told me Friday night Again | wen
to the Lord to know His will in thu
matter. Saturday morning while | wa.
praying | saw that the thing to do wa.
to clean up here before going to kai
lua. So | Immediately went for two
of my helpers and then asked Miss Null.
lenger and Miss Olsen Miss Olser
had told me the day before that she
saw that they were altogether in the
wrong and that she had been a too
in the hands of Miss Mullenger, and
that she was very sorry for all Nhe
wrong that they had done, and that
she would go if | wished or she would
! stay and work under me if I wished1
! We, the four of us, worked with Miss
Mullenger for maybe a halliday. In
| the meantime note came from Mr..
| Oyerend saying that Mr. Scott said we
! need not appear at court that day;
/ said he supposed the reason Mr. Scott
said not that day was because it was
| steamer day. Miss Mullenger confessed
| to us many awful thinos that she had
! told to the men (Scott, Clark, Over
| end. Driver and Curts). She said that
she said very little to Mr.. Curtis. She
told us many things that she had said
TO the others. Some things I told her
of and asked her if she had told them.
She said yes: said that she had talked
so much to them that she could not
remember what she said They are
both sorry for what they did, but they
have no idea seemingly of the enormity
of their sins. The worst thing of all
that Miss Mullenger did was to de-
fame the character of one of us. When
asked why she did it she said she had
no reason for it and did not know whv
she did it.
Saturday afternoon she tod me that
she wanted to go to the men and tell
them the truth and take back what she
had said. | told her that when she
went l would 90 with her. Saturday
night she asked me Ii l would not 90
with her Sunday morning to Mr.. Over
end. I told her I'd pray to know what
to do. Sunday morning I told her l
thought she would better write a note
to Mr.. Overend, telling him to come
here to see her. l sent the note and
told Miss Mullenger and Miss Olsen
that they would better make memo
randum of what they wanted to ex-
plain to Mr.. Overend. He called in
the afternoon. She told him that she
had misrepresented to him; that she
had not been herself-had been pos
sessed by some other power | don t
know just how she put it. But he kept
complimenting her and trying to show
her that the things she had said were
not bad as she thought they were. He
kept saying. he must go; that he had
nothing to do in the matter; that it
was All in Mr.. Scott s hands.
I did some talking to Mr.. Overend
while he was here. I told him that I
should not think Mr.. Scott would dare
bring the charges that he had set forth
in his guardianship appeal against me.
said 1 should think he would be
afraid of my brother in California or
of some of my friends in Honolulu
bringing suit against him for black
mailing me. I said his article was very
cleverly worded, and that he perhaps
thought he was keeping himself out of
danger. He said he would send Mr..
Scott. Monday morning Mr.. Scott and
Mr.. Clark came. Miss Mullenger
brought them to my room. I had six
or seven fat Hawaiian and japanese
girls in my room; | was helping them
with some sewing. / brought the men
in and excused the girls.
\ Miss Mullenger proceeded to tell
them that she had wronged me-that
she had misrepresented me to them.
/ started to say something once, and
their attitude caused me to say "excuse
me for saying anything" Once when
Judge Clark was telling Miss Mullen
ger of something she said about me Ga
thing which she had not told me about
and which I had not heard of or
thought of L said that's a lie." Judge
Clark Immediately told me to hush.
I obeyed. They talked much to Miss
Mullenger. First Scott talked to her
long time and then Clark did the same.
Scott asked her if she knew what per-
jury was. She said yes. He said
that's almost what you are doing. His
words implied that he believed she
told the truth to him the first time and
that what she was saying to him then
she was saying because l, in some
way, was compelling her to. Scott
said that he wanted to see Miss Olsen,
and that he wanted to see her and Miss
MuIlenger together without me. They
started to go, presumably to tnd MISS
Olsen and to get away from me-
said sit still; Til go out and send
boy for Miss Olsen. 1 went in the
second room from where they were.

a storm that l stepped out on the We
randa, and I heard Judge Clark say
to Miss Mullenger, "either you lied the
first time you talked to me or you are
lying today" 1 went back and heard
no more. After they had gone I told
Miss Olsen what l had heard and ask
ed her what conclusion they came to.
She said, [ think when they left they
thought Miss Mullenger had told the
truth the first time and was lying
that time,
While 1 was in the room Miss Null
lenger asked Mr.. Scott if we had to
go to court when he said for US to. He
said yes. When asked what they
would do if we did not go, he said
they would send a policeman. When
asked what they would do if we did
not go then, he said we would be
pretty likely to go. When asked if
the offense would be the same as if
court was in session, he said yes, this
is court"
