HIS HOUSE NOW
BLOCKS ROAD
Hods0n Wants W0IterS to Move
His Dwelling Off Public
Highway.

The Injunction proceeding, brought
bv A. Hodson against William wolters
was taken up before Judge Lindsay
yesterday continuing throughout the
day. Thompson & Clemens appear for
the compliments and w. w. Thayer
for the defendant.
In this case the complainant, who
associates his wife with him in the
complaint, alleges that Wolters has
built a house across one of the streets
in the Kapahulu Tract, the street upon
which he, the complainant, lives, thus
shutting off egress to his property. He
asks the court to enjoin Wolters from
thus squatting on the public highway
and to order him to move the build
ings as misplaced.
AS the road has not been taken over
by the Territory, the carrying out OF
the injunction proceedings devolves on
the private parties interested.
This was the only matter before
Judge Lindsay yesterday and the case
will probably take two or three days
for hearing.
KOKI CASE ABOUT ENDED.
The defence in the Koki postcffice
embezzlement case, which has been
dragging through the Federal Court,
rested yesterday, after putting on two
final witnesses in the morning. These
were George Bell and William Kama
ana, to prove the ownership of a piece
of land and the realty interests held
by the defendant at Waimea.
The prosecution summoned Edwin
Paris, in rebuttal, to show that the
standing of Koki financially was NOS
strong. Here the prosecution rested.
The attorney for the defence, w. A.
Kinney move that all the books and
documents filed be struck from the
records, but the motion was denied, as
was also his motion to strike out all
references to the amount of money the
defendant had on deposit in the Homo
lulu banks.
The Jury was excused from attend
ance during the afternoon, when argu-
ment on the instructions to be given
was had. The instructions will be read
to the jurors this morning and the
matter will be left in their hands.
Yesterday all the witnesses were
paid off.
