COLOMBO GETS LIFE TERM
Fate of Man Who Killed His Friend,
Joseph Fiorenzs.
JURY DELBERATEs ALL NIGHT
Defendant Makes His Case Remark
able by Unique PleR that He
killed 60 Put Friend Out
of Misery.

Imprisonment for life was the punish
ment decreed by the jury in Judge Sears
court to severia Colombo for shooting to
death his friend and roommate, Joseph
Fiorenza, while the two were hunting near
East Omaha last January.
The verdict was returned at 10 o'clock
Thursday morning after the jury had been
out all night. The work Of the jury. how
ever. was disturbed by the serious illness
OF Juror c. S. McMonies, 800 South Twen-
tieth street. He was taken III about 10:3)
Wednesday night and a physician was
called. upon whose advice the jury was
removed to sleeping quarters until morn
ing McMonies was much better Thursday
morning and was able to take part in the
deliberations of the jury.
The verdict was entirely satisfactory to
Colombo's friends and after it was re-
turned his mother and sister asked Samuel
Mancuso, the interpreter, to thank the
court and Jury for them. When Mr.. Man
cuso interpreted the verdict to Colombo
he sat mute, as II he did not grasp the
meaning of it all. When he was asked If
he-was satisfied he replied, with a shrug
| of the shoulders, II don't know" His at
torney. John E. Reagan. said he would not
ask for new trial, as he believed justice
| had been done.
! Defense il Novel One.
The case has attracted more than the
usual amount OF attention because of the
peculiar defense put up by Colombo. He
said in his story of the killing that the
shotgun in his hands exploded accidentally,
the charge striking Fiorenza In the face
He said Fiorenza, wrlthing with pain. had
! begged him to end his pain with another
shot and he had complied sending the
charge Into the injured mans head and
severing the jugular vein. Then he said he
! ran to Cutoff lake, threw the rest of his
cartridges into the water and went home
as fast as he could. His lawyers contended
he was insane when he fired the second
shot.
The case came to an abrupt close Wednes-
day afternoon after Deputy County At
| torney Coad had addressed the jury. The
attorneys for the defense announced they
would waive argument. After Judge Sears
had read his instructions the jury retired.
ABOUT half of the Jurors at first favored
the death penalty and one or two favored
acquittal on the ground Colombo was insane
when he fired the shot. Finally all of then
came around to the life Imprisonment yer.
dict except two, who stood out for the
death penalty. Several ballots were taker
before the agreement was reached. The
verdict was returned under the first count
of the information, charging premedltated
murder
The county attorneys theory was thai
Colombo had killed his friend for the
money he was supposed to have. Fiorenza
was getting ready to go back to Italy and
it was supposed he had considerable money
saved up.

NOW TO FINISH
NUUANU DAM

Continued from Page One)
1t unquestionably also adds consider
ably to the stability of the structure
by an increase of cross section.
Following out the plans suggested
by Mr.. Kellogg and modified in a
measure by Mr.. Schuyler would have
decreasd the section of the dam in the
center from what is now planned.
The original rock fill required A.
900 cubic yards, whereas the new con-
struction will require only 5000 cubic
yards. There will be approximately
100000 cubic yards of earth fill re-
quired, besides lots of timber and con-
crete work, revetements. etc.
"All of the recommendations of Kel-
logg and Schuyler are followed to the
extent of raising the dam ten feet. The
spillway is to be constructed of re-
inforced concrete and stone masonry"
The specifications are prepared in
very minute detail. They are the
product of months of study on the part
of the Superintendent and his assist
ants. Every salient point that could
be imagined in a perfect thesis of dam
construction has been sought in the
preparation, as well as the special re-
quirements of local conditions thought
out and reduced to statement. AL
though voluminous the specifications
are clear and explicit, containing full
directions for every part of the work
to be done and every stage of con-
struction.
The appropriation for the completion
of the Nuuanu dam is s132, 200.

PINEAPPLES AT HAUULA.
In patches near the sea and in other
patches on the highlands of the Koo-
lau Company two months ago pine
apple suckers were set out. Today
these patches are filed with sturdy
plants, in both attitudes the pines ap-
pearing TO do equally well. In the
kuleanas of the Punaluu valley. and
in the Chinese and Japanese gardens
along the railroad. are more pines.
none OF which have as yet reached
the fruit-bearing stage. but all Of
which look as fresh and healthy as
those in the fields of the famous pine
apple districts of Wahiawa.
Many of the small agriculturalists
Of Koolau have the pineapple fever,
and should the first crop from these
experimental patches turn out well,
as seems almost certain, large area
will go into pines next year. enough
to maintain a large cannery.
MANUFACTURING STARCH.
Seven hundred pounds of starch a
day, all readily salable on the Ho-
nolulu market, is now being turned
out at the starch mills just at the
foot Of the Pail road. Those marvel
ing at the view from the top of the
height have al, noted the patch of
deepest green just where the final
slope of the precipice foot merges into
the fiat, in the midst of the green
white spot being conspicuous. The
green patch is the two hundred acres
of growing manioca, from the root CT
which is extracted the stiffening for
the shirt fronts and other linens of
Honolulu. The white spot amid the
green is the mill where the roots are
ground, macerated and the starch ex-
tracted and dried.
The industry is we'll past the expert
mental stage, although in it's infancy.
The plans for the future include the
charging of the present mill or the
building of a new one with modern
equipment, for the manufacturing ma
chinery in the present mill is very
primitive, and the planting of a double.
or treble acreage of manioca. Hawai-
ian starch for export from the Koo-
lau district will follow as a result of
the undermining of this plant or the
building of a new one.

After a trial lasting three days.
Healani Leialoha was granted a di-
vorce from SAMUEL Lelaloha on the
ground of non-support. Alimony Of
fifty cents a day and custody of the
young son were awarded TO the wife
Judge De Bolt did not care to award
alimony if it was going to produce
contempt cases for default of pay
nent. and he made the amount larger
than he otherwise would for the sake
of the little boy. The sum was indeed
eXorDitant when considered along with
the estimate of Samuels worth just
pronounced by the court. He was ut
terly without energy and ambition.
Judge De Bolt found. unfit to be either
a husband or a father, such men as he

legislation to prevent the marriage OF

it had not been shown that he was

uselessness. A.,
So severe was the condemnation of
the derelict spouse that his attorney,
Judge Perry. interviewed to remark
that the negatives OF character ex-
pressed were not found in the law.
This Judge De Bolt admitted, but JUS
tilted his discourse as reasoning
against keeping the young mother and
son under the subsection and example
of a man Of no account Throughout
the delivery of judgment Samuel bent
lurchingly toward the floor. sidewise
to the bench. and never once lifted
his countenance to the court. c. F.
