Attorneys for tho defense have re-
ceivod nearly all Of the reputed Zee Of
$500 in the Norman b. Smith case,
for, with the striking out Of certain
amounts from the costs Of Marshal FL
lott Of San Francisco yesterday, the
total turned over to Attorney Frank
Thompson from Smiths money was
sIle2o6.
In the account Of the San Francisco
Marshal, tho total claims for expenses,
etc, were $s7ISS. From this was talk
en- $145.oS, a charge Of six cents mile
mileage from San Francisco to Homo
lulu in serving the writ Of removal, this
being charged second time in the
ten cents mile for bringing Smith
here in company with deputy and
guard
In addition to the $l45.0S taken from
the account yesterday, was another Of
$s5.4o cutting the payment for mileage
down from 24lS land miles to 2lOo nau-
teal miles in bringing the prisoner to
Honolulu. These two reductions made
a total from the previous costs assessed
of $24O.4s, and brought down the bill
of the marshal to s6S6.90.
The final charge against the $4,000
found on Smith in gold coin at the time
of his arrest amounted to $2207.94,
made up as follows: Fine $500, mar
shall (hero) $4,000, clerks costs $16,95,
attorney $40, marshal (San Francisco)
$63690.
On December the sum of $95l.5
was over to Attorney Thompson by or
der of the court, yesterday, the final
amount of $240,4S, and so ends the case
of Norman b. Smith, opium smuggler.
Clerk Murphy of federal court was
busy counting the gold pieces making
up the total yesterday afternoon, and
remembered something about the bad
penny returning. In this instance the
gold now in the Golfers Of the federal
court was paid to Smith here in Homo
lulu by various Chinese for quantities
of the poppy drug, and 1t came back to
rest in tho Golfers of the court without
Smith having anything but the trouble
of taking it to San Francisco.
