II Didn't Know Sheriff Ran
Prosecutor He Says in In
dictment Controversy.

The Rev. John Mcdowell. pastor of
the Park Presbyterian Church. whose
allegation that certain indictments have
been pigeon-holed in the Prosecutors
office was refuted by Second Assistant
Prosecutor Lehlbach. replied today 10
the latter. The minister said:
Il do not care to continue this dis
cussion. but | cannot refrain from
thanking Mr.. Lehlbach for giving such
extended publicity to a matter so vital
to the welfare of the community.
Il am also indebted to him for con-
firming my statement that there are in
dictments which were handed up by
the September grand jury of 1906, which
have not been tried-namely, nine police
cases and one disorderly house case.
Il did not undertake to locate the
responsibility for those untried cases,
and must confess that | am somewhat
surprised to learn from MI. Lehlbach
the responsibility for trying the
police cases rests with the sheriff's
office. | knew that the sheriff's office
had a good deal to do, but | did not
know thai it had the running of the
prosecutors office in moving indict-
ments.
wherever the responsibility rests, in
the interest of fairness to men indicted
on ex porte evidence, and in respect for
indictments by the grand Jury,
such DELAY ought not go unchallenged
by the citizens. If it does it certainly
will breed h spirit of anarchy

Editor Advertiser-It is a pleasure

splendid news service of the morning

lures are of great value. The letters from
the special correspondent in Japan have
given new views of this Empire which
ARE of deep interest. The condensed
news of the world, which is to be
regular service after the arrival of the
Coast mails, will supply a constant need
of busy readers. The firm stand for
that which is really pro bono publico
must appeal to every true citizen of
Honolulu. This city can well be proud
of its morning press, which is not equal
ed in many much larger places on the
mainland. The excellent service of the
Advertiser is much appreciated by the
