Tho latest daylight burglary and
one OF the boldest no far reported oc-
CURED last Thursday at the residence
OF O. II. Walker, corner OF Young and
Arteslan streets. The burglary took
place between 1880 and noon the
thieves getting away with jewelry to
the value OF $500 before they were dis
turbed at their work and fed.
At the time of the affair there was
! only present at the house the Japa-
nese yardboy. who was busy In the
backyard. About noon he returned to
the house, surprising two men at work
| going through the bureau drawers In
the bedroom of Mr.. and Mrs. Walker,
having dumped the contents of the
drawers on the floor to facilitate their
work. They jumped through the win
dow AS the boy appeared and made
their escape. One of the burglars was
native, the other a Porto Rican or
a negro.
Entrance to the house had been Sc
cured through the bedroom window,
which had been whitfield away on one
side to allow the bending back OF the
catch. To do this 1t is evident that
one OF the pair had been hoisted up
on the shoulders of the other while
the whiting was being done. This
in the light of noon in populous resi-
dental part OF the city is an exhibition
OF nerve and disregard of the police
hard to equal.
The articles stolen were: Gold
watch and chain. diamond ring, bar
pin. pearl pin, Hawaiian pin, Mosaic
pin, belt pin, clasp pin and belt
buckle. all the property of Mrs. Walker.
The affair was reported to the police
as soon as Mr.. Walker was informed
of 1t and list and description OF the
stolen property supplied them. Their
men are now working on the case.
In connection with the many burg
laries OF the past three weeks the po-
lice have made two arrests which
may result in important developments
One OF these is T. Murata. Japanese
in whose second hand store has been
found set of harness stolen from S.
NJ. Damon fortnight ago. and the
other Chun Pong, in whose possession
have been found a number OF articles
Of wearing apparel stolen from Camp
Mckinley. 1t is possible that these
two will be found to be fences for some
Of the Honolulu petty larcenlsts and
burglars. When the premises of Mu-
rata were gone into yesterday by the
police in connection with the theft of
the harness he refused to produce his
books in which are entered the arti-
cles purchased by him or pawned In
his shop, and for this refusal he was
arrested. The Chinaman states that
the soldiers shirts and other articles
in his possession were sold him by the
men, but when the men were paraded
for his benefit yesterday, to enable
him to point out the ones from whom
he had made the purchases, he picked
on one of the sergeants. one of the
most trusted men at the camp, and his
Identification was scorned and he him.
self turned over to the police.
The theft of the harness has led to
the arrest of Maialaloa and Kealu-
kanakaole. who sold it to Murata for
$3.50, and they are also credited with
the theft of a saddle and briddle at the
same time, articles which they are
supposed to have sent away from town
for disposal.
kahahawai, who was caught red-I
handed in the work of going through
Imamuras house in the baseball addi-
ton on Saturday and was turned over
bound to the police, came up for a
preliminary hearing yesterday and was
remanded until this morning.

gree burglary, was also up for trial
yesterday before Judge Whitney, his
case going over until Friday. He is
charged with breaking into the house
of Tum Lum, in Chinatown. on the
18th.
