Jury SWORN
TO TRY KOKI
MANY CHALLENGES EXERCISED
WITH WARM TILTS BETWEEN
THE OPPOSING LAWYERS.

The trial of Moses Koki, who is
alleged to have robbed the United
States mails, while acting as the post
master at Kamuela, was commenced
this morning in the Federal court,
L. S. District Attorney BreckOns, rep
resenting the government, assisted by
w. T. Rawlins and Judge Stanley,
were opposed by W. A. Kinney and
M. f. Prosser, the attorneys for the
defence. The entire morning was
taken up with the selection of a jury,
the following names being finally
agreed on as satisfactory to both
sides; S. b. Rose, II. r. Macfarlane,
II. Johnson, G. G. Fuller, II. A. Giles,
S. p. Woods, +. j. Weight, Charles
Barlow, f. Il. Paxton, Arthur Coyne,
Joseph Aka and George Weight.
There was an unusual number OF
peremptory challenges on both sides,
the Government eXcusing w. c.. Will
der, John Coffee and w. w. Hall
The defence exercised its rights by
excusing f. L. Waldron, w. A. Har.
| dy, A. II. Smith, A. j. Gonsalves, j.
Nj. Riggs, e. A. r. Ross, M. Rosen-
bladt, A. b. Angus, w. r. Walker and
Henry Along.
! There was quite a tilt between the
! lawyers when W. W. Hall was Ques-
toned in regard to his qualifications
| for jury duty. A brother of the de-
| PENDANT has worked for the firm of
r. o. Hall & Son for many years and
on account of his intimate connection
/ Nit hs fa Of - tor,
would tend to prejudice his mind,
! Breckons challenged Halls name for
cause. This was not allowed by
Judge Dole, however, and he was af-
! terward excused by the prosecution.
In the questioning of the jurymen
by the defence Attorney Kinney ask
ed if they had read a story published
few days ago in the Bulletin which
| he claimed was so written as to pre-
! JUDGE the case He allowed the in
| ference to be drawn that the story
had been given to the paper by the
prosecution. To this Breckons re-
piled that he had understood from 4
newspaperman that the story came
directly from Kinney. The latter re
tOrted with some heat that he was
not yet a candidate for the madhouse
and would not hurt his clients case
in such a manner The incident was
then closed.
Two new indictments against Koki
each charging him with cutting and
tearing a mail sack, were brought be
fore the court, to which pleas of moi
lguilty were entered. The present case
is an embezzlement one, in which il
is alleged that Koh appropriated fel
Oniously to his own use over $500 Of
the money order funds of the post
Office. This crime is alleged to have
occurred in November, before the
robbery of the mail which took place
in December.
The taking of evidence in the cast
will commence this afternoon at
O'Clock and it will take many days u
hear all the witnesses who have beef
summoned

AN EXCITING
EXPERIENCE
A SAN FRANCISCO STREET CAR
CAPTURED BY DRUNKEN MAN
AT MIDNIGHT.

Mr. and Mrs H. c. Mohr, who re-
turned on the Hilonian after years
residence in Southern California, had
an exciting experience in San Fran
cisco the night before they sailed. They
had arrived there by the midnight ex-
press and boarded a Howard street
car to go to hotel, but at that Time
of night the cars were running only
every twenty minutes and there WAS
quite wait until the starting time.
They were the only passengers to
take that line Soon after they got on
board, the motorman and conductor
left the car to Igo to saloon across

platform and took charge of the car.
He evidently knew something about

more proficient. While he was VIC

to the trip, Mr.. and Mrs. Mohr hurried
ly alighted from the car, just as it
started off After preliminary start
and backing up, the drunken fellow

He swung the car out from the siding
on to the main track and was putting

OF WHO
WYOMING
BRECKONS GIVES a REMINlS-
CENCE OF DRAMATIC COURT
SCENE IN HIS HOME STATE.

When U S. District Attorney Brock
ons begins to tell of his former expert
ences in Wyoming there is generally
something interesting to be heard and
when the story of a trial in Caspar
Wyoming, was brought to his mind the
following tale was the result:
Il was in Caspar only a short time
before l left for Hawaii on some civil
business and happened to hear that
there would be an interesting eXamin-
alton on foot in the evening. It was
a case in which a man named BOney
Ernest was charged with killing a
steer. This is a very serious charge
in Wyoming and was made the more
interesting because the complaining
witness was a man named Boutwell,
who had been a leader in the lynchng
of jim Averill and Cattle Cape some
few years before
81 was waiting for train and so
dropped down TO the tOwnhall where
the trial was to be held in the evening
At the door of the court room was
stopped by the sheriff who told me
| that a rule mad been made that every
one must be searched for arms. This
| showed that there was trouble expect
ed and from the looks of the crowd IN
side | could see that it would not take
much to start some excitement The
examination soon began, and it was
noticeable that the district attorney
/ l. ho
the defence was clever, but a man full
OF bluff
| Boutwell,, the complaining witness,
was placed on the stand and testified
| to seeing the dead animal and then to-
having met Ernest, who had confessed
! that he had done the killing. Every
time that the attorney for the defence
made an objection the district aftOr-
ney. in the condition in which he was,
could not answer it and it would be
sustained by the court Boutwell, made
good witness, sitting calmly and an
swering the questions till finally it be-
came too much and he turned to Brad
ley, the defendants lawyer saying:
You know the circumstances that
you have me here under. Why can t
you give me a fair SHOVE
mo sooner were the words out of his
mouth than a big fellow in the audi
ence jumped up shouting:
That's more than you ever gave
Jim AVerill.'
'As he jumped up others followed
and started for the witness. but the
sheriff, whose name was Rice and who
was killed shortly after while trying
to arrest a man, stood in the way
With one hand raised toward the
crowd and the other on his hip pocket
he warned them back. 1t was a most
dramatic moment, but they knew that
he would protect his man and quieted
down.
Bradley, after the evidence for the
prosecution was in, moved that the
case be dismissed on the ground thai
there had been no evidence of corpu.
deficit shown, and backing up his as
sertions with an authority from the
Supreme Court which had no more t.
do with the case than a decision or
immigration. The motion was grant
ed by the court and Ernest ser free.
'It>Was expected that there would be
some trouble later in the evening, bu
Boutwell, walked around town just as
calm as you please and not a move
was made. He had asked before thu
trial to be given permission to carry
rifle but this was denied and it turned
out that it was not needed"

BEAUTIFUL GIFT.

The handsomest koa table which has
been seen in this city was placed in
the library of the Elks Club yesterday.
1t is the gift of Francis NJ. Brooks, the
Shanghai attorney, formerly of this
city, to his brother lodge members.
The koa from which the table is made
is old and carefully seasoned stock, be-
ing much darker in color than that or
dinarily seen. The grain in the TOP
is unusually fine and shows all the
many fine colors of the native wood
The table, which is eight and a hall
feet by three and a half, will be used

Detectives
TAYLOR OVERRULES AS UNNEC-
EssARY SUGGESTION, OF CHIEF
BUGGY OF SAN FRANCISCO.

Chief of Police Buggy of San Fran
cisco suggested to Chief of Detectives
Taylor of Honolulu, when the Latter
was on the Coast that it might he
well for the County of Oahu to ar
range to have a few mainland detec-
tives, familiar with well-known crooks,
in Honolulu during the visit of the big
fleet
Taylor, while approaching the sug-
gestion, thinks the carrying out hard
ly necessary and not justifying the eX-
pense, for Honolulu cannot be fed by
hundreds of thousands of simple coun-
try folk, meat for pickpockets and
other crooks, as can San Francisco.
Oahu has that advantage in being an
island. This is a small city compared
with San Francisco and the fleet will
be here only a few days, and Taylor
believes that the local police can
handle any professional crooks who
venture here to prey.
