RESPECT FOR THE DEAD.
| Governor Carter said yesterday after
| noon that, as one of the pallbearers
| in Mrs. Stanford's funeral process ion
| it gave him a feeling of the utmost
qualification to see the respect paid to
| the dead by people lining the streets
More particularly was he pleased to
| observe that it was usually Hawaiians
who showed the example to others of
taking off their hats while the cortege
passed.
1t was not because it was the remains
of Mrs. Stanford, the Governor felt,
but the Hawaiians showed an instinc-
| tive respect for departed humanity. He
saw men clad in rough overalls OBJ
serve the good old custom-too much
nowadays honored rather In the breach
than in the observance-of uncovering
at the passing of a funeral along street
or highway.
Detectives Cullundan and Reynolds
on leaving Honolulu for San Francisco
were divided in their opinion as to the
cause of the death of Mrs. Stanford.
This much was known the night be-
fore the detectives departed for the
mainland with DR.. Jordan and Timothy
Hopkins, but was kept a secret until
yesterday morning.
Detective Reynolds, representing the
San Francisco police department. is
said to have concluded that Mrs. STAN
ford was poisoned. Detective Cullun-
dan, representing the Morse Detective
Agency of San Francisco. did not
agree with this. but was said to share
the opinion of both DR.. Jordan and
Timothy Hopkins, that death was due
to natural causes. Mr.. Cullundan rep
resents the Stanford interests in the
mysterious case
DR.. Jordan also stated on Tuesday
night to a gentleman who represents
interests which have close connection
with Spreckels and Hopkins:
Would it not be the best thing in
the world e the whole world could only
come to tie belief that this good wom-
an died from natural causes 2"
The statement was simple in itself.
but carries with it the conviction which
lished.
Just before leaving yesterday DR..
Jordan handed to Carl Smith who has
ford interests here, a cablegram, read
ing as follows:
''Bernerg took same doses capsules
and soda same time. No discomfort.
JORDAN"
Just before the steamer was ready to
sail Dr. Jordan hastily scrubbed a note
to Carl Smith which read: {
kindly suppress cablegram. Not
quite true"
The opinion was then expressed that
Dr. Jordan did not believe he had
heard Miss Berner Alright, for if this
statement were true it was something
entirely new which should have been
brought out at the inquest.
JURISDICTION BOTH PLACES.
The San Francisco Examiner says: |
IN the event of an arrest and prose-
eution of any of the suspects in the
case there is some speculation
Is to the jurisdiction in the case. On
his head District Attorney Byington
ays:
IF the poison was prepared in San
Francisco with the intent that it be
aiken by Mrs. Stanford in Honolulu
he jurisdiction would be both there
nd in this city. If the poison was sent
rom this city with the intent that it
e taken there the jurisdiction would
Ie in either place.
Where a crime is committed partly
n one State and partly in another,
nder the decision in the Botkin case,
over the crime may be in
ither State. In the present case if
rhine has been committed the party
ill doubtless be tried where arrested.
1T was the intention to take Mrs. {
'otk!n to Delaware for trial. but it ,
-as found that she had never been in
hat State. hence she could rot be ex- i,
-adfted from this State as a fugitive
-om justice and the plan was aban- Z
cned.
ut follows, therefore. if a party is
rrested her for causing OF berg ac- !
assory TO the death of Mrs. Stanford I
Honolulu and that party he's -ev-r 2
cen in Hawaii. that party cannot be
Stradfted TO that Territory for trial" v
