REMAINS OF GUERTLER
LEAVE in WlLHEL NINA

Madame Puahi, keeper Of the
hula dance hall in Kapiolani park
where C. r. Guertler was shot Sun.
day morning, was the first witness to
be called before the coroner's jury
which convened at two O'clock this
afternoon. Her testimony was al
most a repetition of the statement
made by her to Star-Bulletin repre-
sentative yesterday, except that it diff
fered materially as to the circumstanc-
es Of the actual shooting. She test
fed today that she did not see the
shooting, but that she heard the shot
fired. and came into the room, finding
Guertler and the others in the scuffie.
She also told that after leaving the
dance hall once following quarrel
with the Guertler party, Marshall re-
turned with a friend who tried to get
him away. She did not know the
name of this friend The friend went
to get MarshalPs hat and there was
another scuffle, during which time
Guertler walked over to where it was
taking place. She says Guertler was
within two feet of Marshall at the
time the shot was fired.
The rest of her story followed close
ly that given to the Star-Bulletin yes
terday, and related to the series of
quarrels between Marshall and the
others. Several other witnesses are
to be called.
His face flushed from a fever, his
eyes ,bloodshot from sleepless night,
his hands shaking with nervousness
which seems TO be growing more
acute with each hour, John w. Mar
shall stepped into the police court
this morning, took his seat In the
prisoners dock, and a few minutes
later the young man who killed c. r.
Guertler Sunday morning listened as
a charge of murder was entered
against him by A. M. Brown, deputy
city and county attorney.
He remained silent. Since his ar
rest he has made but a few state
ments. Attorney Frank Thompson
was present in court to represent him
this morning. He stated that he had
been asked to appear by H. K. Bishop
Of the WaiahoIe Water Company, but
that he does not know now whether
he will appear for Marshall in the
subsequent proceedings, Attorney
Thompson also is acting for the
Guertler estate. After the charge
had been made by Attorney Brown,
the case was put over until August 10,
before which time it is believed the
grand jury will meet and bring an in
dictment against Marshall.
Suggestions as to the defense to be
made for the prisoner are swiftly
coming to the front Mr.. Thompson,
however, does not wish to discuss
them at this time. The story of a
love affair which began on a steamer
and later drove Marshall from Hilo
back to the mainland where the girl
lived is being related this morning
as a possible defence which may be
urged to show that the young man
was not in his normal mind when he
fired the shot which cost the life of
Guertler.
A. A. Wilson of the Waiahole COM
pany employed Marshall shortly after
he met the girl, and Wilson and he
worked together in Hilo on job for
several months Letters from the
girl came to Marshall often, at first.
