There are sensational reports in cir
culation regarding the Grand Jury in
vestigation of Circuit Court finances.
A considerable number of checks,
drawn on the general funds of the
court are under scrutiny, and it is said
that some attorneys will be called on
for explanations of some of these
checks. The fund, it is known, is short
and as stated in The Star some days
ago, the checks under investigation are
not only those drawn by the former
Clerk Kellett, who is directly charged
with embezzlement.

Circuit Court, as funds belonging to
estates or otherwise involved in litiga-

on hand is only $3,1467O, so that there

that under the laws as they stand here,
judges have the power and duty, as in
British courts, of commenting upon
evidence and expressing to the jury
their opinions as to the guilt or inno-
cense of a defendant. Such a practice
would revolutionize local criminal pro-
ceedings.
Attorney Rawlins for the defense
asked for light punishment of Shiriishi,
saying that the verdict was apparently
a compromise and indicated that some
of the jurors doubted the defendant $
guilt Deputy Attorney General Flem-
ing said he could not understand the
verdict. In fact it was utterly ridicu-
lous,' he said, in view of the evidence.

Last November Shiriishi, Jap pimp
shot a woman who refused to support
him. This morning he could not sup
press a smile as Judge De Bolt express
ed regrets that all the punishment pos
sible, under the inexplicable verdict
rendered by the jury yesterday, was
six months in oahu prison without la
Dor. The pimp fired three shots into
the womans body, and the court re-
marked that it was miracle that She
was not killed. The verdict, of sim
pie assault, was utterly outside of any
possible construction of the evidence
as the judge pointed out, and is said to
have been hasty compromise in order
that the jurors might get to lunch In
cidentally, during his comments on the
case, the judge intimated his opinion

is a shortage of $1,6S9.46. The checks
which p. d. Kellett is definitely alleged
to have drawn improperly aggregate
$034.75, leaving a balance of $654.71 to
be accounted for. There are reports
that some Of this was drawn on checks
on the general fund as Of accounts
which in reality had no funds on hand.
The Grand Jury is trying to find out
where the responsibility lies.
The system in vogue has been for all
money received to be deposited in the
First National bank to the order of the
court, and checks drawn have always
been countersgned by judge of the
court. Thus all the checks being in
vestigated bear a signature of a judge.

A bold and clumsy attempt to rob

York Life Insurance Company was
made last night. The offices of the

The thief secured entrance to the

the office was small sized safe that
attracted the attention of the thief.
The safe was dragged near the door
and then the thief laborously presum-
ably with the aid of a chisel and a

hostility to American railroads; not

scoffed at Lodges speech as learned
essay and held that the railways
