4party came up the tran. The shots
were fired without word OF warning
The first to. fall under the leaden hail
was Matsofuji, who received one bull

the result that practically all the
teeth in that portion OF his mouth
have been torn away. The man. now

Sheriff Jarrett. was in consultation
with Deputy Sheriff Davis of Koolau-
pcko this morning and from what can
be learned the young woman was I'M
married. She is believed to have been
friendly TO Matsofilji which Is said to
have caused intense jealousy to
spring up In the breast OF the man
who finally took his own life after
wreaking his vengeance upon the 90
.jects of his hatred. s
Sheriff Jarrett found that in ALL
nine shots had been fired from the
two guns before the n1lrdered's hand
was stil1led by death. The guns which
caused the death of the two Japanese
we're recovered today by the officers.
There is a possibility that an ante
norton statement viii be secured
from Matsofuji now at the nospital
which is expected will add mulch lighS
upon the tragedy and the events that
led up to the crime
DR.. w. L. Moore city and county
physician who, was returning from a
visit to the hills, came upon the party
very soon after the shooting. HA
caught q photograph of the scene, His
examination made Of the Japanese
readily convinced him that cwo at
least were past all medical aid, Z.
DR.. Moore however rendered FIRST
aid treatment to the injured Matsofu1i
and In his machine the Japanese was
brought TO Honolulu and placed In
the hospital for treatment.
The statement was made yesterday
by one Japanese who had visited the
hospital that Ishisiki the suicide mad
attempted to pay marked attention to
the dead woman covering q Period Of
several months. That his suit was
not favorably received is believed, IS
the woman is said to have left Homo
lulu where she resided fro some time
for the other side of the island.
The story was also current that
Ishisiki and the Injured man now at
the hospital had INDUCED in some
heated words over the affair or the
heart
When Ishisiki was found he still
held tightly ciitcfeo in his right hand
the revolver that brought his own de-
struction. The dead man was arrayed
ID dark clothes and wore a Panama
hat
When DIR. Moore. came upon the par
Elephants in the crime he found Matso-
fnji ana the woman laying side by
side, barely three, feet separating
them. 7sz
