MYSTERY IN
PAlNTER'SDEAIH
Wood Alcohol Poisoning
Cause, Thinks "
Physician
Especial Correspondcnce.)

HILo. Aug. during the past
week Deputy Sheriff Fettcr has been
looking into the matter of the death
of James Puuloa, a painter, who died
at Pepeekeo as result of wood alec.
hol poisoning.
Puuloa was working for Harris.
the master painter. at Pepcekeo. and
it appears that he wanted bit of
liquor for a Saturday night recrea
tioT. As far rs the police have been
able TO find out. he sent for some
wine through some Chinese, and this
he drank, as well as some Scotch
whiskeyg-whiCh was brought to 1.-The
house by a couple OF Scotchmen.
While both Puuloa and his wife
drank of the wine, Puuloa drank
most of It, and as the scotchmen
stuck to the product of their home
sod a!!i as they did not suffer any
after effects, II appears that the wine
was the cause Of the trouble, espe.
cially as Mrs. Puuloa Is positive that
between the time when her husband
drank the wine and the following
Monday, when he was taken Ill, he
did not drink any other liquor.
In the meantime DR.. Irwin. who
handled the case. de lares that the
symptoms Indicated strongly that the
man was suffering from wood .alco-
hol poisoning. He became blind and
suffered acutely before he died on
the following. Thursday.
The fact that 1t is a fairly COM
mon thing for painters, who have to
use wood alcohol In their work, be-
come addicted to the use of the drug
in moderate quantities. as well as the
fact that 1t IL not plausible that any
ore should adulterate cheap wine
with wood-alcOhol, as the latter Is
more expensive than the wine. leads
many who are familiar with the facts
OF the case TO believe that Puulol
manner and drank It without his wife
having any knowledge of II. On
the other hard, Mr.. Harris states that
there was no wood alcohol among the
supplies at hand for the Pepeekeo
job, as II was not required for the
kind of work which was being done.
Puuloa was known TO be a steady
workman. lie drank occasionally,
but he had never let drink interfere
with his work. lie leaves widow.

by the Marshal. 80.
The check from the benevolent so.
ciety TO Garcia amounted to thirteen
dollars and was dated December 2,
II was cashed within few days from
the time II was received by him at
the same time as he paid the money
to Patterson on the other check.
Attorney Prosser appeared at the
hearing for Patterson and United
States Attorney Breckons appeared
for the Government.
Prosser made strong fight to
show that a charge of forgery could
not be laid against his client for the
reason that he had witness,d Dae
signature of Garcia on the check.
Breckons, however, commended thai
he was guilty of passing the check
on when he knew II TO be worthless,
He had turned II in as cash after he
had been paid the money by Garcia,
and all this time he had the twenty.
eight seventy in his possession.
The prosecutor held that II the gov
eminent had not become aware that
the check had never been received
by the man at Waialua that Patter-
son would have kept it as his own.
He also held that Patterson had seen
Garcia in the store and Eost Office

in payment for witness fees he should
have known that there was some mis-
takes as Garcia had not been in Ho.
