MS nedV ne was hurried 10 the nos
pital while a thorough search of the
camp yielded up five Japs whom the
police felt sure they could identify.
They were promptly taken into Gus
tody and brought over to Lihue. Sheriff
Rice and c. A. Doyle are making a
most rigid search for all those who
took a hand in this cowardly murder.
The murdered man was single and
bore a good reputation with the police
department.
Sentenced to Hanu.
Nakamura, the Japanese who muir
dered a countrymen in Makaweli on
the night OF October II by stabbing
him to death, having been found guilty
Of murder in the first degree by the
jury, was on last Wednesday after
noon sentenced to be hanged, Hon.
Judge Hardy prououncing the sen
tence.
The trial throughout was hotly con
tested, Hon. J. w. Sheldon Of Waimea
making a strenuous effort to save his
client. The evidence however was so
conclusive as to render his efforts
futile
Diphtheria in Hanapepe.
Word from Principal Brodie is to
the effect that but one case of diph-
iberia has so far developed and that
the situation looks brighter.
Four of the teachers, namely Mr.,
and Mrs. Morse, Miss Laube and Miss
Hartley are still in quarantine and
will likely remain so for several days
longer, as there is no desire to take
any chances of a further spread Of
the disease. DR. West makes daily in
spection of every school child and any
suspicious looking case is taken in
hand at once One child is said to
have been found who carries the germ,
yet remains immune from the disease
herself. She is reported under quar-
antine and receiving close attention
from the doctor. Healta Inspector
Cooke has contributed much valuable
help in the present crisis, which is
highly appreciated by the community.
Mr.. Brodie has been greatly put out
through the loss of his teachers, but
has managed so far to continue the
classes. He will probably be able
within few days to get assistance
from the Waimea school for the re-
naming period of quarantine
Grand Jury Report.
In its final report the grand jury
stated it had found true bills against
Nakamura Egiro, charged with muir
der in the first degree; Kimtori,
charged with burglary in the second
degree; Shire Baragas, charged with
assault with intent to murder, and
Bariano de Ia Santos, charged with
assault and battery with a weapon
obviously and imminently dangerous
to life. No bill was found in the case
of Honoris, charged with assault with
a deadly weapon.
One more indictment was found,
which the grand jury asked to have
placed on the secret file, pending the
arrest of the accused. The report
says:
I'VE regret to call the attention of
the court to the unpreparedness of
the police in regard to witnesses in
the cases presented. When wanted
they were not on hand consequently
your grand Jurors had to adjourn to
the following day. However, your
grand Jurors believe that this unpre-
paredness does not wholly fall to the
lot of the police department, but in
some respects upon the district magis-
trate of Lihue, for failure on his part
to file the necessary transcripts in
cases committed to the term of this
court"
