LATEST BRIBERY CASE

The weak point in the alleged at

of Detectives is: First, the haste to
make the matter public before II was
fully completed; and.
Second the inability OF the officer
who was admittedly trying to learn
II there was a positive intention to
bride him. to arrange the place of

how and for what purpose the Chief
secured the fifty dollars found in his

THE COURT AND PETERS.

In an editorial utterance that bears
the earmarks of having been handed
In at a late hour after being edited
In judicial circles, one of the city
papers offers an explanation of the
action of the Supreme Court in rep
rimanding the Attorney General for
his action In following the decision
of the Court in the Lanai case.
The explanation says the Attorney
General was not refused the oppor-
Lunity to speak in his own defense.
assumedly, because he did not ask for
II.
The explanation also says the Court
summarily pronounced reprimand
for an offensC that left nothing to be
said. So why should the Attorney
General have asked.
The more the action of the Court
il explained, the more there is to
suggest that the Court, either
through Carelessness In preparing its
decision or Oyer-earnestness in free
ing the Territory from delay in
technicalitics. did something which
IL afterwards wished 1t had not done,
ana consequently made Attorney Gen.
cral Peters the goat.
The Bulletin is not especially in
terested in the matter beyond its de-
sire to see a fair deal, which the At
torney General seems not to have
been given, Notwithstanding the an
nouncement that the Court intended
nothing personal. lie is now like
the man who received a swat In the
Jaw. followed by a statement from
the swatter, In a roundabout way,
that nothing personal was intended.
According to this papers view of
II, the Lanai deal Is closed, and in
accordance with the decision of the
Supreme Court of the Territory of
Hawaii.
AS we believe the transfer was
well advised, there Is more the APP
bearance of the Supreme Court go
ing out of its way TO make trouble
than of anyone misinterpreting its
position--which we confess, in view
of the record and the explanation, to
be veritable enigma.
The last paragraph of the ruling
opinion of the Supreme Court In the
Lanai ease reads as follows
'The decree appealed from is
reversed, the demurrer Is sus-
tanned and the bin dismissed
II that did not finish the job, what
could? The Territorys position was
sustained in all particulars, and in
stead Of remanding the case to the
Circuit Court for such further action
as might be necessary, the bill WAS
dismissed
Further light is shed on +he mat
ter by the rule of the Supreme Court,
which reads;
T.
Mandate Whenever appro-
PIRATE upon the determination of
matter in this court, notice
,or mandate shall be issued to
the court below, informing that
court of the proceedings in this
court or directing further pro-
ceedings In that court as to law
