 der trial, thus giving the defense in the present action much the advan- tage.
 Prosecuting Attorney Rowland of Pierce county is a lawyer of little ex- perience having been elected from a small town, and added to his mex perience in the law is the fact that he is entirely unfamiliar with the facts in the Thompson case. Will H. Thompson is a brilliant lawyer and county prosecutor during the hearing just ended.
 Another feature of the hearing for the release from the criminal insane asylum of Chester Thompson that has led to many strictures on the law and on expert testimony in particular, is the fact that the very physicians who at the murder trial testified un- der oath that young Thompson was suffering from an incurablc form of insanity, at the present hearing de clared that he has completely rccov- cred his reason and his health. These. physicians, in their original tcsti- mony fiatly contradictcd the expert opinion of the witnesses for the state, some of the latter being among the | most prominent alicnStS in the cOun- | try, and the jurors swayed out of l reason by the eloqucncc of Will II. fHhnO lt ;, quittal.
 The crime of Chester Thompson was | one of the most atrOciouS and un- | called for committed in King county. For years the youth had been infa tuated With Miss Charlotte Whitlescy, niece of Judge Emory. Miss Whit tlasey declined to receive the young | mans attentions and on the night of July 7, 1906, he left his own home to go to that of his victim where he cx- pccted to find Miss Whittlesey.
 Judge Emory, in company with | Mrs. Emory and some friends, was sitting on the front porch when young Thompson entered the yard on the run, dashed across the porch and into 1 the hall of the Emory residence. Judge Emory, crying to Thomson to | halt, followed and was shot three times, dying the next day. After the shooting Thompson ran up stairs and entering the nursery baricaded himself, at the same time ] threatening that he would kill the Emory children and then himself if any attempt to arrest him was made. | He remained in the room until his l father arrived and induced him to | surrender.
 Thompson was tried in Pierce coun- ty on change of venue and his de- mcanor while in court gave evidence of careful schooling in the methods of l feigning that particular form of in sanity from which he was alleged to be suffering. After he was acquitted Superior Judge Shell ordered him confined in the penitentiary asylum ] for the criminal insane, this order being strongly opposed by the lads father.
 The evidence in the hearing just ended was to the effect that the youth had been become temporarily insane from long breeding accompanied by ill health and that the regular hours of his period of his confinement have made him well, both mentally and physically. His father has announced that he will take the young man to some private sanitarium in the south and remain with him until his com plctc and permanent recovery is as- surcd.

Miss Dreier Gives New Boat
Piano and Receives a
Pass. (

One OF the great attractions of the
Inter-Island Steam Navigation Com
pany's new steamship Mauna Kea is
the splendid piano which adorns the
social hall above the dining saloon.
This elegant instrument, possessing a
delightfully."- pleasing tone, an item of
the ships gear that will be a constant
source of pleasure, is the gift of Miss
Johanna Adelaide Napuanani Dreier,
through her father, August Dreier, the
following correspondence explaining
the presentation:

FLEW A KITE AS A MEANS
OF HEALTH AND RECREATION

There is no question about this pas
time taking up ones attention, and
particularly at the time of starting it
to rise. For if your attention is taken
off for a single instant, it is liable to
come down with a bang, which win
most likely spoil it, or at least destroy
its beauty. And when it is high up in
the heavens, though it does not require
so much attention, it claims it just the
same. Indeed it s source of constant
delight to watch the wonderful antics
that it is constantly cutting up. There
is not moment when it is not making
the most wonderful curves, or darting
here or there, or turning complete
somersaults, and doing it all in the
most graceful manner.
Yes, if any one wants to try new
experience, new sensation that is more
interesting and exciting than most
games, here is their chance. Some. peo-
pie think it silly for grown-ups to
spend their time in this way but it is
no sillier than many other things that
one does, and it s far more healthful.
Very truly,
