RECOUNT
HAS BEGUN

# CONTINUED from Page One.)
Asked how the janltor got out of tina
. door, Kalauokalani said perhaps
y had key.
i He might have spoken about Buf
: fandeau's absence much of the time
to Mr.. Kinney and Mr.. Mossman, blu
. If so he referred to the time before tn
election.
Did you not state to Mr.. Iauke;
, several days before the election tina
| you were the only person who had thu
combination of the safe in which thos,
ballots were kept?" Mr. Kinney asked
MY recollection of what / said tc
Mr. Iaukea was that the ballots had
; been saved and were in the safe" the
witness replied.
After repeating this answer several
times to insistent questions about what
he had actually said to Mr.. Iaukea, the
witness at last said he might have told
Mr.. Iaukea that nobody but himself
had the combination to the safe.
In answer to Justice Wilder Mr.. Ka-
lauokalani said that, so far as he knew,
no one else got at the ballots while
they were in his possession.
Mr.. Gear offered the ballots in evi>
dence but on Mr.. Kinney's objection
7 that Kalauokalani's evidence was not
! prima facie that the bags in court held
the official ballots cast at the election,
| the court ordered a subpoena to Issue
for Buffandeau. This was done, but
| the desired witness somehow or other
did not appear, although inspectors
suDpoenaed afterward were punctually

sumed after recess.
GEAR WANTS RECESS.
i After some further evidence to iden-
| tify the bags by Kalauokalani, with
more argument than evidence, at 2:4O
p. m. Mr.. Gear asked for a recess until
| 10 o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Kinney, on the regular tack, said
! the law required that the inspectors
seal the bags with their own seals.
| Are you going to show that this
bag" Indicating the receptacle rf1rom
| the first precinct of the, fourth 1 dis
4 tricD sis not in the condition in which
I 1t was received?" the Chief Justice
/ inquired.
| Mr.. Kinney answered that 1t was in
!cumbent on the petitioner to show that
/ those bags We're in the condition In
which they We're received. I'VE have
subpoenaed the inspectors, but don't
know what they will testify"
Justice Hartwell wanted to ask Mr..
Clark questions and Mr.. Kinney was
willing that the witness should be eX-
amined if respondent then had the right
of way.
I CLARK'S EVIDENCE.
Albion f. Clark, chairman of the
board of INSPECTORS Of the first precinct
of the fourth district, was called and
sworn.
To Justice Hartwel-"The wax on
the bag is all broken. When we took it
there it was intact. 1t may be that
1t has been broken IN contact with other
bags"
To Mr. Kinney witness said none of
the inspectors impressed their own seals
on the bag. The counted ballots and
the rejected ballots were put in. They
were strung on separate strings and
tied separately and put in two en-
vClopes. Unused ballots were put in
another envelope. The envelopes were
sealed. Witness had no private seal.
