mat the death of Tanabe kunigo
the little japanese lad who died yes
terday morning early, after having been
run over by dray on King street on
the previous day, was the result of an
accident, was the verdict returned last
evening by the coroner's jury which in
vestigated the matter. From the evil
dence adduced al the inquest, it appear
ed that the lad had, with others of his
playmates, climbed on the moving dray
when the driver was not looking. The
first intimation that the latter had of
the accident was when one of the other
children who was riding on the dray
cried out that someone was hurt. Mori-
motto, the driver, Immediately stopped
his horses. and tried to place the boy
on his feet. It was soon seen, however,
that he was seriously injured and he
was taken 60 the hospital. A Chinese
who was riding towards the dray and
who saw the accident, was the most i'm
portant witness. He stated that the
lad started to step off the moving truck
and in doing so landed, directly between
the wheels, one of which passed over
his body.

Murder Charge May Be Made.
1t is probable that the police author
| tiles will enter an official charge of
murder this morning against "Waiki-
| XII the Hawaiian who is thought to
have had something to do more than
| he has yet told with the death of
Henry Wetherill, the sailor from the
American Hawaiian steamer Pleiades
who was found a short time ago lying on
a waterfront lumber pile with his head
caved in. While there is nothing more
than circumstantial evidence as yet on
which TO base the charge against
WAIKIKI this evidence is pretty
strong and is borne out by the later
| actions of the suspected man. He has
| it is said, been on the verge of telling
something to the authorities several
times since his Incarceration, but SC
far nothing more than terrific bursts
of tears and sobs have resulted.
