Candies, and Wetherill together at
Mary MeCandless' place shortly before
twelve clock Monday night, thus cor
relocating the evidence given by sew
eral others. " Waikiki lied like a
trooper when he was first put on the
stand, denying anything and everything
that would have a tendency to connect
him with the case. He first stated that
he had not seen Wetherill, MeCand-
less, or Cummings since last Saturday.
the day the Pleiades arrived in port,
and denied that he knew Mary Me
Candless or any Of the women who re
side in her neighborhood. Through
some very clever cross examination,
Milverton finally got the witness to
make number OF contradictions Of his
previous statements, and finally put
him in such a position that he could
scarcely do other than tell the truth.
The last story told by waikiki, !"
and without doubt the true one. was
to the effect that on Monday evening
he had met George Harbottle and Dan
Kaai, and, after the three had con-
sumed a bottle of gin in Aala Park and
had couple Of drinks at a saloon,
they went up to the place of abode of
Mary McCandless. Here they found
select congregation, those whose names
have been mentioned before in the tes-
timony of the other witnesses who were
present on that evening.
Waikiki testified that he and
George Harbottle had row over the
Z" drinks they having taken couple
of bottles of palmtree to the house
with them, and that one of the women
told him he would have TO leave the
place, his noise being too much to be
borne. This was about half-past eleven
in the evening. Waikiki left the
room and went downstairs, where he
met Cummings and McCandless on the
sidewalk George Harbottle also came
down. but Wetherill stood at the head
OF the stairs After a short eonversa-~
tion with Cummings and McCandless,
with whom he was acquainted, tWai-
kiki' said goodnight and started for
his home Before he left, however, he
saw the three sailors, Wetherill, e
Candies, and Cummings, go into Mafy
McCandless' room. This was a short
while before midnight. This evidence
has been eoneurred in by every witness
who was present that night, save Cum
mings. vet the latter and McCandless
state that they left Wetherill Monday
evening not later than ten-thirty.
Mounted Police officer Trip was the
first witness called last evening. his
testimony bearing out that of his
brother officer. Meek. who was on the
stand Wednesday night. officers KEEL
lett and Clark testified that they saw
three. Cummings. McCandless and
wetherill. get on the King street car
bound Palama- way at about eleven
o'clock Monday evening. They were
then somewhat under The influence of
liquor.

Pleiades. was recalled for the pur-
pose of Strengthening cut some minor
points in the testimony he had given
before. Police Officer Leonard Par
IRISH identified the scantling with
which the blow on Wetheriifs head
had evidently been made. He stated
that, near wetherilIs head on the
right hand side, shoe print was
noticed in the soft soil 1t seemed

Candies and Cummings stated that
they had left Wetheriil the previous
night before eleven o'clock in Japa-

saloon. It developed last night that
there is no ice cream parlor there.
