F.. Storey constituted the jury
Deputy Attorney General VIM. L.
Whitney prosecuted and Albert F..
Judd defended. Both made records of
brevity in their closing addresses to
the jury. Neither took more than five
minutes. The jury were out eighteen
minutes.
Defendant is a son if Deputy Sheriff
Pahia of Koolaupoko and the deadly
weapon in the case is pair of hand
cuffs. The story of the row that gave
rise to Pahias arrest was fully told
in the Advertiser at the time. Feya,
the complaining witness, was marked
on the forehead, besides receiving cuts
of the occurrence being September 28
last
After calling Feya, DR.. Pratt, Tony
Watson and George Watson the prose-
cution rested. Mr.. Judd then moved
for directed verdict of acquittal
This was argued in the absence of
the jury and denied.
Witnesses for the defense were Da-
vid Kane. All Cheong, Keoki and his
wife Kikia, another woman named
Kaiawa and Pahia in his own behalf.
Defendant fully justified in advance
the verdict by his account of the
trouble. There was a row in the Ka-
neohe store at 1890 the night in ques-
ton between Feya and one Makoni.
Both were drunk. Pahia, who adj
mitted having taken drink of wine
at Heeia shortly before and another
on reaching Kaneohe, separated the
combatants. Feya went out. Makoni
was bewailing the breakage of soda
water bottles in the late scrimmage,
and Pahia soothed him with a prom
Use to replace the broken bottles.
Pahia heard the cry of a woman out
side that there was a fight. He went
out and saw Feya trying to force.
his way into the store and a China
man resisting his entrance. Butting
in again, professedly as a peacemaker.
Pahia was grabbed by Feya. They
struggled fiercely together. Pahia
pulled a pair of handouts out of his
pocket, which he testified he did to
scare Feya with a threat of arrest.
George Watson came up and Pahia
pushed him off, but Watson said he
came to help and not hurt him. As
he tried to back away, Feya followed
him up and he struck at him. A sec
ton of the handouts had got locked
on his hand and he could not get it
off. Finally he took Feya to Jail and
had him locked up on the charge of
ARRAY.
THAT is ALL" Mr.. Whitney closed
Pahia's cross-examination by saying.
when Pahia said positively that he
could not release his hand when the
bracelets had closed over only his
fingers.
