KILLED WIFE &
HER COMPANION
DOUBLE MURDER ON SATURDAY
NIGHT Ar KAlLUA-THE AvCUs-
ED lN COURT THIS MORNING.

Hawaiian named Makai Kamaka shi,
and killed another Hawaiian named
Louis AXE and afterv arus murdered
his wife Melo nanamakai, Boy cutting
her throat This terrible tragedy oc-
CURED on Saturday evening at Kailua
during a carousal which took place i'm
one of the small settlements Of the dis
rict.
The first intimation received by the
police OF the dual murder was the APP
pearance of Kamaka at the police sta
ton, with ,he astounding intelligence
that he had committed the crime The
recital Of the story of horror was re-
ceived by the police with incredulity,
even though the bloodstained garment
of the self-confessed murderer to some
extent bore out the tale he recited. But
the doubts which existed in the minds
of the police did not linger long, as a
telephone call to Kailua confirmed the
story of the murderer.
It was early on Sunday morning that
Kamaka presented himself at the po-
lice station and a few hours later,
Chief McDu1ie, Deputy Sheriff Rose
and DR.. Emerson, together with the
prisoner, were speeding along to the
scene of the tragedy in fast automo-
bile. The dead bodies of the accus-
eds wife and her lover were found as
indicated by the accused, the mans
chest and abdomen being riddled with
pellets, while the womn's throat
showed a huge gaping wound extend
ing from ear to ear.
Kamaka was calm as he viewed the
dedly result of his work, and he UNI
deadly result of his work, and he un-
concern. He had been drinking with
a number of his boon companions dur
ing the evening but was not drunk.
His suspicious of his wife were aBOus-
ed by seeing her depart from the
house in which they were merry-mak-
ing, in company with Louis AXE, but
he permitted them to depart without
word, though later on he went to
the door and called to his wife. No
answer was vouchsafed him and with
several others who were in the house
he instituted a search for his missing
spouse.
A visit to Axes house and to his
own home failed to find either of the
continued until the couple were found
together at the house wherein all had
been imbibing. Kamaka FASTENED back
to his own home and procured a dou-
ble-barreled shot gun, and with muir
derous intent he approached the house
again. But AXE had disappeared and
his wife was lying on the ground, pre-
tending to be under the influence of
drink Kamaka did not believe his
wife was drunk, but he crouched in
the adjacent bushes and awaited de-
velopments, convinced that AXE would
soon return to the woman. And SO it
proved After waiting some little
time Kamaka made out AXE approach
ing, and when he had got well within
range of the gun, Kamaka challenged

tional guard officers at Fort Shafter,
has been invited to tell what he knows
about the workings of this influence
and the edifying results it has had
elsewhere.
A Hawaiian boy, eleven years old,
sustained a wound to his head Satur-
day evening in a most mysterious
manner. The lad was playing in
Punchbowl street, when he suddenly
complained of being struck on the
head. His mother examined him and
found blood oozing from a wound on
from a wound on the scalp but there
the scalp but there was nothing to
show how it happened. The lad did
not fall down and the wound did not
seem to have been done with bullet.
The Territorial Board of Immigra-
ton will soon open an Office at Mer-
chant and Alakea, on the. mauka- Wal
Iiki corner. Doctor Clark will then
take up his duties. The new office
will be available for the immigrant

landing here and might want advice.
