Hirose Testifes.
This was Zenzo Hirose, President of
the Kahuku Higher Wage. Association.
He was called to testify in behalf of
the defense that there was no official
connection between the Honolulu
Higher Wage Association and the one

ness, being apparently frightened when
he found himself perched up on the
witness chair. But his testimony was
on the whole favorable to the de-
tense, except for the fact that he was
100 ready with his answers and was
not calculated to create a good i'm
preston upon jury.
Hirose testified that there was alb
solutely no connection between the
Honolulu organization and that at Ka-
huku, that the latter made no reports
to Maxine, Negoro, ct al, and receiv-
ed no orders or instructions from them.
1t did not even contribute to the funds
