ously wounded his wife in an attempt
to murder her. The woman, Kamaka

pital, suffering from two severe but not
necessarily fatal wounds.
The shooting occurred outside their
home, near Kamehameha ~. road, and
was witnessed by ], J. Burns, collector
for the Metropolitan Meat Market.
The woman was preparing the evening
meal, when her husband walked up to
her, seized her by the throat, and said
in Hawaiian:
"Now your life is in my hands"
Then he drew out his gun and fred
at her, the bullet blowing through the
side of her head, hardly deeper than
the skim She fell to the ground and
he fred again, the bullet taking effect
in her shoulder.
1t was only little before seven in
the evening and still light, but not
withstanding this and the fact that
there were many people near the
premises, the man walked away I'M
molested.
Not only did those who saw the shoot
ing and heard the shots make no at
tempt to stop him, but he even told u
police officer of the deed, and was per-
mitted to go with only laugh from
the officer, who was off duty and did
not feel called upon to act.
AS soon as his wife had fallen to the
ground and he had taken the final shot
at her PROSTATE body, he walked into
the home of the late Frank Harvey, on
the neighboring premises. In the room
were Mrs. Mike Harvey, Mrs. Austin,
Miss Harvey and Ed Hanapi, the police
officer, then in civilian clothes.
He walked up to the first two and
kissed them, saying, 81 have killed my
| wife. / have come to say goodbye.
l am going away now to kill myself. "
The women smelled the reek of liq-
uor on his breath.
Hanapi laughed and the man walked
outside and disappeared.
! Meanwhile the stricken woman had
cfawled fifty yards TO the home OF
David Kahooleawai, climbing over an
intervening wall and finally falling ex'
hausted on the veranda.
Here the officers found her and when
they reached her side with the stretcheI
she even tried to raise herself into it.
Two TRUSTEES took charge of her and
while the patrol whipped it's way
through the city streets to the Queen e
| Hospital, Officers Parish and Abreu
started up the stream searching for the
wouldlbe murderer.
On the way they stopped at the
house of several men further up the
stream and asked them if they had
seen Waiwaiole. They answered that
| they had; he had been seen heading VI
the stream.
Two hours later these men themselves
delivered him up to the police officers
he having lain hid in their house
while the officers were making the in
quiries. Parish and Abreu reached the
police station after the man had al
ready been taken into custody.
Deputy Rose took the man to the
scene of the shooting and started al
examination at once, the prisoner show
ing them where he had thrown his CUR

proven beyond doubt, but he viii
probably be held until the woman
either RECEIVERS or dies, before he il

shooting.
