
against paying to Carter moneys due
the ranch, and to the suit which Par
Ser brought against the Metropolitan
Meat Company to recover the price of
cattle which Carter had sold. Kinney
asked If this were not a scheme 10

the witness thought that while Parker
was primarily entitled to the money,
he would have to divide 1t with the
minor.

ed, was questioned as to the details Of
ranch management. He told in detail
the advantages of chutes in handling
cattle. and testified as to the insanitary
condition of the cistern at Mana and
of several ponds. His testimony was
for the most part corroborative of that
of Eben Low on the same points.
