merchant on his own account, also
raising coffee and cattle on Hawaii.
He later was manager of store in
Honolulu. For the last your years he
has been law clerk and interpreter,
and has acted as such in the Office of
Attorney j. Lightfoot.
The charges are backed up by re-
ceipts in Cathcart IS handwriting, by
documentary evidence in abundance, by
the statements of w. r. Castle and
other reputable persons with frst-hand
knowledge of the facts, while the
strongest evidence of the truth and
seriousness of the matters which Goo
Wan Hoy will bring to light is the fact
that before the Advertiser called upon
Goo Wan Hoy for any information
Cathcart took steps to try and prevent
him from making any statement of the
case, having asked Mr.. Lightfoot to
try and accomplish this.
In connection with this case, it is In
terestng to note that the name of
Willie Crawford appears as an agent

portion of the fee, being signed "per

foregoing statement concerning the case
of Palea VS.. M. Davis, and the connec-
ton Of Jno w. Cathcart Herewith. is
true, SO help me God.

In further endeavor to prevent the
Advertiser from printing the Goo Wan
Hoy charge against Mr.. Cathcart, a
Republican leader sent word to a rep
resentative of the Advertiser that it
had better be careful about publishing
anything on Goo Wan Hoy s statement,
as he was of notorious bad character;
the evidence of which was that Judge
Lindsay had recently made the state
ment that Goo Wan Hoy had been
mixed up in forgery case in Kona.
As the Advertiser was looking for
first-hand facts, it Immediately sent for
Goo Wan Hoy, and, with representa-
tive of this paper, they called on Judge
Lindsay.
Upon the allegation being stated to
the Judge he replied;

nor any statement of that kind, for the
very good reason that nothing of the
kind ever naenrra1 Naitbax -.
