DETAILS OF JAP
STABBING AFFAIR

The details leading up to the stab
bling by Matsube Matsuoka of Full
kawa. the notorious japanese gambler
| at Waipahu. on Tuesday. reached the
police in this city yesterday evening.
It appears that some three or four
months ago Matsube loaned Fujikawa
twenty dollars, and since that time
had asked for the return of the money
half a dozen times or SO. Each time
that Matsube asked for the money Flu
jikawa either threatened to beat or did
give him a beating.
On Tuesday. before going to Full
kawa to make another demand for the
money, Matsube prepared himself for
the fray by sharpening a cook-knife
and putting it in his pocket When he
reached Camp No. on Waipahu plan
tation, he went to Fujikawa and made
his demand. Fujikawa became very
angry and proceeded to beat Matsube
over the head with pair of Japanese
wooden shoes. When the shoes were
splintered he finished by kicking Ma
sube into ditch.
Matsube, on getting to his feet, Crap
pied and, drawing the knife, stabbed
Fujikawa in the left side of the alb
domen, infiicting wound that viii
probably result in death.
Matsube Matsuoka is a respectable
Japanese of a quiet and peaceful ma
ture; he is married and has two chill
dren. On the other hand, Fujikawa is
a known bad man, blackmailer and
allround crook.
