GAVE HIM ROPE
AND NOT HELP
HILO BOARD OF TRADES SOLU-
TON OF THE COUNTY ATToR-
NEY PROBLEM.

HlLO, January 19-The question of
the efficiency of the County Attorneys
office formed the subject of some dis
cussion at the meeting of the Board
of Trade of Hilo last Tuesday. The
matter came before the board on a
statement by the Secretary that two of
the County Supervisors, Lyman and
Fernandez, desired to have an express
sion of opinion by the board as to the
appointment of Carl S. Smith as De-
putty County Attorney.
Richards said he believed it was ne
cessary to appoint some one, though
not on account of the amount of work
to be done. He moved that the board
do not endorse the appointment made.
Andrews said it was a question of
whether County Attorney Williams
had the legal ability to draw up in
dictments that will hold water Carl
S. Smith was generally accepted as
the leading lawyer of Hilo, he was sup
posed to be as well versed in law
as any one here. 1t was not a matter
of simply doing the County work, but
the object Of putting him in was to
have his legal advice in drawing Grim
inal indictments. At present, when
indictments are drawn, the County IS
put to the expense of hundreds OF
dollars and the whole matter is thrown
out because of some paltry flaw in
the indictment, and there was the ex-
pense of sending the case back for
rehearing. While it might very mucn
be regretted that the elected County
Attorney has not the ability that he
ought to have, the Board should care
fully consider whether, on the ground
of economy, the County should be call
ed upon to pay another man to draw
up indictments. If Deputy Attorney
is employed, it will be quite an item
for the county to pay. On the other
hand, if he is not appointed, the ex-
pense to the County might be twice as
much, on account of the plumbers made |
in the drawing of indictments.
Austin thought the question was
Does this. Board wish to see Mr.. Will
liams retained as County Attorney, or
does 1t het7 II they gave him the
assistance of the best legal talent in
HID, they would enable him to run his
Office successfully. For his part, we
would give him no assistance at ALL |
He seconded the motion.
Mckay thought that to recommend
any individual to any particular Office
would be to touch dangerously upon !
a political matter, and this should not
be political board. He was informed |
that Carl Smith was only wanted to
draw criminal indictments. In that |
case, they might have him one day |
prosecuting a murderer, and the next |
appearing against the County in a
damage suit,
FurEeauX argued that this was not |
a matter for the board to interfere in;
1t was entirely for the County Super
visOrs. 1t was a matter affecting the
taxpayers, and this board should not
endorse anything that would increase
taxation
The motion was unanimously carried,
and the Board of Trade therefore eX-
presses no official opinion as to the
wisdom or unwiBdom of giving Mr.. Will
liams efficient assistance.

If you're left alone with cooking and

You may put it down to joyful

Konohi, Konohi,
please excusee, mississy, fiend he

Hear them burning powder, louder still

Celebrating good old iKonohi.
If you get present of samshu bottle.
Or dinky little package full of tea,
Or an evil-looking mess of sweets and
pastry,
You may know them for the gifts OF
Konohi.
Konohi, Konohi.
Every blessed Chinaman out upon

Spending each his wages by very joy
full stages,
Whooping up the feast of Konohi
A week from now oh, won't there be a

In jovial Sing and dapper Wun Lung

They'll be back at the broom and exc

Corraling cash for next years Ko-

CAPTAIN HAMS
IS CONVICTED
SLAYER OF WILLIAM Il. ANNIs
is FOUND GUILTY OF
NIANsLAUGHTER.
AGED FATHER OF THE ACCUSED
BREAKS DOWN ON HEAR
ING VERDICT.

Flushing, N. Y, May IL. Captain
Peter G. Hams, Jr., tonight faces
a term of one to twenty years in
prison, despite the testimony sub
lnitted by the defense tending to-;
show insanity, having been con-
yicted late today of manslaughter
in the first degree for killing Will
liam e. Annis at the Bayside club
last August. Immediately follow
ing the conviction, Hams counsel
declared they could produce aft
davits to show that the jury was not
properly guarded upon which allie
cation a new trial will be sought.
The affidavit will be submitted Mon
lay, the time set for passing SEN
,ence and hearing any motion the
license may have. Daniel O'Reilly,
ounsel for the defense said There
was no evidence to warrant a verdict
of manslaughter. 1t should either
rave been murder in the first degree
u acquittal on the ground Of Inc
sanity. The jurors were permitted
roam about the country in an
utomobile and to go right to the.
verge of the scene Of the homicide,
which is clearly against the law:
We have aff1davits to. prove that such.
was the case also that the jurors
were permitted to leave the juris-s
fiction of the county and that they
were on government property, all
of which will be urged as sufficient
ground for setting aside the verdict
Hams stood facing the jury in a
military pose, while the foreman
read the verdict His face blanched,i
but otherwise he betrayed no emo
tions. He was taken back to JAIL.
In striking contrast was the grief
striker and aged father Of the pris-
oner. For a moment General Hams
sat dazed, then broke down and
wept. He later communicated the
verdict to his aged wife.
In the first three ballots six Of
the jurymen voted for conviction for
murder in the first degree and six
for acquittal on the ground Of in
sanity. In the fourth there was a
compromise on manslaughter Juror
Craft said that little consideration
was given the testimony Of the ex-
perts or the unwritten law.
