brought fefiouh charges against hcalo
ha. respecting matters which would
come before the grand jury. and Of
which Cool believed Kcaloha 20 bc
guilty, he did not believe that the Juror
could. evcn II he tried, hay aside this
opinion.
After some argument on both sides.
Judge Parsons stated that nc believed
that the challenge had been well taken,
particularly on the basis Of the answer
made by Cool to tho effect TINT he be-
licvcd Kealoha 10 be guilty. The chal-
lcnge was sustained. however, only as
far ms the Kealoha matters were con
cerncd. and Cool could remain on the
grand jury to work on all other mat
tors brought before it.
Secretary Dcyo Barred.
Secretary Deyo of the board of trade,
was the next victim. He admitted in
answer to queations similar to those
which had been directed to Cool, tn; a
he had signed the impeachment charges,
that he believed then that they were
/ true. and that he still had that belief.
"Did you have the facts before you
| on which you could base that bcliefl'
asked Ileen.
Deyo answered that he had read in
| the newspapers an account of the trial
in the police court, whore Kcaloha was
convicted of false ccrtifcation.
Mcbride challenged Deyo on grounds
of bias and prejudicc, and the same
ruling was made in this case as had
| been made in that of Cool.
| The examination of II. #. Guard was
a short one, as Guard gave Mcbride the
surprise of his life, when he answered
that he had not signed the impeachment
charges.
But what about your name heref'
asked Mcbride, pointing to a name on
the document.
Then Guard gently broke to Claudius
| the news that the signature was that
of his son, Ted Guard, and that Guard
pcrc had not been among the signers.
Mcbride admitted that he was in err
ror on this point. but he made another
attack on the old Guard without, how
ever, producing the surrender which
provcrb has it cannot be secured
care you n member of the board of
trade?' asked Mcbride.
81 am not, - replied Guard, who also
stated, in answer to further questions,
that he felt no bias or prejudice against
| kcaloha.
So Guard remained undisturbcd, Me
Bride withdrawing the challenge as far
az that juror was concerned.
Had Not Read Charges.
j. A. Nj Osorio created diversion
by replying that he had signed the
charges against Kealoha, but that he
had done SO without reading them. lie
did not know what he signed, nor did
he know whether Kealoha was guilty
of the charges. He had no opinion in
regard to the guilt or innocence of that
gentleman.
Mcbride challenged Osorio on grounds
of, bias and prejudice, contending that
this was shown by his signing the
charges against Kealoha, but Judge
Parsons held that the mere act of sign
ing was not sufficient to act as a dis
qualification of a juror, where he
thought such signing was merely for
the purpose of bringing about an m
vestigation.
Mcbride was also unluclSy in regard
to Osorio's .bciug a member of the
board Of ira ic, Tor he informed him that
lie Lad not been 30 for the FAST two
years -t.. Il
SO Osorio stayed out. Tx
The examination of kellner was
swift, for the juror said that he had
signed the charges and that he believed
them to be true, so he was waited of
the jury, as far rs Kealoha was con
ccrned, with great despatch.
: Leonard said that he believed that
there was enough truth in the charges
to warrant the removal of Kcaloha from
Office, but he would be willing TO Civ,
| him fair hearing. This he did not
get any opportunity to give, however
: for Mcbride had him join the others.
Thaanum said he had signed thu
charges and still believed them to b,
: true. He was ready victim t.
l Claudi attack.
Archie Uapai was examined in n gen
eral way, but ho could show that he ha,
: expressed no opinion in regard to Ike
: aloha, that he was open-minded and
r better yet, that he did not belong t,
the board of trade, so he remained OIL
the jury.
Mcbride addressed general question
e for the members if any of them belong
: ed to the board of trade. Ross AM
g Webster admitted that they did.
! What Boari Of Trade Is.
