DEFENSE OF
SAN TOS BEGUN
JUDGE ROBINSON DISALLOWS A
QUESTION WHICH CREATED A
TEMPORARY SENSATION.

DO you know the difference be-
tween a spade and club?" was the
question upon which Attorney Hogan
came to temporary grief in the Santos
trial before Judge Robinson. The
question came like a bolt from a clear
sky during the cross examination of
witness. After recovering from the
shock nearly everyone in court gave
way to laughter. Fleming rose to pro-
test that the question was immaterial
and the judge agreed with him. Later
its supposed relevancy appeared when
Hogan tried to show that a card game
was the cause of the row which is
said to have caused Santos to commit
an assault.
The prosecution closed yesterday af-
ternoon and the defense began this
morning. The first witness, Joe Fer
reira, was brought into court by De-
putty Sheriff Cox, under bench war
rant, having failed to answer a sub
poena from Waialua. He told th'
court that he hadn't the price of a
railroad ticket, and was thus purged
Of contempt.

CANNOT
GET CASE
INTO COURT
DAMAGE SUIT AGAINST FORMER
DEPARTMENT HEADS IN WHICH
EXECUTIONS ARE SOUGHT.

The Supreme Court has denied a mo-
ton to place on it's calendar the case
of David X. Baker VS.. A. Il. Atkinson,
A. M. Brown, Lorrin Andrews and Ka-
nauohe, appealed from the Third Cir
cult Court, in which there was a judg-
ment for 81, 500 damages against Atkin-
son, $500 against A. M. Brown and 81
each against each of the others. The
suit was for damages for ejecting Ba-
Ner and family from property claimed
as school house, when Atkinson was
superintendent of Public instruction.
Brown was High Sheriff and Andrews
was Attorney General. The suit was
tried about a year ago.
Though an appeal was noted, the case
has never got to the Supreme Court,
owing to the failure of defendants to
have a transcript prepared. c. w. Ash
ford, attorney for plaintiff, moved to
have the case placed on the calendar,
in order that he might have the ap-
peal dismissed and secure an execu-
ton.
The court held that there was moth
ing to place on the calendar and de-
clined to take any action. Ashford now
proposes to go to the Third Circuit
Court and ask for an execution.
