seated. The court was plainly annoy
ed
MIR. Williams" said the judge,
this affidavit and motion of yours is
a trifling with the court. You state
under oath that you expect to prove
by an alleged murderer in this case
that the other defendant melted him to
commit crime for which the penalty
is death. 1t does not appear in your
affidavit, or in any other affidavit,
what reason you have for belief that
the alleged murderer, now at large,
would voluntarily pgive evidence
against this man as accessory, which
evidence would of necessity incrimin-
ate himself. 1t is too extraordinary for
belief that any accused man would
give any such evidence when he him
self was under the same indictment,
the penalty for which, under convic-
ton, is deatn.
Your motion for a continuance on
the ground of the absence of mate
rial witness is sheer effrontery The
motion is denied"
Counsel for the defense Immediately
asked that the county attorney should
enter a nolle prosequi but this the
prosecution refused to do at that time.
Then the case is set for trial on
Monday" said Judge Parsons. II do
this with great regret, for it will put
the county to much expense which
might have been avoided"
The county attorney left court but
later in the day filed a notice of the
withdrawal of the prosecution against
Mitsui The Japanese was at once set
at liberty.
The indictments against the other
man will stand in the meantime so
that if he is ever captured he may be
placed on trial. Mitsui, having been
once in jeopardy, cannot be placed on
trial for the acts specified.

Extra Pay
On Sunday
FIVE MEN OF SCHOONER WEST
MADE DEMAND OF SOMETHING
NOT IN ARTICLES.

Shipping Commissioner Almy eX-
plains the trouble of the five men Of
the schooner A. J. West as follows:
The schooner got in last Sunday
morning and anchored in the stream.
Later in order to dock Capt Yarne-
berg ordered the men to get up steam
in the donkey engine for the purpose
of getting up anchor for docking, and
to put on the sail covers against the
possibility of rain. The men, who be-
long to the union, refused unless they
were paid at the rate of fifty cents per
hour for the Sunday work.
Commissioner Amy states that he
examined carefully the articles under
which the men signed for SIX months,
and that there is no specification re-
garding extra pay for Sundays, wheth-
er in port or out, and moreover they
had agreed by the articles to unload
cargo. He is inclined to think that
the prospect Of doing the hard work
of unloading the lumber cargo of the
schooner had something to do with the
refusal of the men to work.

TRAGEDY
IN PALOLO
CLANDESTINE MEETINGS OF
WOMAN DEAD FROM POISONING.

Thirteen-year-old Miss All toong,
English-speaking Chinese, played tru-
ant and met Chen zee, lover, in Pa
lolo, at the home of aged Mrs. All
Kieu.
Mr.. All Foong finds out and prose-
cutes lover. Mr.. All Kieu finds out
and scolds wife who sheltered shame.
Mrs. All Kieu dies this morning, pois-
oned by opium.
Miss All Foong was supposed to at
tend Kaahumanu school. She lived in
Moiliili. She would tell the teacher
sick parents and she would tell Ter
parents that she was kept at school to
look for money lost by the teacher, or
some other excuse, and all the time
she was in Palolo, meeting this Chen
zee, a pig rancher, who treated her
wrongfully.
Probably to avoid being sent to the
Industrial school, Miss All Foong call
ed on Chief of Detectives Taylor on
Wednesday morning to ask that she
be sent to the Salvation Army Rescue
Home. She complained that her faith
err had beaten her with shoe and she
exhibited her body to show bruises
inflicted thereby. She wanted protec-
ton.
The Chief thought there was some
thing strange about the affair and
himself investigated with the result
that he ascertained that the little wom-
an had been having adventures and
had come from her pig-ranch Lotharlo
that very morning.
Attorneys for the girls father called
last evening on Mrs. All Kieu, to as
certain all facts in regard to the habits
of Chen zee and Miss All Foong on oc-
casions at her house. The woman's
husband came home and wanted 10
know what all the talk was about, for
his wife had said nothing to him or
Miss All Foong's visits.
The police were surprised this morn
ing to be informed of the sudden death
of Mrs. An Kieu and investigation re-
Vealed the fact that she had been pois-
oned by opium. The first theory is
that she was reInorseful in contem-
plation of the shame her roof had shell
tered and of the effects, the prosecu-
ton of Chen zee, the notOriety, what
her husband said to her, perhaps, and
what all Chinese who knew her and
what other people would think and
say.
An inquest is to be held. Meanwhile
Chen zee is in custody for his rela-
lions with Miss All FoOng.
Chen zee may have to answer for a
serious crime. Attorney Lightfoot
who represents the father of the girl
was on the All Kieu premises yesterday

COUNTY ATTORNEY
OF HAWAII ROASTED
HE MAKES STRANGE MOTION IN CASE CHARGED
WITH MURDER-JUDGB PARSONS HANDLES WITHOUT
GLovEs-wLLIAMs AS NEXT MOVE THE ONE MAN IN
FREE
CUSTODY GO FREE.

HILO, April 2.--One of the most re-
markable scenes in a Hawaiian court
of justice for a long time past was en-
acted in the Circuit Court of the
Fourth Circuit, Judge Parsons presid-
ing, last Friday morning, when the
judge found it necessary to pronounce
a singing rebuke to County Attorney
Charles Williams, the Hilo Tribune re-
ports.
The case on trial was that of Y. c..
Mitsui, charged on two indictments
with the crime of murder in the first
degree, Kukuda Tetsuji being jointly
charged with him. Fukuda Tetsuji
has never been caught. The murders
with which the men were charged oc-
Cured at Honokaa on December "a
last, Y. Sugioka and woman named
Hami being the victims. Jealousy over
the transfer of Hami's affections is
supposed to have been the motive.
w. s. Wise was retained for the de-
not actually do the killing, but who
directed Fukuda Tetsuji to do 1t and
was actually present when it was done.
True bills having been found and
a plea of not guilty having been en-
tered in each case, trial was set for
Friday morning. County Attorne"
Williams then appeared and filed a
motion for continuance. The motion
was based on the idea that: The
prosecution expects to prove by Fuku-
da Tetsuji that he, the said Fukuda
Tetsuji, committed the murders as SET
out in the Indictment heretofore tiled
in this court and that the said Y. c,
Mitsui aided, melted, procured, coun-
tenanced, hired and commanded the
said Ful1uda Tetsuji to commit the
said murders"
Attorney Wise rose Immediately on
the reading of this strange motion but
Judge Parsons motioned him to be

Atkinson Not
The Boss

A. L. c. Atkinson, in talking this
afternoon about the article appearing
in this mornings paper, stating that
he had been elected superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League, stated: Il
have never, and neither do l intend
now to become the superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League.
81 am an attorney, and expect to
continue my study and practice of
law, and do not intend to give it up
for anything else.
Il am heart and soul with the local
option movement, as l believe it is the
proper way to handle the liquor ques-
ton here in Hawaii.
II don't believe prohibition is prac-
teal, but l do believe local option is
the best practicable method at the
present time"

Play FOR TONIGHT

"In Town." at the Orpheum last
night, kept the crowded house laugh
ing and clappfng throughout the whole
piece, and certainly gave everyone a
very good time.
Tonight, the musical comedy, The
Belle of New York" WILDE staged
with some of the best artists in the
company in the leading roles. This
play made quite a hit last week, and
tickets are going fast.
The management wishes to announce
that absolutely no tickes will be held
for the last two performances unless =
positive promise is given that they will
be called for before six o'clock on the
evening of the performance. They will
not be held later than that time.
This step became necessary through
the habit of a number of peoplS of or
dering seats reserved for them when
they had no definite intention of going.
Seats thus held were often uncalled
for and so were thrown back upon the
management at the very last minute
After eight o'clock, they were sold to
the first Corners, who thus secured
some of the best seats while those who
had tried previously were unable to
get them.
AS this is unfair to the management
as well as to the public, it was decided
to try to put a stop to it.

face the serious handicap presented by county

Augusta, in South. Carolina. In spite of strong
local opposition, the county officials opened an
official gin mill there and the sales have been
enormous.
But, in spite of this, the good results Of Pro

the month of January there has been falling off
of thirty-two percent in the arrests m de by the
police of this city, as compared with the arrests
of January, 1907. In this reckoning are included
sixteen cases of prosecution for attempts to VIC
