chamber, asking if she could come in
and as to what the matter might be.
Miss Griffiths entered and the man
dashed by her.
Mrs. Bode would not say the defen-
dant was the man, but she was under
the impression at the time of the al
legged assault that it was he. by the
voice and clothes and general appear
ance. He had presumably gone to his
room soon after eight O'Clock Satur-
day evening, after telling her that the
back doors would not lock.
In previous accounts Mrs. BOde did
not say that she saw the man strike
her husband, saying merely that she
heard blow as of something being hit
that was not hard Today she testified
she saw the pole, or what then appear
ed to be a broom handle or perhaps
the handle of an 90 or short spade
exhibited in court, in the act of des-
cent. She saw the man striking. Her
husband was dazed and did not seem to
realize what had happened.
Miss Griffiths testified that she heard
screams as if they We're very loud
screams coming from a considerable
distance. The wind was high that
night and the windows were rafting.
She went to the Bode room and asked
If she could enter As she opened the
door, hearing Mrs. Bode scream, a man
dashed out and she was under the i'm
preston that it was Mr. Bode himself
and reached and grabbed him by the
arm and wrist to hold him, but the
man threw her off and ran down the
passage. Then Mrs Bode switched on
the electrics in her room and Miss
Griffiths turned on the lights in her
room, so that there was fair light in
the hallway. The man she saw, she
says when the lights were on, was not
Mr.. Bode. He appeared to her to be a
Japanese and his features were similar
to the servant, the defendant, but the
man in the passage seemed taller than
the servant.

terpreted to Huyashi. He said he had
no questions to ask of Mrs. Bode All

the blow that nearly lost the Astral
were probably as exciting and fearful
as one can imagine. The storm last
ed three days and all canvas that was
spread was carried away and even the
furled sails were torn from the spars
by the bowling blast. The topgallant

There has not been time for the

He is in receipt of a letter from the
captain of the Astral, written the day

that young Purdy is advancing rapidly
a fact his big circle of Honolulu friends
will readily understand.

ASTRAL DISMASTED:
HONOLULU BOY SAFE
YOUNG PURDY, WHO ROUNDED START OF
RETURN VOYAGE, THE ASTRAL BEING TO NEW YORK
TERRIFIC HURRICANE SAILS FROM sPARs AND
SHIP LIST. THIRTY-Two DEGREES

In the newspaper files from the coast
today Major Purdy first learned that
the American ship Astral, ont of Bal
timore for San Francisco on Septem-
ber 30, in which his son, Warren, was
pursuing his marine education, was
dismantled on October in latitude 80
north, longitude 6S west, in a terrific
hurricane and was on October 16 towed
into New York harbor.
On Saturday last Major Purdy re-
ceived a cable from his son dated Oc-
tober 16, at New York, with but one
word, SAFE" in the message. It was
the first idea he had of anything being
wrong with the Astral, for the infer
ence was, since Warren was aboard the
Astral and had undertaken to cable
that he was safe, that something must
have injured the vessel.
Major Purdy has received no further
cable, the only information following
the cable being the news contained in
San Francisco papers of October IT to
the effect that the Astral had been dis
mantled in hurricane.

The selection of the jurors in the
trial of John Wynne for the murder OF
Oiler McKinnon, of the steamer Rose
Grams, has not yet been completed and
from the way in which things are go
ing it seems doubtful if it will be to-
day. The prosecution still has two
of it's five peremptory challenges left,
while Attorney Thompson, for the de-
fence, has used but ten of the twenty
which he is allowed.
The men in the panel, as might be
expected, are not very anxious to
serve in case like this where capi
tai punishment is involved and some
of those who have been drawn give
one excuse and some another, varying
between a dislike of the death pen
atty and a refusal to accept insanity
case.
A. c. Roderigues, of Hilo, is evident
ly a reader of the newspapers and re-
members what he had read. When be-
ing questioned by Attorney Thompson,
in regard to his opinion on insanity
as a mitigating circumstance or de-
fence, he stated that from the question
ing he had heard while waiting to be
called he believed that Thompson was
going to put up a defence similar to
that which was used in the Thaw trial
and that he would never vote for ac-

PARDON
PETITION

Attorney Clem Quinn, who repre-
sented Sansui, the Japanese woman,
convicted of having a still in her pos
session and also of distilling liquor
without taking out the bond required
by law, was spending his time this
morning circulating a petition to Pre-
sident Roosevelt that she might be
pardoned. When the case was COM
pleted and the woman had been found
guilty on both counts Judge Dole gave
her the minimum sentence on both
counts, one month and 500 fine in
the first and six months and $500 fine
in the second.
1t was called to the attention of the
judge that the woman was destitute,
had five children, the oldest being only
a little over seven, and that her hus-
band had been killed by a fall from
an electric car only a short time ago.
He stated at the time of giving sem
tence that he was compelled by Haw to
do so, but that he would sign an ap-
plication for pardon if the matter
were brought before him. Attorney
Quinn is obtaining the signatures OF
the members of the jury which brought
in the verdict and also of Judge Dole
and District Attorney Breckons ana
will forward the document TO Wash
ington at once.

MAN
WAS Mr.. BODE
LADY VISITING IN HILLS, HEARING
FRIENDS TEMPTED TO STOP MAN RUSHING
OUT UNDER IMPRESSION HE WAS HER CHUMs HUsBAND-JAP
SERVANT HELD ON SLIM EvI DENCE.

Huyashi, Japanese, and until Sunday
morning last, servant in the house of
Mr.. and Mrs. Bode, College Hills, this
morning appeared in police court on
preliminary examination before Judge
is that of assault with intent to do
murder and the other is that of assault
with intent to commit rape.
Mrs. Bode took the stand and tes-
tilted to the following effect. She and
her husband retired Saturday night in
their room in the front of the house,
that evening being the first of their
occupancy of the Judge Matthewman
cottage. There was but one bed in the
room and another was brought in and
the two placed alongside the Japanese
servant helping Bode and Mr.. Bode S
bed being placed nearest the door
There were no nets used and the beds
were quite close. There was some
commonplace conversation between
husband and wife before retiring, in
regard to reading and then slumber
claimed the pair.
Mrs. Bode, she testifies, was awaken
ed by someone in the room and she
saw a man, short and one who gave
her the impression that he was the
Japanese servant, with long pole-like
thing in his hand, held over his head,
near her husbands bed; then she saw
and heard the pole fall and strike
something on the bed.
The man then went to her bed and
took hold of her He leaned over and
took hold of her face. She screamed
and struggled. He said: you keep
quiet and | no kill you" She said
Very WELL | will be quiet, but what
do you want?' He stated his case,
using a Japanese word which Mrs. Bode
says she does not remember, but which
sounded soft and seemed to have an
IS" sound. He made signs and she
again screamed which was the signal
for the man to again take hold of her
face and neck, choking her and put
ting his fingers in her mouth. She
felt her strength going, and screamed
again.
Then she heard the voice of Miss
Griffiths, her friend from Australia

Kalua has been indicted in connec-
tion with the Cooper estate administra-
tion. He contradicted on oath evidence
to the effect that he had obtained cer-
tain cattle from the estate, of which
one Kapu was administrator, retained
the livestock and never paid for the
property.
Kapu was ordered by Judge Kepoi-
kai to be imprisoned for contempt of
court on his failure to pay $3.50 belong
ing to the estate into court, but, as

Kalua is Republican candidate for
county attorney of Maui under extra
ordinary circumstances. When the
Republican convention nominated him
he, at that moment, was sitting as a
delegate in the Democratic county con-
vention.
He was the predecessor of Judge Ke-
poikai on the circuit court bench, be-
ing removed from that high position
by President Roosevelt, at the instiga-

quittal on the ground of temporary
insanity. He was promptly challenged
for cause and after long argument, in
which the two attorneys, Judge Dole
and the talesman took part, was fin
ally excused without obliging Thomp-
son to use one of his peremptory
challenges.
In the examination of Bertram Won
Damn, his views on the average man
turned out to be interesting and were
backed up by Judge Dole. When be-
ing examined by Prosecutor Rawlins,
Won Damn stated that he believed
that practically every man who COM
mitted a crime was insane in some
manner at the time when it was done.
Thompson then took the matter up
and got Won Damn to state that he
believed that "all of us have some
moral squint." He went on to say
that he thought that a criminal had
rather more of a moral squint" in
some different direction. Later in
questioning the talesman Judge Dole
agreed that practically all men have
moral squint." No full definition
of the term was decided on.
1t may be taken as certain that the
trial will be a very long one and that
it will be one in which the testimony
of experts on insanity will be called,
a great part of whose testimony will
be of a technical character.

union Mr.. Taft might just as we'll

ator Knute Nielsen, one of the most
astnte political observers and certainly
one of the best campaigners in the
northwest. He was just leaving the
train at Crookston, having accom-
panied the party from st. Paul across
the state. While admitting the fight
for governor will be a close one
owing to the fact two popular
Scandinavians are pitted against each
other, the Minnesota senator assured
Mr. Taft the Republican electoral
ticket in mis- state would have from
40, 600 to 60, 600 majority.
