WIFE TO RESCUE

statement to the Advertiser from
which the Advertiser could have gain
ed any information, correct or other
wise, of his administering morphine
or choral to Atcherley to soothe him
in Jail
Dr. Emerson will make no state
ment other than the above quoted.
Mrs. AtcherleX further protests that
DR.. Atcherley has not been addicted to
the drug habit; that Wayson is him
self responsible for Atcherley ever
having taken morphine. She says that
between 1897 and 1901, Atcherley had
an abscess in his side and was under
Wayson's treatment, that Waysons
method of cure was shipping, snip
ping, shipping" and giving morphine,
and that finally Atcherley, after pay
ing Wayson S400, operated on himself
and within a week was around and
about. Mrs. Atcherley even blames
Wayson for her husband ever taking
morphine, and declares that of late he
had not taken the drug.
Mrs. Atcherley goes on to say that
about two weeks ago Atcherley and
Wayson had "a fight" at the Kalihi
leper receiving station; that Wayson
went up to her husband and declared
himself to be a friend of Atcherleys;
that Atcherley resented it and there

lady urges that the leper patients at
Kalihi had refused further treatment
at the hands Of Brinckerhoff, the Fed
eral expert, and Wayson, and wanted
Wayson, and that for this reason, to
her imagination, they all have it in
for Atcherley.
Beyond the statements of Mrs. At
cherley, who is very much worked up
over what she terms the wholesale
persecution of her husband, the facts
are that DR.. Atcherley was early yes
terday morning arrested by Bicycle
Patrolman Anderson just after Atch-
erley had fired a number of shots in
the direction of Wayson's house, ana
that Atcherley is being held for in
vestigation as to the condition of his
mind.
Atcherley's story at the police sta
ton was very incoherent; he said that
Wayson had stolen his secrets and
should be punished.
Both DR.. Wayson and his wife have
been bothered for several nights by
shots ringing out in the vicinity of
their home; they believed at first that
there was shooting going on at the
rifle range in the rear of their place.
They got used to the sounds and paid
little attention to the noise. DR.. Way
son was called up from the police sta
ton at o'clock yesterday morning
and informed of Atcherley's arrest for
emptying a 32-caliber Colts at Way
sons house. 1t seems that the shoot
ing at Wayson's house has not been
confined to one nights work. One
bullet went through a front window
of the Wayson Office and landed in a
door. Shots had been fired from sew
eral angles and the appearance is that
the man who fired the shots was seek
ing to land bullet in hopes of hitting
somebody. Three bullets were embed
ded in the exterior of the house Po-
liceman Anderson, who saw the flash
es of yesterday mornings shots, saw
Atcherley running, in a crouching po-
sition, firing at the Wayson home.
Mrs. Atcherley says that her hus-
land has told her that Policeman An
derson went up to him and asked who
fired the shots and Atcherley replied
that he had fired them.
One supposition is that Atcherley
has been brooding over wrongs, i'm
aginary or otherwise, and believed
that Wayson was responsible and At
cherley wanted vengeance. Morphine
is advanced as the probable argument
which will explain Atcherley's ac-
lions.
Atcherley, when booked at the sta
ton, declared Wayson had stolen his
leprosy cure.
About month ago Atcherley enter
I'd the police station and asked Re-
ceiving Clerk Fred Iaukea if Wayson
was locked up, and when told that
Wayson was free and that there was
no known reason why he should be
locked up, Atcherley told Iaukea that
Wayson had stolen his leprosy cure
and should be punished. Iaukea re-
ferred him to Chief of Detectives Jack
Kalakiela.
Atcherley, who was identified with
Doctor" Wallach, who claimed to
have cure for leprosy, appears to
have been putting himself in the posi-
tion of martyr ever since the Wal
ZACH laurels were supposed to have
fallen on Atcherley. Wayson, who
has had considerable success in his
own treatment of leprous patients, de-
| clares that his medicine is the resuIa
