v. youngworth, United states Marshal
At Los Angeles, in which city be was
apprehondod after leaving Honolulu un.
der indictment for perjury before fed
eral grand jury.
Next Saturday Honrys case viii
come up to be set for trial, and in the
meantime, to such time as he does como
to trial, it is likely that he will Ian
guish in Jail, as it is hardly probable
other bondsmen will be tosnd after his
leaving the city under bonds of $500.
He was apprehended in Los Angeles on
cable information from here and was
held there until bench warrant could
reach that city, when he commenced
his journey back to Hawaii to face
trial.
Marshal Youngworth and his wife
are making the trip TO the Orient and
will be gone from home three months,
cable being received by him on arriv-
al here that this leave had been APP
proved by his superiors. They contin-
ued to the Orient by the Korea, being

Sentence on Thursday.
1t is expected in court circles that
John A. Mcmahon will be sentenced by
Judge Clemens tomorrow, it being an
nounced by the court that no sentence
would be given today. Attorney An
drews for the defense is preparing a
motion for new trial which win be
presented to the court at the time the
prisoner comes up for his sentence on
the conviction of voluntary man
slaughter.
Although the extreme penalty in a
conviction of this kind is ten years, it
seems to be the opinion that a much
shorter sentence will be given McMa-
hon than the maximum. Five years,
and even three, are talked of by those
who have been in close touch with the
case and the proceedings of the court.
Celtic Chief Again.
Today again the Celtic Chief salvage
case win come up for hearing after ly-
ing dormant for several weeks, and
further testimony will be taken or dep
ositions read which have not been
offered in evidence in the past.
This case is one which has been be
fore the court for long time, and the
end seems to be far in the future. The
amount involved by the Miller Salvage
Company, Inter-Island Steam Naviga
tion Company, and Matson Navigation
Company is over $4,000 for their worl
in salving the vessel which went ashore
outside the entrance to Honolulu har
Dor.
Besides the Celtic Chief matter, tn,
only other case on the calendar of tn,
court today is the habeas corpus pro
woman being Kept out u of the Ge6b Chin IS
} by Inspector Brown as RsfoIaI es----;
. grafton esryfce, it being claimed sh,
is an alien and has trachoma. She il
married to a Hon0lulu.born Chinese
and contends that she is a citizen anC
not an alien under the meaning of the
law in such cases.

Saturday morning the calendar OF
federal court is crowded and there are
thirty cases to come up at that time
Some are to be set for trial and others
for further disposition, which means
the same thing in some cases.
Phoney Davis and other familiar fg
ures are among those whose names an

eral persons connected with opium
smuggling being among the number
