work in the Supreme Court. I hope
you will be able to forward at least
| 500 at once as the matter is very ur-
gent and we do not desire unneces-
sary delay. Do not send any money
to .tS1ow john but send it either to
I your son Edward, or to me. He thinks
it would be best to send it to me be-
cause it viii save any delay in the
tSheriff's office. inclose my card which

written a note to you ON the back of
my card in his own language so that
you will be sure that / was one of the
J attorneys to defend MIN in the SUI
perior Court.
In the san Francisco CALI of Sept
TENDER II, I noticed an article dated
Honolulu concerning your son, Ed
ward. 1t said that you had asked the
Governor of the islands to use his in
f1uence with Governor Pardee of the
State of California to secure the re-
lease of your son. / am very sorry
that you have done anything at this
time, and if the papers are still in the
hands. of the Governor I would advise
you to have him hold them until the
time that / may ask you to assist in
the matter of petitioning the Govern
or In order to do anything with
it will be necessary for US to appeal
to the Supreme Court The Governor
will never interfere as long as the de-
PENDANT has any legal remedy open
to him. If we succeed in our appeal
to the Supreme Court. we will secure
a new trial and at that time I think
we will be able to have a better case
for your son. We would of course
have the assistance of money, which
would aid US greatly in the case. II
the Supreme Court decides against US,
so that we have no legal remedy, then
we can appeal to the Governor. AT
that time 1 would like very much to
have the assistance Of the Governor
of the islands. because his influence
might be worth a great deal. L hope
to keep the case in the courts until
after. the 1st of January, 1907. At that
time we will have a new Governor In
the State of California and I think we
will stand a better chance before him
than before Governor Pardee. Gov
'ernor Pardee is very hard and will not
assist a man except under extraordi-
nary circumstances.
Your son tells me that he has a piece
of land in the islands that you have
given him, and he thinks that the |
money can be raised on that. If that /
is possible l would advise you to do /
it at once. He is now in position
where he needs money If he ever did, |
or will. If the money is not forthcom- |
ing, it will go pretty hard with MIN, |
as we cannot do the best for the case. |
If he does not get the money now, he |
will never need it hereafter. Under the |
I would advise you TO |
raise any money that you can on any
property that belongs to him. and send /
it at once. If you cannot raise money |
on this property, get it somewhere |
and send it
There has been no date set for the |
execution Of your son, and it will not |
be set until We get through with the
appeal in the Supreme Court. If SLOW
John told you that the date was set I
for, the 25th of September, or October,
or any other time. he was telling you
something that was not true. I was
in court a. the time that he was SEN
fenced, and there was no date set at
