effect on the indutry in Hawaii, nor

TRIAL BEFORE

Robinson, Witness, Loses Coed
Humor at Prison Record
Mention

Once more Clarence Robinson, ne
gro whose trespasses against the law
are well-known here, stepped into
the limelight this morning as the first
witness to be called before the civil
service commission to testify against
Detective John R. Kellett, who was
discharged from the department by
Sheriff Jarrett yesterday afternoon,
and whose appeal is now being heard
by the commission.
Delayed in convening, because of
the absence of Commissioner Doyle,
who did not arrive until II o'clock, the
testimony of Robinson and Officer
John Woo, who was put on the stand
to corroborate what the negro said
cncerning the brutal treatment he al
leges he once received at the hands of
the discharged officer. consumed the
entire morning session.
The hearing was resumed at 2
o'clock this afternoon in the senate
chamber, and will probably continue
until late this afternoon The senate
chamber was decided upon, in place
of the room of the supervisors, be-
cause of the noise from the building
of the Brewer structure next door,
which makes it almost impossible to
hear the witnesses.
Clarence testified that he had been
struck twice and later showed down
the decline into the jail yard, where
he fell on his face, breaking his nose.
He attributed the treatment he receiv-
ed to KelIett, who had on an occasion
nr two arrested him Woo Sunre that
he was present at the time and re

for the district Of Hawaii was accom-.
plished without protest or opposition.
II stands forth as one Of the rare In

slipped through without some kind OF

whatever was lodged with the senate
judiciary committee and no voice of
antagonism was heard on the floor.
Delay in action on the nomination
OF Mr.. McCarn was due alone to the
fact that for two or. three meeting
days a quorum of the judiciary COM
mittee did not appear and nothing
could be done with any of the bust
ness awaiting consideration At the
first meeting when a majority of the
members were present a favorable re-
port was ordered. This went over one
