The Hawaiian gazette., 1909-12-31

W ule. ne ulu NOT tAlk To ner about
the manner in which he had been hurt.
He wanted to know where the haole
that struck him was and fell asleep
about four clock in the morning.
In her testimony she stated that Kai-
hue was a stevcdore and about GU
years old.
Plenty of Beer.
William Monroe, the negro who took
such prominent part in the affair, was
next called and he told remarkably
straight story which was afterwards
corroborated in every particular by the
testimony of the other witnesses. 1t
undoubtedly had great deal to do with
the verdict returned.
He states that he had met Kaihue
early in the evening about nine clock
and had drunk several glasses of beer
in a saloon. They left the saloon i'm
mediately afterwards and were about
! thirty yards from the entrance when
they met several natives and a sailor.
The sailor seems to have stayed with
the party during the entire evening
! although he did not appear during the
time of the row.
| This new party had several bottles
of beer with them and Kaihue brought
six bottles more. They went to Aala
Park to drink them and here the party
seems to have narrowed down to three
mon and three women, one of the lat
ter being Kaihue IS wife.
Kaihue left them and afterwards re-
turned and they then moved to the
other side of the park.o Altogether,
Monroe said, they drank one and half
dozen bottles of beer. The lady, said
the witness, referring to Kaihue IS wife,
cane under aIhe influence OF the liquor
and was carried home ON the back of
"another lady, The police came
around and chased them out of the
park and they repaired to Kaihue IS
1 rooms.
Then Kaihue stated that he had left
a plate and a bottle in the park and
started to go back after them. AS he
was drunk, Monroe got up and went
with him. At the head of the stairs
they met another man, Kamalu, who
was asked what he wanted by Kaihue
Kamalu answered that ''you told me
to come here" and the two began to
argue in Hawaiian. They went down
stairs and Kaihue started in to 90 for
the other and smaller of the two. Mon
roe says he grabbed him but he broke
away and in his second attempt to get
at Kamalu was stopped by Larsen,
struck, and knocked down.
Monroe described the details of the
row between the haole and the native,
they agreeing as he told them, with
those details already published and
with what Larsen afterwards said him
self Larsen struck Kaihue with his
left hand and after he was down, pick
| cd mil
him on the sidewalk. The following
part of the testimony did not bear di-
rectly on the death of Kaihue, Monroe
stating that he called the next morn
, ing and saw Kaihue sleeping on the
bed with his wife beside him and was
told by others in the next room that
the injured man was doing finely.
; The next witness called was Doctor
} Mcdonald, who performed the autopsy
He made a complete report of the con-
dition of Kaihue IS body and his state
ments exonerate the hospital authori-
ties from any negligence.
On this point his most important tes-
timony was to the effect that it was
impossible to detect the fracture and
that he was unable to do so himself
until after he had removed the top of
the skull. In his opinion the large
hemorrhage ON the opposite side of the
head from the fracture and which wa,
ascribed as the chief cause of death
did not occur at the time Kaihue was
in the hospital.
