Shooter Was Drunk.
County Attorney Beers states that
the case of Police Officer Ewaliko,
who shot Engineer Burrows at a luau
at Puueo recently, will in all proba-
bilty, be investigated by the grand
jury
Deputy Sheriff Fetter did not be-
lieye the story told by Ewaliko and
Burrows, to the effect that the shoot
ing was accidental He did not intend
TO cause the arrest of the officer, as
Burrows declined to make any COM
plant. Ewaliko has not been dis
charged, but Fetter has suspended
him until the sheriff returns from
Kona.
1t has been learned-and the fact
is corroborated by Fetter-that on the
night in question Officer Ewaliko was
drunk. When he turned up at mid
night to go on duty, he was so drunk
that he was sent home by Lieutenant
Kepoo. He did not go home, however
but went in uniform to the Roback
house where the shooting occurred.
In the meantime the story is per-
sstent that the shooting was by no
means accidental but arose over the
fact that Ewaliko was jealous on ac-
count of attentions which Burrows
was paying to his wife.
