Chauffeur Boln is said to have,
upon returning from Buckle lane,
stopped his machine where the body
of the Porto Rican lay, and to have
called upon a Chinaman to help him
examine the corpse. Bolin is then al
legged to have remarked to the China
man that he would go and call a po-
lice officer.
Passengers Talked.
The first hint of the affair came
when the passengers who travelled IN
car sol arrived at a luau at Buckle
lane. One of the passengers is said
to have remarked in English: Il
wonder how that man is getting on
l wonder if he is dead" Some Ha-
waiian ladies, who understood English
perfectly, overheard the conversation
and at once conveyed the hint to the
sheriff.
Keen investigation.
The keenest investigation of the
whole affair is being made, and the
sheriff is determined to find out the
facts of the tragedy. The fact that
the Porto Rican was left to die on
the street, when there might have
been a chance to save his life if the
automobile party had picked him vi
and taken him to the hospital, is
thought to be the worst phase of the
affair

nesses of the occurrence, and they say
that the machine continued on its
journey
Investigations this morning show
that when auto sol was returning
from some place up Buckle lane way,
the chauffeur claims that he discov-
cred the corpse on the street 1t is
alleged in some quarters that Bolin
had passed down the street some time
before and that he had prominent
county official as a passenger, togeth-
er with some other persons.
Jarrett Got Hint.
Sheriff Jarrett, who got hint of
the tragedy late last night, through a
certain conversation being overheard,
ordered the arrest of L. Bolin, the
chauffeur alluded to before. The man,
who is a discharged soldier. is now
held for investigation at the police
station. He is said to be in a very
anxious frame of mind at present,
and to appear to have something on
his mind
Harry Murray QUESTIONED.
The sheriff also communicated with
Supervisor Harry Murray. chairman
of the police committee, and inquired
if he knew anything about the matter
