The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-03-02

The jewelry among the effects of the
late Mrs. Stanford in Honolulu is es-
timated to be worth about $4,000. 1t
is now in the possession of J. f. Hack
field, as representative of the STAN
ford estate. Yesterday afternoon
Judge Stanley took charge of it and it
was left in the Moana hotel safe with
an officer on watch all night. This
morning it was brought down town.
Among the jewelry is a magnificent
pair of pearl earrings, one of the
pearls white the other black.
1t is said Mrs. Stanford has gone
shopping wearing 100000 worth of dia-
monds.
High Sheriff Henry went to the Mo-
ana Hotel this afternoon. He is under
stood to have had another interview
with Miss Hunt and Miss Berner, and
will leave nothing undone to unravel
the mystery.
Attorney General Andrews >this
morning received "a cable from Act
ing Chief of Police Spillane of San
Francisco, asking him to take all pos
sible precautions to protect evidences
of crime in the Stanford case. The
cable asked that evidences of poisoning
be carefully preserved before the body
was embalmed and that all other evil
dence be preserved. The cable was
dated at San Francisco last night. If
the action requested had not already
been taken, it would have been too
late, but the autopsy had been per-
formed the contents of the stomach
had already been partially analysed
and everything possible done to pre-
serve evidence in the case.
The cable was directed to the dis
trict attorney, Honolulu" AS r. w.
Breckons is the only district attorney
in Honolulu it naturally fell into his
hands. He sent it to Andrews, who
at once notified High Sheriff Henry,
who has charge of the Stanford matter
! Henry had received a similar message
yesterday, and replied to it.
The body of the late Mrs. Stanford
has been embalmed, and now rests in
cloth covered steel casket in the un-
dertaking parlors of H. II. Williams,
awaiting further instructions from the
coast, though in all probability it will
be sent to the coast by the steamship
China due here March TO-
]. F. Hackfeld has been requested by
cable from Mrs. Stanford's represen-
tatives to take charge of affairs here
for them, and the arrangements re-
garding the body and any services that
may be held, will be under his control
with Judge Stanley as the legal repre-
| sentative.
Cabled instructions were received by
Mr.. Hackfeld to have the body tho
roughly embalmed and placed in a me-
tallic casket. This has been done
Il The casket is of steel, but covered witt
black cloth so that it is indistinguish'
able from wooden casket similarly
covered.
There has been no decision reached
yet as to whether there will be SER
vices over the remains here before they
are sent to California or not. There il
a good deal of talk among alumni anC
former students of Stanford about tn,
propriety of their following the remains
