HIS TRIAL

Alfred Douse was put on trial for
manslaughter before Judge De Bolt Yes
terday. The following jury was accept
ed and sworn soon after the opening
of the afternoon session: j. Mansfield,
James Young. c. w. Crandell. Frank
]. Dutra, James Il. Dougherty. John II.
Tucker, Edward Drew, John X. Isaac,
G. NJ. Lovsted, David Fuller, A. A.
Dunn, Chas. Butzke.
The case was transferred from Maui
under a change of venue. A. $. Hum
phreys is conducting the prosecution,
assisted by j. NJ. Vivas, and w. A.
Kinney and j. l.. Coke appear for the
defense. MIR. Humphreys opened by
reading the indictment and giving an
outline of what the prosecution would
endeavor to prove.
Douse is charged with having, at Pu-
unene mill on August 5, 1905, thrown
gasoline upon the clothing of Japa-
Inese lahorer named n. Yamagada and
match, causing the death of the man on
August s. The acts charged are said
in the Indictment to have been done
without generalization or malice afore-
thought. 1t is intended to prove that
Douse. employed as engineer, ordered
Yamagada to fetch kerosene oil and,
when he brought gasoline instead,
struck Yamagada on both sides OF the
neck, knocking him down, and then
Kicked him. Next, as the prosecution
says, he threw the gasoline upon the
mans clothes and set it on fire. with
the result as the indictment states.
Kato, Il japanese laborer, was the
first witness and told about the occur
renee in the mill.
DR.. w. +. McConkey testified of va
magada's death and its cause. ON
discrimination he said he did not
find the deeper layer of skin injured
beyond exposing 1t. He did not think
there was any burn on the mans body
more severe than what would produce
an ordinary blister.
THE burns were not sufficient In
themselves, as | said in the lower
court" the doctor testified, ito cause
death in "A person of ordinary health"
Witness further said, regarding the
autopsy, that he found diseased condi-
ticns in the heart. kidney and bladder,
which he described in detail.

FRANK TURK
IS KNITTED
From Mondays Advertiser

(From Mondays Advertlser)
with three knife wounds In his
breast aud right arm, Frank fdrk, u
guard az Oahu Prison and formerly 4
well.known shipping.mastcr 90 the
waterfront, was taken 90 the Queen 5
Hospital shortly after O'Clock yester-
day afternoon. Al over town the talk
is that the wounds were made 10y
Charles Murasky, carpenter II is
denied by some of Murasky's friends,
however, that he was the assailant.
Turks wounds came near proving
fatal the most severe being in the
feshy part of the upper right arm,
about three inches from the armpit.
The blade just missed the large artery,
the severing of which, had it occurred,
would undoubtedly have caused Turk s
death by draining his system of blood
The other wounds were slight cuts, one
under the right nipple and the other
under the left.
The assault took place in front of the
Columbia Saloon on Hotel street, and
was witnessed by several persons.
Blood stains on the stone pavement
were magnet for the curious ones, and
the fight was recounted to each crowd
with variations.
Strange to say no complaint was
made to the police by Turk or any Of
his friends. Eye-witnesses suddenly
discovered that just at the psychology
cal moment, when the assailant s knife
blade was digging holes in Turk s
anatomy, they were looking elsewhere.
Turk, after being taken to the hospital
and having his wounds dressed, left for
his apartments on Alakea street, but
did not remain there. Murasky's apart
ments were likewise empty. All the
participants and bystanders seemed to
have made a common resolve to get out
of the glare of the calcium light.
One version of the cause of the as
sault was that some remark of Turk s.
alleged to have been directed at Mu-
rasky, was conveyed to the latter by a
friend Murasky is then said to have
sought Turk for an explanation. At
any rate the pair came together in
front of the Columbia Saloon, and in a
minute the blade of pen-knife in Mu-
rasky's hand was thrust into Turk IS
breast. Twice the blade cut through
Turk IS clothing and cut into his chest
In warding off the next blow, Turk re-
ceived the blade in his arm.

MURASKy
ARRESTED

Charles Murasky was placed under
arrest yesterday afternoon and charg-
ed with assault with a deadly weapon.
He was released on putting up $1,000
bail. The assault is alleged to have
been made upon Frank Turk last Sun
day, in which the latter received three
knife wounds. The severest wound was
in the right arm near the armpit, the
knife just missing the large artery.
The wounds were dressed at the
Queens Hospital, and Turk was then
taken to his room downtown, going
elsewhere, however, for the remainder
of the day.
Sheriff Brown sent an officer to see
Turk yesterday with the request that
he swear to a complaint against Mu-
rasky, but Turk sent back word that
he was not in condition then to at
tend to such a matter.
There was a good deal of discussion
yesterday over the Turk affair in view
of the fact that the participants SEEM
ed especially DESTROYS of keeping the
matter out of court. Turk made no
move on Sunday or yesterday to have
a warrant sworn out for Murasky. one
explanation was offered that they
would fight their battles out to suit
themselves"

LITTLE IDLE MACHINERY

New York. March 9-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of TRADE will say to-n1or-
row:
Some irrcgularty is noted in trade re-
ports for the past week, but not more
than IS scasonable and mercantile collec
tons are generally prompt. A little con
scrNatism regarding forward business in
some industries may he attributed to high
prices, although the greatest strength APP
pears in building materials and prepara-
tons for structural work are beyond pre-
cedcnt. The few minor strikes do not
interfere with progress and thus far the
only noticeable effect Of the coal contro-
vcrsy is e unusually large demand for
this season of the year in all fuel markets
and the disposition of small merchants
in the immediate vicinity of the anthracite
coal mines to allow stocks to become UNI
settled. Should an amcahle result attend
the meeting on March 10 these dealers Will
provide wholesalers and manc4A cturers
with much urgent business
There is little idle machinery in any
of the leading manufacturing industries
and contracts for distant delivery come
forward freely except at the textile mills,
where purchases arc chiefly for immediate
requirements. Prices OF commodities rose
slightly during February. Railway earn
ings continue to make striking COMPARE
sons with last years figures. the increase
during February amounting to 43 per
cent Foreign commerce at this port for
