The grand jury continued to probe
for che-fa evidence yesterday, al
though it gave Amin a day off. The
witnesses examined were young Ha-
Waiians and Chinese, che-fa players

to the jurors how it was that the game
was run. Also, it is more than like~
iy that they told where it was run.

Is one vital point, and when it is de-

But the grand jury probe is reaching
even beyond the che-fa game That
was made sufficiently clear by the
story OF Amin, printed yesterday in
one OF the afternoon papers. Amin

decision Of the Supreme Court in his

but the significance of the thing is

RICHARDSON
CONVICTED
Jury DeIIberates Short
Time--Heavy Che
Fa Penalty.

E. Vivian Richardson was found
guilty of en,bezzlement of public money
by the jury in Judge Lindsay's court
yesterday afternoon. His trial was
upon the first of five indictments and
tie embezZiemerts were alleged to
have bee1 committed two yers ago,
while tie defendant was chief cler5S
in the bureau of the Honolulu Water
Works. According to the evidence,
Richardson's total shortage was over
$2ScO.
The trial took five days. including
day lost in trying to get a jury.
Nearly three-fourths of a day was oc-
cupied in settling the instructions of
the court to the jury. NJ. F. Prosser
Attorney General, prosecuted and A.
G.. M. Robertson defended. The jury
consisted of J. J. AIberts. J. G. Abreu,
A. A. Dunn, w. C. Gilman, Jas.
Haughton Harry Lyman, S. Lesser, J.
Ordenstein, A NJ. Simpson, E. O..
White, w r. Waters and j. F. Soper.
They were out but f1fty-two minutes
when, at 5:2S p. M, they returned a
verdict as already stated
Mr.. Robertson in closing to the jury
strenuously urged the technical plea
that the taking of the money charged
in the particular Indictment was prob
ably stealing but was not embezZle
ment. He contended that the Water
Works Clerk was not a legally au-
thoriZed custodian of the bureaus
revenues and therefore inca pable. I'M
der the statute, of embezzling them.
The court itself instructed the jury
that statutory embezzlement was a
very technical offense
Mr. Prosser closed for the Territory
ding the jury's minds of any technical
maze in which they might have been
involved
On the rendition of the verdict Mr..
Robertson noted exceptions to it, with
notice of motion for a new trial. Then
he went out, the court having adj
journed, to look up a bond for Rich
ardson's release pending the motion
for new trial

it cannot be reached save by making
an extremely dangerous trip and one
filled with hardship, especially at this
time of the year, when the mountains
are firmly in winters icy grasp. In
the spring they will return and de-
velop their find.
In rough and mountainous section,
they say, they found a gray quartz
ledge, literally filled with precious
metal. Small pieces were broken off,
pounded up in frying pan which they
had with them and the gold picked out
by the mems fingers and placed in a
bottle. Should the ledge prove as
rich as the samples, a man could make
mortar and gold pan, and in a
weeks time take out enough of the
gold to make him wealthy.
AS an evidence of their find they
have the little bottle of gold dust,

made by o. D. Johnson which prove
that the mineral is genuine.-Wenat-

had become more and more excited,
and then she came back. Forgetting
all about her cherished hat and SEEM

In two minutes she shot up-the hat

where she had left it, but it must be

within a radius of twenty feet. No
hat was to be found The fat lady,
sympathetic but immovable, did all
she could to help look for it, except
stand up. Ushers were summoned,
ice-water boys, programme boys. The
whole balcony was having a nervous
chill over the mysterious disappear
ance. Only the girl from Brooklyn,
in the seat behind, knew the answer
to the question, and she was too ex-
hausted from the strain Of suppressed

matinee performance recently, a wom-
an very far above the weight that well
regulated scales describe as normal,
ambled down the aisle and took her
seat, an end one The whole balcony
seemed to vibrate when she sat down
Not more than a few minutes later a
small, wiry, business-like woman
hoped down tho aisle, and with great
difficulty and extraordinary gymnastic
effort managed to climb over the fat
lady and take the seat next to her.
Everything was peaceful until after
the first act, when the thin spectator
decided to climb out again to speak to
friend ten or twelve hows back. She
had new hat, which she had been
holding lovingly in her lap. With a
last fond look at it, she hesitatingly
left it on her chair, went through the
same gymnastic act, landed safely in
the aisle and went quickly back to her
friend Now fat people are always
counted good natured, and the end

STORY OF NAPOLEON REVIVED.
Assertion Again Made That He Or
dered Sick Soldiers Poisoned.

A grim story of Napoleon is told
by Christian Was in a Frankfort re-
view under the title of Napoleon at
Jaffa. A great number Of the sol
diers were down with the plague, and
one day Bonaparte sert for his chief
surgeon, Larrey. '.If were you," he
said to him, II should put our plague
patients out of their misery; it would
save them from having recourse to
opium to soothe them. But my duty
is to make them live, replied Lar
rey. Bonaparte then revealed the
grim truth. He and his staff were re-
duced to travelling on foot because the
horses were all being dsed for the
transportation of the sick. He must,
therefore, either abandon the plagne-
stricken to the cruelty of the enemy
/ or get rid of them. Mr.. Was main
tains that the order was carried out
accordingly. There is an end OBJ

American, in the settled melancholy
of his fifty-eighth year, is absorbed in
"a new diversion-the rebuilding and

|ment. 81 Ss;
The American millionaire's sole Dis
version now seems to be the making
over Of old Heyer castle. For two
years and half he has had from 1000
to 5000 workmen engaged on the
work, spending more money in the re-
construction than the historic castle
cost it's original builders and for all
! the remodeling and repairs Of four
centuries to keep it in habitable con-
dition.
Not only is Mr.. AStOr rebuilding the
castle, but he is constructing an en-
| tire village, to represent the vassalage
attached to manor house Of the fif-
teenth or sixteenth century. Cottages
made of stone, brick and cement, with
red-tiled roofs, peaked gables and
lquaint old-fashioned chimneys, are
now taking form under the workmen's
hands.
Every building is different. An eff
fort is being made to represent a vii
| lage that, grew up naturally, and the
strange variety of form characteristic
Of old English towns. The stones and
masonry are being stained to repre-
sent the weathering of centuries. Most
Of the buildings are on one long, wide
street, with a little park at one end of
it, But there are also little narrow
side streets, with stone paving and
tagging, as crooked as some of~Bos-
toms highways, giving still farther
suggestion of age and natural growth.
! In every point Mr.. Astor is seeking
to carry out the impression that this is
an English village of the Tudor period.

WILD TINES IN ODESSA

Earlier in the day two small mer.
chants returning through a busy thor
oughfare from the custom house were
stopped by hooligans and robbed OF
everything. Thirty yards away
stood picket of two soldiers and a
policeman. The indignant victims de.
manded to know why the picket did
not come to their assistance. One
Of the soldiers replied it was none OF
their business; they were there to
control the traffic only.
Two other cases of robbery with
violence occurred in the afternoon
close to my residence In the outer
districts of the city there were seven
teen similar assaults and robberies,
and between nightfall and midnight
about twenty. In three OF the latter
cases the military pickets. were the
bandits. A little girl of nine years,

Over all frOwnS grim Castle Hever,
where Mr., Astor is to live in all the
pomp and circumstance of medieval
lord. The village implied that it will
be inhabited by the attaches Of the
Astor estate. But how can Mr.. Aston
employ the population of village Of
perhaps 1000 souls in the compare
lively small castle and on the grounds
of the Hever estate? &
This is now the marvel of the coun-
tryside. The people are wondering
whet ,er he is going to emulate the &C.
centric and eXtravagant Lord Astor Of
Stanton lordship, who kept 300 house
a. lendants and had his dinner served
to the sound of his servants stamping
together, as each course was brought
in, which, as an old chronicler says,
produced pleasing noise to his lord
ship, as of thunder" People are also
specializing on whether the American
millionaire will require all his attend
ants to dress in old Tudor costume, to
still further heighten the illusion of
medievaldom.
In April, 1903. Mr.. Astor bought this
famous estate for a paltry S1S5,00O
For over three centuries it had been
place of pilgrimage where people
went to see where Anne Boleyn lived
and where Henry VIII. courted her
with such ardent passion.
Mr. Astor's first move was to fence
in the place with high stone walls.
No outsider is allowed to even get a
peep at what is going on within But
from the tapestries that have been
forw ~ded there, and the costly furni-
ture of the Tudor period which Mr.
Aston has purchased, his purpose is
now understood. He is going to have
the old castle restored in every par
ticular to what it was when it was the
home of Anne Boleyn and when sBluf
King Hal was it's most frequent Wis
i:or.
There is wealth Of historic asso-
Citations connected with this gray old
pile. 1t is one of the few fortified
castles OF the fifteenth century still
standing in England, in nearly their
original form. Round it are the double

maid of honor inhabited them. A big
canopied bed Of the Tudor period, and
all the hangings and the articles of a
woman's toilet will be supplied 1t
was in these rooms, tradition says,
that coquettish Anne Boleyn, on more
than one occasion, remained and re-
fused to see her royal lover because
of, pique or some fancied slight, to
teach him, with a woman's caprice,
that even tthough he were king, he
must not be too sure of his suit
Poor Ann Boleyn in those romantic
days little dreamed of the fate await
ing her when her handsome kingly
lover, after making her his queen,
should cause her to be led to the
block in the tower of London, and
her pretty head severed, while he rode
gayly to the hounds, blowing the self
same bugle that used to sound his
approach to Hever castle.
From this home Anne Boleyn went
as maid of honor to Henry's court.
TO Hever castle she retired during
the dreadful pestilence, known as the
sweating sickness. It was then that
the king wrote the most ardent love
letters, to which Anne Boleyn replied
in the most endearing terms, cor
respondence that has since become
famous in love literature. Here, too,
in Heve- castle, Anne Boleyn was
stricken with the pestilence, and the
king sent his own physician to attend
her.
