strongly Directing to this. The jurors
and court officers and attorneys have
made ahidavits, it is said, which will
be sent to Washington.
Il was locked UP most of tn night"
said one of the jurors who, like most
persons concerned, with the exception
Of Judge Robinson was not anxious to
be quoted in such "a matter but l can
say that when the court convened
shortly after five I'm the morning and
we came i'm with our verdict, I could
see no signs of intuXiCatiun on the
part of anyone present I understand
said this juror. that there is no charge
that the judge was under the influence
of liquor, but that the charge is that
he allowed others to drink to excess i'm
his chambers. All I can say is that
the attorneys conducted themselves
properly i'm court and / talked with
some of them after court adjourned. I
thought I could detect the signs OF
drunkenness i'm a man, but / can only
say l didn't see it i'm this case"
John Guild was the foreman of the
jury, and he has made an affidavit that
he saw nothing wrong. "All l can
say" he said this morning when seen
on the proposition, lis that ! saw moth

was any drunkenness" Guild has had
several interviews with Carter, having
been sent for and he didn't want to APP

The governor has also interviewed
Attorney Derby on the proposition. Just
where his misinformation came from is
a source of considerable mystery, but
a hackman named Thompson, said to
be on the gubernatorial spy staff is
credited with having told the executive
the pipe dreams which caused him
to make grave personal charges against
a circuit judge of the Territory.

i'm discussing the proposition this morn
ing chat the jurors had had that bot
tie of Scotch. 1t was no joke to have
night sessions for several nights as we
did and keep up the strain as we had
to. I think that If the jury had been
allowed a chance at that bottle Of
Scotch there would soon have been
none left"
Governor Carter is said to have in
terviewed a number of local attorneys
with view to Offering them the posi-
ton which Judge Robinson holds
much to the governors distaste. 1t is
said that all of them refused to ac-
cept an appointment, i'm view Of the
Bar Associations unanimous endorse
ment of Judge Robinson. 1t is now
reported that the position was practi-
cally offered by the governor to A. w
Mathewman, at present circuit judge
at I<ailua who was in town yesterday
and had an interview with the COVER
nor. 1t is believed that Mathewmar
would welcome a transfer from his
pres Mt circuit to Honolulu and that
his relations with the executive would
be much more harmonious than those
of Judge Robinson
