one witness had said that defendant No.
3. together with defendants l, ., 3 and
4, took the deceased To the graveyard.
They also pointed out that there were
number of conflicting statements as
to just who went with the deceased to
the graveyard and tho order in which
the nine Koreans who went there, ar
rived. Moreover, they maintained that
it was an immaterial point. MS the de-
ceased went there voluntarily to show
whore he had hidden the stolen money.
As to the second point, the committee
replied that they had made no mention
of the, threat by No. . to kill the de-
ceased as he had made the same threat
several times before, evidently for the
purpose of intimidating deceased. Fur
thermore, defendant No. was not an
issue in the matter under consideration
as he had been convicted of murder in
the second degree and sentenced TO %
years imprisonment and his case is not
now under consideration.

The Hawaiian gazette., 1906-05-22

The Honolulu Social Science Club
held a special meeting last Saturday
night. at the residence of w. o. Smith,
to consider the report of the special
committee concerning the status of The
five Koreans now in Oahu Jail under
condemnation of death for murder.
The committee, consisting of w. o.
Smith, ID. l.. Wilmington, n. b. Elmer
son, w. A. Kinney and Lorrin y. Thurs
ton, presented an elaborate report set
ting forth the reasons for action by the
club; general statement of the facts
of the case out OF which the murder
arose, and the salient facts relating to
the murder itself
Also a detailed analysis of the evi.
dence concerning each one of the ac
cused, taken before the coroner; the
committing magistrate; the Sheriff of
Hawaii Chester Doyle, as shown by his
private notes; of the confessions made
by the defendants through Chester
Doyle; of confessions made bY two OF
them in their own writing, and of the
oral evidence taken at the trial.
The committee afterwards -summar
lied this evidence and stated their con
illusions and recommendations based OF
the evidence. They also presented 1
draft of resolutions which they recon
mended the club to adopt.
DeputyAttorney General Milvertor
was present by invitation, as We're {
number of other gentlemen.
After the presentation of the report
to the club, Mr.. Milverton was asked il
there was any evidence against the
defendants which had not been men
toned by the committee.
He replied that he thought of only
two points, viz: First. that the com
mittee had failed to point out that on
witness had said that defendant No.
took the man, afterwards murdered
from the Korean camp to the japanese
graveyard to hunt for the money which
he said he had hidden there.
And. second, that the committee hac
not pointed out that defendant No.
had said at the graveyard that he in
tended to kill the deceased.
The committee in. reply pointed on
that they had quoted the evidence tha

TWO KOREANS
ARE SPARED

Two of the FIVE Koreans condemned
to be hanged for murder at Hilo have
had their sentences committed by the
Governor to Imprisonment for fifteen
years. The other three of the five will
be hanged on Wednesday in Oahu
Prison. The men whose lives have
been saved are Chang Chez Yuel and
kim Yong Yee
The petition from the Social Science
Club for mercy to the condemned men
was presented to the consideration of
the Governor while he was on Tanta-
lus. The petition, given in the Adver-
tiser of Monday morning, asked that
the lives of three be spared, and that
one should receive an absolute pardon.
The club had under consideration the
cases of six koreans, as matter of
fact although but five of these We're
sentenced to the death penalty. 1t is
two of those so sentenced who have
been spared. The Social Science Club
conceded in it's findings, that Wo
Miung Sock. shin Miung ok and Kang
Yong Box were properly convicted of
murder in the first degree, but said
that n differentiation should be made
in favor of wo Miung Sock. These
three are to be hanged. The club rec
commended that Kim Yong Yee should
have his sentence committed, as the
evidence showed that he was guilty of
assault at most, and that Chang Chez
Yuel should be given an unconditional
pardon.
The Governor has ignored the recon-
mendation with reference to Wo Miung
Sock. commutes the sentence of Kim
Yong Yee to fifteen years, and spares
the life of Chang Chez Yuel and gives
him a commutation, but not n pardon
The Acting Governor had the case
in his hands the better part of the
day yesterday, but was not inclined to
dlcuss his action after 1t had been
taken. There has been talk, at various
times, of u writ of error in the Supreme
Court In behalf of the Koreans, but
it is not thought that anything of the
kind will be done now. The three men
! are to die, under the present arrange
ment, on Wednesday.

that since his arrival ne has been but
