GNU SEQ CAPTURED
By High SHERIFF

Chu SEQ, alias All Sing, the Chinese
who walked olut of the police station
several weeks ago under the nose of
the police and who has baffled all their
efforts ever since to recapture him, was
taken into custody late last night by
High Sheriff Henry. 1t was all as easy
as falling off a log.
| The High Sheriff disclaims any par
| ticular credit for himself for the cap
ture, other than that he was probably
| the only man, with the possible excep-
| ton of Special officer Apana, who could
nave recognized the man and have pos
itively identified him. But be that as
1t may, the High Sheriff "seen his duty
and he done it," Also, he recognized
the opportunity and he seized it by the
| forelock AS result Chu SEQ once
more languishes in the local Bastille-
and the police department is even less
! talkative than usual.
About II o'clock last night" says
| the High Sheriff, Il received tele-
phone call from Y man named Rankin
at Kahana. He said that two of his
neighbors had jdst brought in a China
|
suspicious manner, and he thought
possibly he was Chu SEQ, the man the
police had been looking for and could
| MT find.
Il at once hitched up and drove over,
distance OF about 20 miles, and got
the man. AS soon as saw him | knew
he was Chu SEQ, for had him in jail
here for. a year. He didn't go by the
name oPChu SEQ at that time, though,
hut by that of All Sing
The fellow put up great bluff and
denied that he was the man wanted.
He carried it off pretty well, too, but
knew who he was, and at last, when he
saw it was no use, he began to laugh
| 10 himself, and admitted | was right.
He said that he had been working at
Laie plantation for some time, but
heard that he was being looked for and
| thought he had better get out. He went
over to kahana and stayed there sew
eral days. Last night he was smoking
opium when they took him out OF a
house there as suspicious character
What do they want to arrest me
| for?' he asked.
Well, for one thing, you broke
Jail said How did you get OUT?
Why, they left the door open and
just walked out. he said. Why
shouldn't ~
Ibid you climb out over the cook
house?' l asked him.
NO he said. I walked out the
door
Didn't the night clerk see your
Ono, he couldn't.
Henry explains that this is probably
SO, as the counter in front of the clerk 4
seat is high one and Chu SEQ is short
and probably stopped some when he
went past.
Il asked him if there wasn't guard
in front of the station" continued the
High Sheriff, land he said there was
but the man didn't see him.
| Chu SEQ told the police about the
same story regarding his escape. After
he had left the station he went to Ka-
| lihi valley, where he stayed over night
in banana patch. The following
night he went~to Aiea, and on the day
following he boarded the train and
went on it to Kahuku. He walked to
Laie, where he worked for several
weeks on a rice plantation where his
uncle was employed. He had left that
place and gone to Kahana the day be-
fore the police arrived there, showing
that they had been hot on his trial.
Chu SEQ appeared before Judge Whit
ney this morning. He waived examin-
alton and was committed to the Grand
Jury.
