All Poi UP
FOR HEARING
Alleged Burglar Faces Judge
and jury---Foster Case
Pau.

| All Poi, the alleged jewelry store
| burglar, is now under trial before {
jury in Judge De Bolts court, the full
number OF jurymen having been Sc
cured yesterday afternoon. Deputy
Attorney General Milverton is conduct
| ing the case for the Territory, Carlos
| Long appearing for the defense. The
| main witness put on the stand yester-
| day was Chief of Detectives Taylor
who testified to the arrest of the pris-
| oner and the circumstances which
pointed him out to the police as the
guilty man.
The crime for which All Poi is on trial
is the burglary of the jewelry store OF
George Haffner, on Alakea street, on
which same night, early in January
last, there were one or two other bur-
glaries, chief among which was the rob-
bling of Faria's tailor shop on Hotel
street. The prisoner, shortly after the
burglary had been committed, sold a
anese jeweler on King street, near the
junction with Beretania, who turned
the plumber over to the police and laid
a trap for All Poi. He walked into it
the next night and was nabbed by De-
tective Taylor.
The arrest at that time attracted con-
siderable attention, being the first ar
rest made for burglary for some time,
although prior to the change in the
police administration the city had been
overrun with thieves. 1t was the first
important arrest of the new police
force.
