Care of Board of Charities.

The entire supervision of the District

the engineering stage and be ready to
pass under the control of the board, as
is the Jail al present.

HOMICIDE IS HELD

John A. Mcmahon, sergeant of the
Fifth Cavalry, who shot and killed A.
N. Cederlof at Schofeld Barracks on
the evening of September %, was held
yesterday afternoon by u. S. Commits
sioner Davis to answer to an indict-
ment of the feueral grand jury, now
in session.
McMahon's hearing, which was be-
gun on Monday, was concluded yester-
day afternoon, the widow of the victim
and an eyewitness to the shooting be-
ing the chief witness examined. Mrs.
Cederlof was quite collected during
the ordeal of the hearing, and told her
story in a few words. She was not
questioned to any great extent.
Mrs. Cederlof stated that Mcmahon
had come to the front of her home
and called to his wife, who was sitting
with Mr.. Cederlof on the front lanai.
Mrs. McMahon had not answered, but
Cederlof went down to the gate and
charged Mcmahon with having insult
ed Mrs. Cederlof. Mcmahon denied
that he had, and Cederlof stated that
he had his information from two diff
ferent persons. Mcmahon thereupon
drew a revolver and fired, and, as the
wounded man fell forward across the
gate, pushed his body off onto the
ground.
1t is probable that the grand jury
Mahon within the next day or two
