JURY VERDICT
ISFOR CASTLE

At late hour last night the jury,
who had then been eight hours con-
sidering the question brou2h In a
verdict in favor of w. X. Castle In
connection with the waikiki condem-
nation case. The question before them
was that of settling the damages to
be awarded for the leasehold interest
in the land to he condemned by the
United States for the extension Of
Fort De Russy
They divided their verdict into three
parts. the first OF which was merely
the fact that Miss Amy Helene
Thompson had no interest in the land
at Waikiki, sought TO be condemned.
The findings for Castle as trustee
for Kanakanui were as follows:
"A--For leasehold interest and that
part of the land to be condemned In
a line southerly of Kalia road and ex-
tending to the sea, exclusive of the
improvements thereon, the sum Of
$4,000
"B--For the improvements on the
last mentioned portion Of the premises
sought to he condemned in the sum Of
$4,000"
II was stated this morning that
out of this amount would have to
come the rent at the rate of $3.50 per
annum for the nine years the lease
has 10 run. The total damages claim
ed were s16.3SO.
Personal Fight.
The arguments put up yesterday
for both sides of the case resulted
in more or less of personal fight.
District Attorney Breckons was very
severe In some OF his comments up
on w. X. Castle and declared the
latter's claims to be extravagant and
absurd. Alfred Castle. who was de-
tending his father denied the allega-
ton and said that Breckons was In
spired by personal enmity.
The difference In the manner In
which the addresses was made was
very striking. Castle stood before the
jury and spoke to them in an ordin.
airy conversational tone. while Brec.
kons could he heard over at the Board
of Health building as he Numbered
forth his denuncations
Estravagant and Absurd.
Breckons declared that the lease
hold was not only not o money-mak
ing proposition but was in fact ;
real burden.
As to the improvements he declar
ed that Castle had never spent dol
lar and that every cent the jury CAV,
for this item would be clear profit

Prison Air Purer Than In Hospital.

Governor Osborn has received
a copy of a letter from c. l..
Wernicke, member of the board Of
control of Jackson prison. and the
original of which was sent to Warden
Simpson of the prison. In his letter
Mr.. Wernicke says:
II was glad to note the report COW
ering the examination of the air In the
cell blocks, from which 1t appears that
the east block Is no worse than the
west block, and that the conditions In
both blocks can be improved by prop
er attention to ventilation by way OF
the windows. am specially gratified
to find that the average conditions In
both blocks shows the air to be better
than In certain university buildings,
including the nurses hospital.
THE bacteria In the air differ wide
ly in different cells in both blocks, and
are governed almost entirely by the
degree of cleanliness maintained.
This Is a matter entirely within your
control, and should have careful at,
tention from time to time.
"On the whole, this report abso-
lutely disproves. SO far as hygienic
conditions are concerned. the clamor
and unfavorable publicity which has
been going the rounds of the press
and which has agftated the minds of
good people all over the state, and
reduces the matter Of just criticism
solely to the size of the cells them
selves, which are admittedly small.
II your calculations and experiments
recently undertaken, whereby two
cells are made into one, prove to be
feasible, this last criticism can also
be overcome"
