THREE SUSPECTS ARE HELD

A knife in the hands of a Kalihi
Valley japanese was thrust into the
breast of another Japanese named Har-
ry Fukui yesterday afternoon and a fin
ishing stroke given over the head, lay
ing the scalp open for seven inches.
Both wounds were ugly and are consid-
cred dangerous. Three japanese are
held at the police station ON suspicion
of having perfect knowledge of the
manner in which Fukui came by his
wounds. Fukui is at the Queen s Hos
pital.
About half past three o'clock yes.
terday afternoon valley resident nam
ed A. l.. Perry, who is a special police
officer, saw from his house a number
of japanese running about house
some distance away across some taro
patches. He suspected trouble and
when about to leave saw Japanese
running toward his house. The Japa-
nese told the officer that one of his
countrymen had been cut by others.
Perry followed the Japanese on the run.
Some distance from the japanese house
Perry encountered coatless Nipponese
running toward him. He stopped him
and placed .him under arrest, taking
him back to the house. The japanese
wore an undershirt and trousers and
he was barefooted. The mans arms
and one foot were smeared with blood.
His face bore marks from which blood
protruded. These apparently were not
flecks of blood from another person.
On entering the house Perry found
Fukui lying on the floor, blood stream
ing from at least two wounds. One
in his head seemed particularly bad.
Perry found out who owned the place
and held him also to be taken to the
police station.
AS luck would have it, Gonsalves, the
Young auto stand chauffeur, was in the
valley and Perry sent for him. They
loaded the wounded Japanese in and
Perry took three other japanese along
as suspects. Gonsalves threw on the
high gear and maintained it nearly all
the way into town. He exceeded the
speed limit, but his mission was a
humane one, and he raced to the sta
ton, arriving there in seven and half
minutes.
