Will File No Brief.

Meantime Parsons has written to
Attorney Lindsay. asking him
to file brief. After going over the
records in the case, Lindsay replied
to the Judge that the attorney general $
department did not consider that any
brief was necessary Again Parsons
wrote. asking the department TO file a
brief. and again the department re-
fused, on the ground that only ques-
tions ot fact being involved, no brief
was necessary.
Meanwhile, Carl Smith himself had
filed no brief. but finally he did file one

Lindsay could not understand it. The
brief was referred to Governor Frear,
and il meant nothing to him. Acting
on the advice Of the Governor, the at

YOU are responsible for the following
statements therein contained:
- Several years ago a dispute arose
as to the boundary line between the
land of the Pepeekeo plantation and
public lands belonging to the Territory.
The matter was adjudicated by the
boundary commission. of which Judge
Parsons was a member The decision
of the commi ssion was in favor of the
sugar company, which by that decision
acquired land worth about $4,000
which the Territory had claimed as IT.
own.
- There the matter rested until 1900
when Z. c. Peters was attorney-gen.
eral and Fred MilyertOn was his dep
uty. Milverton in going over the rec
ordS in the case became convinced that
the surveys upon which the decision of
the boundary commission was based
were crooked, and he had the case re
opened.
- But Just after it was submitted
Peters resigned as attorney general and
Milverton also resigned and left the
Territory. Apparently nobody else
followed the case. Certainly, accord
ing to Deputy Attorney-G Lv-
mer, no decision was ever rendered by
Judge Parsons, before whom the case
was tried-the same Parsons who was
q member of the boundary commission
that awarded the lands to the sugar
company

sioner. though Parsons had previously
been attorney for the defendant com
Dany. The evidence was submitted, the
case argued, and the cause brought up
to the point Of q decision. At that
jnncture. according to a statement made
by Attoruey-General Lindsay yesteT-
dav. Carl Smith, attorney for the Pc
peekeo Sugar Company. moved that the
parties to the suit be allowed to file
briefs. The copy Of the record now in
the possession of the attorney general
shows that Deputy Attorney-General
Nilverton, who then appeared for the
Territory. made the statement that. a>
only question Of fact and not Of law
was involved. the Territory did not de-
sire to file any brief. Carl Smith. how
ever. was granted time in which to file
a brief.
That was on October 9, 1906, vet
Carl Smith did not file any brief until
a few DAYS ago. after the controversy
started bv The Advertiser article, was
begun. The Territory. having no rea-
son for filing a brief. did not file one.
Lindsay's Statement.
Yesterday. Attorney General Lind
say made the following statement:
1.-The fact of the matter is that, IN
the year 1906, a case was tried before
Parsons as boundary commissioner. IN
voIving the title to the land of Kahua
II, district of Hilo. The record in the
case shows that at the end Carl Smith
made a motion that the attorneys be
allowed to file briefs. Mr.. Milverton,
who represented the Territory, made
the statement that the Territory had
no desire to file a brief Time how
ever. was given Carl Smith to file a
brief That was four years ago
When the matter came TO Mr.. Ly-
mers attention. he had only the rec
ord to rely upon. The facts, as they
appear to us, are that the case was
argued before Judge Parsons four
year. ago, and there has been no deci-
sion rendered yet. This Is looked upon
as very strange-t0 say the least.
E'Mr. Milverton. who handled the
case for the Territory, says that at the
end of the argument. Carl Smith asked
leave to file a brief. Mr.. MilvertOn
contended that there was no neces,
sity for a brief, that it was simply a
