MAN KILLS
HIS WIFE
A Dreadful Tragedy at
Kalihi Camp
Sunday.

Lying unattended for about twelve
hours in small cottage at the Kalih
Camp after having been beaten in g
terrible manner by her husband, Mrs
Kali Wainee died about l 'eloek yes
terday afternoon. When arrested by
the police yesterday the husband gave
a mock semblanee of affection for the
dead woman by weeping and insisting
on kissing her swollen and torn lips.
Pending a complete investigation OF the
case the alleged murderer is held at the
police station.
About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
information reached the police station
that woman lay dead in the cottage
at the Kalihi Camp occupied by George
Wainee and his wife. Assistant Sheriff
Henry Vida and other officers proceeded
to the camp and found a woman, APP
parently about thirty years of age, ly-
ing in one of the rooms surrounded by
half a dozen weeping and wailing Ha-
waiian women.
The face of the dead woman was
ghastly, for it bore marks of violence.
One eye was badly swollen, the lips
bruised and swollen, the face skinned,
and sren tlss s'south4 blood had triekled.
Eyewitnesses told OF struggle be-
tween the two at midnight on Satur-
day, q repetition of similar fights which
neIghbors say have occurred with al
most weekly regularity. One witness
stated 70 the police that George Wainee
was seen beating his wife late Saturday
night. The pair struggled ON the We
randa of their little cottage for a while.
during which time the eyewitness ran
forward to separate the couple, but be-
fore she reached them George dragged
the woman to the edge of the yeTanda
and threw her off, letting her fall to
the ground about three feet below The
cottage IS built upon a coral stratum,
white and sharp-pointed. The eyewit-
ness says that Kali struck upon her
head. She arose and returned to the |
house, and all was quiet for a while. |
Then the quarrel was renewed, and |
again the conflict ceased. After that |
the neighbors made no further inter |
ference.
About noon yesterday George Wainee
ieAt <HS CO8td9e anu went III search Oh
a doctor. He tried to find DIR. Lii, the |
Chinese physician, but evidently failed,
and as far as is known the dying woman
received no medical attention what
ever. The police are OF the opinion that
the woman lay dead in the house from
about ] o'clock to 3 clock yesterday
afternoon.
Wainee has maintained stoical
silence concerning his part in the af-
fair. The police already have the state
ments of the eyewitnesses as to just
what they saw. Assistant Sheriff Vida
