Two native women in succession were
the remaining witnesses for the pros

/ present at the gathering where the
| trouble arose between Wainee and his
! wife which ended in the woman's bel
ing thrown out of the house and strik-l
/ ing her head upon hard coral ground.
| From the evidence of one of the wit
| nesses it appeared that Wainee was
talking Familiarity with married wo-l
man from Kauai whose husband was
not present. There was comment pass
ed by different women and a remark
made by Wainee's wife was resented
/ by his striking her on the side of the
head. He later took her into her
room, or accompanied her thither,
where he renewed his abuse of the
woman.
