''King George ]" otherwise George
E. Giles, who proclaimed himself SOW
ereign Of Hawaii, was given a hearing
before His Honor Judge Andrade yes
terday morning, and at its conclusion
the unfortunate young man was com
mitted to the insane asylum It is
thought that with careful treatment
his mind may patch up. Young Giles
was just as certain yesterday morning
as he was the day before that he was
now the ruling monarch of the islands
and therefore entitled to the consider
alton which any crowned head should
receive At the asylum he will find
many other crowned heads and some
more cracked heads
Giles has been working as a carpen-
ter for Contractor Ouderkirk, but last
Saturday was laid off by the latter. He
did not notice that the young man
was acting queer while in his employ.
Deputy Sheriff Rose and DR.. Emer-
son both testified as to the delusion
under which the young man was suf-
fering. They told of Giles state
ments as to his plans for establishing
his government = They stated that
he was particularly strong about one
feature, and that was to eliminate ev-
erything American in the islands. DIR.
Emerson stated that the man talked
illogically and his statements were
ridiculous, enough to convince any one
that he was of unsound mind. It is
said that Giles is heavy drinker and
has been boisterous at times at his
lodging place on upper Fort street
Leaeo Got Just Dues.
Judge Andrade sentenced David Lee
leo to six months on the reef for
brutally beating a woman named Mary
Ann. 1t transpired, during the hear
ing of the case, that Leleo had locked
the woman, his wife, in room and
beat her at intervals during four days.

laid her complaint before the police.
Leleo is a man of the most violent
temper and has been arrested many
times for assault and battery and his
pet diversion is to beat women. On
Saturday last he got drunk, and going
to his home in Vineyard street beat
his wife. He locked her in room and
occasionally went in to administer ad-
ditional punishment. She was without
food or water during the time of her
Imprisonment. In passing sentence
Judge Andrade said he would like to
have the privilege of being locked up
in a room with Leleo for just an hour,
and he believed in that time he would
teach him lesson that he would new
er forget The judge gave the defend
ant severe roasting.
Flotsam and Jetsam.
Frank Grau, picked up on the streets
Tuesday night for begging, after being
released lately from prison, was given
ninety days. The only way the police
see for breaking Grau of the drink
habit is to keep him in the prison
where he can get no booze, and thus
eventually to cure him, as many men
have been likewise treated and cured
under the ministrations of High Sher-
if Henry
George Douglas was given a thirty
day sentence for beating his wife.
The beating was severe and the SEN
tence was lenient under the circum-
stances. Clarence Robinson, young
negro, failed to answer a subpoena,
and was arrested on bench warrant.
