So Says Alleged AbductOr, Traced to
Mount Holly, N. J..

GALVESTON, Aug. 3:-William
Liker, believed to be one of the abb
ductors of Charlie Ross, has left this
city, and has been traced to Mount
Holly, n. j. While suspicion point
cd strongly to his identity as Doug
las, he was not arrested, pending an
investigation. He evidently feared
he was being watched and left the
city. He would talk of the Ross case
only when drinking, and then only
to one he believed a friend. Before
leaving Galveston he said that he
knew positively that Charlie Ross
was not dead, and through him a
brother of Mosher, the other abduct-
or, has been found in New York.
Liker mentioned a woman in the
case as well as IN orphan asylum,
and an Investigation of the records
confirms these statements. During
his life of several years here, he was
never steadily employed, but he

The following letter addressed to d.
l.. Wilmington was intended, he states,
for the Social Science Association:
Honolulu, T. H, June 18th, 1906.
D. L. Wilmington, Esq, Honolulu, T. H.
Dear Strive, few representative
Koreans, desire to address you in be-
half of our fellow countrymen scattered
over these Islands, and to assure you
of our deep, heartfelt appreciation OF
the kind interest you and the other
members of the Social Science CLUB
took in the case of the five men con-
victed of murder and sentenced to die.
We were deeply grieved at the crime
with which these men were charged,
and felt that they had in a measure
brought all our fellow countrymen into
disgrace. We can offer no excuse for
such serious offences against the law
and order of this fair and beautiful
land. except, of course, the dense ignor-
ance of such men and the awful temp
tations to drink and gamble to which
they are exposed in many lonely places.
The severe punishment inflicted on
three of these men will, we hope and
pray. be an object lesson to all others
never to be forgotten; and since it was
through your kind intercession that two
of these men escaped the death penalty,
and were sentenced to a term imrris-
onment instead, we beg to thank you
most cordially for their sake's as well
as our own, and sincerely hope that
such a crime may never again be COM
nitted by any of the people whom we
represent.
We have the honor to be, Sir,
Your obedient servants,

was arraigned in
| ANTOINE CARVALHO the police court
yesterday morning on charge of muir
der in the first degree, and the case
was set for hearing on July 9. The
coroner's inquest to have been held last
evening at the police station failed to
materialize, the County Attorney tele-
phoning that he had something else to
do then and the jury would have to
wait. Finally the coroner adjourned
the inquest until this evening.
! According to the police Carvalho is
said to have admitted that after having
fight with Folktward in the tenement
! house on the slopes of Punchbowi near
the Pauoa bridge, he went home and
i secured a revolver and returned TO the
tenement intending to shoot Folktward.
He entered the house and going to
| Mrs. Opeka's room he fired two shots
at FoIktward as he lay bed. He
Immediately left the place, and what he
did with the revolver, is a question. 1t
! has not yet been found, although search
was made for it on Sunday.
| Folktward clearly identified Carvalho
as his assailant, while he was in the
| Queens Hospital. He said that the
man wore Panama hat. Carvalho
| had one in his hand when he entered
the room of the victim. He was told
to put the hat on his head. This done,
Folktward had no hesitancy is saying
he was the man who had shot him and
with whom he had had a previous
quarrel.
The victim, who was about 50 years
of age and had a wife and several chill
dren living in Norway, was buried yes
terday afternoon at Pearl City.
DR.. Judd, who made a postmortem
examination on the body of Folktward
on Sunday found that the abdominal
wound had made frightful havoc in the
cavity, especially in the liver, and the
intestines had been perforated four
times.
Carvalho was catcher for the H. A.
C.'s during the 1904 league season.
