License Inspector Fennell yesterday
fled three charges against each of the
two Wahiawa blind pig operators,
against whom he secured personal evil
denee las Saturday evening. The in
spector thinks he has very strong cases
against the defendants. The fact that
the inspector had been III Wahiawa on
Saturday night was discovered the next
day when the storekeepers were put
wise to the fact by certain persons
whom the inspector believed would
have no interest in the defendants. On
this account no liquor was to be sold
on Monday night when Mr. Fennen re
turned to the district with warrants
for the arrest of the two shopmen.
The first warrant was served on All
On of the combination restaurant,
butcher shop and store close to the
Wahiawa station, and the second war
rant was served on Morita, japanese
section boss, who sold the liquor to Mr..
Fennell in a shop near the roundhouse
Some people whose business takes
them to and from Wahiawa frequently
were disposed to lay the blame for the
information given the inspector TO some
of the Wahiawa residents. AS mat
ter of fact, the inspector received his
information from an entirely different
source partly through former police
officers. Some men who sided with the
booksellers were overheard by the in
spector referring to him in uncompli-
mentary terms, and Mr.. Fennell came
back with statement that if they con-
tinned to take a deep interest in pre-
venting him from carrying out his
plans he would see their employers and
have the interference lifted.
Inspector Fennel1 is to have a con
ference with Colonel Schuyler, com
nandant of the Fifth Cavalry canton
ment, on the question of liquor selling,
as far as it refers to the men of the
garrison, to ascertain the sentiment of
the military authorities on "blind
pigs
The defendants were released on
500 bail each.
