FIVE MONTHS IN JAIL
FOR MATE CARlSEN

Second Mate Fred Carlsen, of the
bark h. P. Rithet, who vented his
spleen against First Mate Erricksen
of the same vessel by knocking him
down and then kicking him, was SEN
tenced to serve five months in Jail by
Judge Andrade yesterday morning. 1t
was only yesterday morning that Err
ricksen was discharged from the
Queen s Hospital, as the result of
Carlsen's assault.
Carlson worked off a drunken grudge
against the whole world in general
one morning not long ago, by repair
ing to the quarter deck Of the r. p.
Rithet and proceeding to maui the
features of the executive. He had so
little provocation for the assault that
the Judge handed him within one
month of The maximum penalty for his
offense.

the events referred to had been shown.
OF course, the motion was overruled
and Lightfoot took the usual excep-
tion. Lightfoot then, by references,
tried to work into the record the re.
fsult of the riot trial but was overruled
ON objection by Kinney.
Henry on Stand
High Sheriff Henry was called to the
stand by the prosecution. Lightfoot
objected to his being allowed to testify
as he had been sitting in the court
room listening to the testimony of the
other witnesses, contrary to the pre-.
viOus ruling of the court. The Obiec-
| tion was overruled and the High Sheriff
allowed to testify. He simply made a
statement about how he was called
down to Waipahu on the night of the
riot and arrived there in an autOmOb bile,
| 10 find Scoville and Wills in the head
| quarters of the strikers with their prs
| oner and big crowd of noisy and bel
| ligerent japanese surrounding the build
| ing. He went in and took charge of
| the prisoner, Jotaro, and as they drove
away in the machine, he heard missiles
thrown by the strikers flying over his
head.
Mr.. Sheba was recalled by the pros
ecution to identify his translations of
| the posters pasted in and on the Wal
pnhu strike headquarters and to tes'
tifv to their accuracy, which he did.
Lightfoot, who apparently knew Just
what witnesses the prosecution had on
hand, forbore to cross.examine, and
then, with grin, turned to Kinney
and told him TO bring on his next wit
ness. Mr.. Kinney, glancing anxiously
at the clock. which marked 1910, was
obliged to confess that he had no more
witnesses on hand and that he was
afraid that, despite the judges obiec-
tion to quitting before 1890, he would
have TO stop for the day,
Embarrassing Moment.
Lightfoot suggested that Mr.. Prosser
might be called and Kinney took him
up and put Prosser ON the stand. Pros
ser, in response to questions by Kin
ney identified Kawamura, one of the
defendants, and stated that Kawamurn
AT his request had marked a file of Jijis
with blue pencil as TO the names of the
writers of the various articles in the
paper. The name of Aegoro, he said
appeared most frequently, The papers
were introduced in evidence.
Then Lightfoot, taking the witness
made things embarrassing for a few
moments by asking him by whom h'
was paid ProsseT hesiti,ed a moment
