COURT
WOMAN UNDERGOING
TRIAL FOR ILLICIT DISTILLING
BEFORE JUDGE DOLE.

The trial of Japanese woman nam
ed Sansui, who is charged with Illicit
distilling, was commenced in the Fed
eral Court this morning The woman,
with five little children, the youngest
a babe in arms and the oldest not more
than six years of age was present and
undecided in regard to her plea. She
wanted to plead guilty at one time and
not guilty five minutes after. 1t was
finally decided to enter a plea of not
guilty and to proceed with the trial.
The case for the defense is being con-
ducted by Attorney Glen Quinn and for
the prosecution by Assistant U. S. Dis
trict Attorney w. T. Rawlins. The
following jury was empaneled: G. F.
Winter, A. c. ROdrigues, r. w. Sharpe,
II. f. Wichman, George Mundon, J. w.
A. Redhouse, John Detor, A. NJ. Gilman

STRANGE ASSAULT
CONTINUED from Page Four

Dr. Collins was summoned to dress
BODIES head Bode was removed to
the hospital and a successful operation
was performed and it is thought he
will recover.
The japanese servant has given a
statement with a view to proving an
alibi and this is being investigated
Meanwhile he remains in custody and
no further arrests have been made.
Theories are thick. reasonable and
otherwise. One is that the man who
attempted to blow up former Chief of
Detectives Taylor's house in Manoa
is the man responsible for the Bode
crime. Another that some strange
vag in the city had been secretly
studying the Matthewman house be-
fore the BODIES moved in and, know
ing the place, visited it again for rob-
berry, was surprised at Bode waking
and struck him then graphing with
the wife when she tried to scream.
An 90, or short spade, with han
die broken, was found at the back Of
the house on the ground. That the
spade may have been the weapon used
to fracture BODIES skull is one of the
guesses made.
