himself In the presence Of witnesses.
He stated that he had not seen these
exhibits since September % when they
were sealed in coin bag and placed
in the guartermaster safe. They we're
brought into court, still sealed yester-
dny After the cartridges were sub
mitted, the holster taken from Nc
Mahon was also offered in evidence,
but was objected to by the defense.
Last of all a partly filed box Of
cartridges was introduced by the pros
ecution, five being absent from the full
box Of twenty rounds. Witness iden-
tilted these as the box taken from Nc
I Mahon.
MRS. oederlof Called.
Mrs. Emma Cederlof, widow of the
victim of the shooting, was the next
and last witness of the afternoon.
She entered the courtroom slowly,
heavily yelled, and walked uncertainty
to the witness box, being escorted by
a deputy marshal from the threshold
Of the courtroom to the witness chair.
She gave her name as Emma Ccder-
T, lof living now in Honolulu, but on Sep
TENDER % of this year residing with
/ her husband at Schofeld Barracks. She
was married December 10, 1908, to
Cederlof, and for the past two years
he had been clerk in the quarter
master department. She knew de-
PENDANT and had seen him during the
afternoon.
From this point Mrs. Cederlof told
! of going to the militia camp on the
afternoon Of the shooting, in company
with Mcmahon, his wife and Mrs. Hoff-
man, returning together after FIVE
O'Clock and separating at Mrs. Hoff-
man s home.
Coming back from the camp, Nc
Mahon had told of fight he had with
n native (Hawaiian) at the camp who
had bloodied his nose. He would have
licked the native had the native been
his equal He was not, being black,
and outside of Hawaii "niggers' were
shot and hung.
Further testimony along this line
was cut short by an objection of At
ltornev Andrews to the effect that such
testimony had nothing at all to do
with the case, Mcmahon not being
charged with shooting any Hawaiian
or part Hawaiian. The objection was
sustained and further motion to have
the testimony stricken from the record
will be argued early this morning be-
! fore the jury comes in.
1t was between six and six-thirty
{ that she saw Mrs. Mcmahon again as
} she came to the Cederlof home at that
, time and had dinner there. They sal
, on the porch afterward. Krane was
there during the evening about hall
an hour, and Sergeant Hoffman als'
!, came in for few minutes. Kran
I had just left when Sergeant Mcmahon
r came along. This was about quartz
7 to nine.
Spectators Breathless.
