In the County Attorneys Office he
told the particulars of his arrest to
Adachi, who left him and went into
the inner, private office of John w.
Cathcart, remaining there short
while. When he came out he told hu-
mano that his case would be all
right and that it would cost hlm
thirty dollars. Humane stated that he
had already paid Sims five dollars and
asked if less could not be taken. FL
na1ly he was told that if he would pay
twenty-five dollars he would have the
case against him fixed so that he
would not have to face a trial.
Humane, who is one of the most re-
spectacle japanese in Honolulu, who
is married to a respectable Portuguese
woman and who has a family of small
children living in one of the best
houses on the Punchbowl slope, agreed
to the price rather than face trial
and the disgrace that would come from
being tried on such charge He had
good defense, being under the infiu-
ence of liquor at the time he took an
other bicycle thinking it was one he
had left in the place of his own.
His case had been continued until
October %. That day he came into
court, answered to his name and with

he wanted to consult me, not in pro-
fessiona1 way, but concerning state
of affairs that disturbed him very much
He asked me if I had ever heard
anything against Mr.. Cathcart s integri-
ty. He then said that it looked as
though Cathcart might be dangerous
man; that he had made a blackmailing
proposition to the Kapiolani Estate;
and then repeated to me the substance
of the charge already published and
certified to by J. F. Colburn, to the
effect that Mr.. Cathcart had informed
Colburn, managing director of the es-
tate, that the government had claim
for $4,000 for inheritance tax, against
the estate, but would be guaranteed
immunity from suit for the same upon
payment of $1,000 to J. J. Dunno.
I said to Mr.. Kinney, cit u be.
II cannot believe it possible that man
of Cathcart s standing and with the
Recommendation that he brought to me,
can be guilty of such thing

Truth.
Mr.. Kinney replied, ''Tf you had seen
Colburn, as he came hot-foor TO my Of

In view of the present status of the
case of John w. Catheart, candidate for
County Attorney, feel that there is
due to the voters of the Island of Oa-
hu, and to myself, full and complete
statement of the relations heretofore
existing between myself and Mr.. Cath
cart; why [ did not oppose him at the
election of two years ago and why |
oppose his election now.
First Acquaintance with Cathcart.
I first knew Mr.. Cathcart through his
presenting letter of introduction from
Cushman K. Davis, Senator from Min
nesota, stating that he had been in the
latter s Office, and asking me to do what
/ could to assist him.
Senator Davis had been chairman Of
the Foreign Relations Committee of the
Senate during my residence at Wash
ington, D. c., in 1897 and 1898, and I
felt under the deepest obligations to
him for the kindly treatment and many
professional favors done me, both per-
sonally and in connection with the
public business which I was then at
tending TO.
Conversation with Mr.. Cathcart con-
vinced me of his ability and his ad-
dress was good
[ did what I could to get him busi-
ness and finally personally sought for
him the position of Assistant Attorney
General, and have reason to believe that
he was appointed to such position on
nv recommendation. He has acknowl-
edged as much to me. I have never
had any personal differences with Mr..
Cathcart. His treatment of me has al
ways been kindly and courteous. l
have no personal feeling against. him.
