Perry, representing the defendant.
The witness on the stand at the
time was one Kekuku, a member Of
the Mormon church on the other side
Of the Island, and deputy tax asses
sor for the district of Koolauloa He
is also what is known as a kumu, or
teacher in the church. In his testi-
mony he told of being at meeting at
which the relations between Kekauoha
and Amia came up. There were also
present four elders, or kahunapule and
eight or nine kumu or teachers.
Then a long series of questions and
| cross-questions were propounded in
effort to bring out clearly the distinc-
| tion between these two classes of Off
cials, and it was finally established
that the kumu have none of the higher
privileges of the elders, and do not
| have power to grant absolution.
The defense waned the witness to
state if it was not considered that the
! proceedings Of such a gathering was
private and not to be divulged; but
Dunn declared that they could only be
so by specification of the statutes.
1t was on this point that the law
yers argued for about an hour, when
the court adjourned until Monday
morning when the matter will be de-
cided,
Prior to this question coming up,
some very damaging testimony was
given of women witnesses who had
seen the two defendants in compromis-
ing relations on a number of different
! occasions.
