HARRIS REPORT
ON BRECKONS.
THAT THE INVESTIGATOR sUsTAINs THE
: DISTRICT ATTORNEY AGAINST CHARGES BROUGHT
W. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. COMPLETE DECLINES
TO MAKE STATEMENT RE GARDING HIS CONCLUSIONS

ably spend a week or so in San Fran
cisco where this work will be done ana
the report will then be forwarded to
Washington, as | shall not go directly
there myself.
You wish to know about that ar
ticle in the Advertiser this morning?
In regard to its truth. | cainot say,
as | have not been in Washington
enough of late to know what feeling
exists. About the local feeling, and
the idea expressed that the sentiment
in this city is entirely against Mr.
Breckons? No | cannot say that l
have found that to be the case in this
city. There is naturally a division of
opinion and the feeling has not ap-
peared to me to be by any means una
nimous against Mr.. Breckons."
The street talk this morning was as
spoken of above. in a very widely
spread report to the effect that Brec-
kcns was exonerated completely in the
opinion of the investigator. Some of
the charges were so ridiculous as to be
dropped from consideration without
delay. If the truth of the fact that
Breckons smokes cigarettes would
mean that he should be removed there
would be a general cleaning up of the
heads of practically all the Territorial
departments.
One charge was that in the Within
divorce suit Breckons, who represented
the husband, and +. A. Douthitt, who
represented the wife, were in collusion.
The libel was brought by the wife on
charges of habitual intemperance.
Those who knew the couple, and they
were very well known in this city,
were perfectly aware of the truth of
this charge and Of many others which
might have been made. There was not
the slightest necessity of collusion,
for on the showing made by the libel
liant a divorce was certain to be grant
ed by the Judge sitting in the case.
Again it was charged that Douthitt,
when County Attorney, nolle pressed
criminal cases at the request of BreC-
kons This is characterized by both
Douthitt and his deputies at that time
as an unqualified malicious and false
statement Many of the other charges
have been absolutely unsupported by
witnesses here while many of the mat
ters called in question were acted on
only after consultation with Washing
ton, a fact which Rev. E. W. Thwing
was not and probably is not cognizant
of, as the records and private cores
pondence of the District Attorneys Of
flee were not open to his perusal.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-11-14

While Special Attorney Harr, sent to
this city to investigate the charges
made against U. S. District Attorney
Breckons by E. w. Thwing, refuses to
make any statement in regard to his
report for publication the general OPT
nion, and one which has the strongest
of backing is that the charges have
been found to be gToundless. In cases
where the matters have looked on the
surface as though there might be some
foundation in fact it is stated by wit
nesses whom Mr.. Harr has interview
ed that the matters have been settled.
One man, whom Thwing quoted in
a very strong manner as saying that he
believed Breckons was crooked, told
Star reporter this morning that he had
been seen by Mr.. Harr and questioned.
He was very indignant over the mat
ter. He mentioned a certain state
ment which Thwing quoted him as
making in the charges and said that he
had given Mr.. Harr a written letter
stating that the words so attributed to
him were a complete fabrication from
beginning to end.
Other witnesses whom Mr.. Harr had
seen turned out to have given no testi-
mony of any kind against Mr.. Brec-
kons, but to have simply made state
ments to the effect that if certain
| things which the charges accused Mr. q.
| Breckons of were true he should be
removed. This idea was changed in
the charges to say that the men in
question beliveed that ithe charges
were true.
The statement made by Thwing to
reporters in which he asserted that the
Governors office leaked is given as an
instance of the manner in which Mr.
/ Thwing brought accusations. In this
case, upon his belief, which turned out
to be entirely incorrect, he accused
Chief Clerk Conkling, Secretary Mott
! Smith, Governor Frear, or some sub
! ordinate of an offense which would GER
tainly have caused the removal of any
clerk in the Office and of much trouble
! for any official.
Mr.. Breckons absolutely refuses to
say anything. He states that the mat
ter is in the hands of the department
and that he has nothing to talk of till
he has heard from Washington.
When seen this morning Mr.. Harr
said:
mo, I am unable to give you any
information in regard to my report.

leave on the steamer tomorrow. My
report is not yet written. l shall prob
