David Watson, libellee in divorce. has
fled a motion to decrease the alimony,
also the attorneys fees, so that the
alimony be $40 month and the fees
$50 in all. Deposing. he says that he
As about 55 years of age, sickly and
unable to perform hard work; that he
has no lands, nor personal property of
any value, nor money. and that gener-
ally he is poor.
This motion had been made orally In
court, but Judge Robinson required Its
presentation in writing. Yesterday
morning the continued hearing of Wat
sons citation for contempt of court in
not paying the alimony decreed came
up.
Henry Cobb Adams, deputy assessor
of Koolaupoko, and Frank Pahia, dep
uty sheriff of the same district, both
members OF the road board, appeared
as witiess ?. They dtsproved the de-
tense offered by Watson the other day,
that they had retained his wages for
roat work. The money had not yet
been drawn from the treasury. 1t
amounted to 800 and was ordered by
the court to be attached, as also was
the sum of SIT which, it came out. Wat
son had paid to his attorney.
Mr.. Achi had told him this money
upon by the court for an explanation
of this transaction, in view of his
former statement that his client had
no means of paying alimony, the at
torney said he intended to have sued
for writ of habeas corpus if Watson
were committed for contempt. To the
courts inquiry If he did not know ha-
beas corpus proceedings were free, Mr..
Achi confessed his ignorance of the
rule as he had never had a habeas cor
pus case.
Judge Robinson, having ordered the
moneys in question paid into court,
said the respondent would be dis
charged upon such payment being
made.
e. C. Peters, who appeared for Mrs.
Watson. dealt severely in the proceed
! ings with the conduct of the attorney
for the libellee.

] ed in court with his counsel, ]. w.
Cathcart, and purged himself of the
contempt by undertaking to answer the
, questions. He appeared before the

: any of the indictments returned later
and placed on the secret file has refer
= -ence to the suspected case of leakage

q to be seen.
