DAUGHTER TEsTIFIEs IN KoKI
TRIAL.
Laulani Koki, a daughter of Moses
koki, was on the stand as a witness
for the defense of her father before
Judge Dole yesterday morning. The
intent of the defense was to prove by
her testimony that the defendant had
been sick in bed and unable to attend
to his duties between June Is and June
80, 1907, and at other times, when she
attended to the business, proving that
Koki himself was not the only one who
had access to the cash.
The prosecution filed as exhibits
money order duplicates in the hand
writing of the defendant made out
during the periods named as those in
which he was sick in bed, this falling
to disturb the witness, however, who
acknowledged that the father was up
at times. The witness is a very good
one, the cross-examiner falling to ruff
fle her or shake her testimony, which,
however, is not of Importance as yet.
A. w. Carter, manager of the Parker
ranch, was on the stand in the after
noon. He testified to Kokis good repu-
tation and also gave evidence as to a
loan of $500 the defendant had tried
to make.
In the libel filed against the All
steam schooner Despatch by George
Mansfield, until recently her chief
mate and pilot" as stated, the ibelant
states that on the first trip of the yes
sci he took full charge of her sailing
and navigating as pilot, having a Ii
cense to command, while her nominal
master, Eric Kokeritz, had no such Ii
~, ~
tons Captain Kokeritz had agreed to
pay the libelant extra in virtue of his
work as pilot. Under this understand
ing he worked until June last. For
that period he claims $3.50 as pilot fees,
and another $3.50 to cover the costs OF
the libel. He also wants the amount
due him as mate, $3.50 and more.
BY order of Judge Dole the case is
to be proceeded with without the libel
ant providing any bond or security
