! hanson found a case where Officer Kai-
pc found pair of foreeps in the house
of q Japanese. He promptly arrested
him for practising dentistry without
having tho license demanded by law.
1t seems that the japanese had extract
ed teeth, hut the tooth pulling was with
him an avocation rather than basi-
ness, for he did not charge ANYTHING
for the operation. In spite of this the
bail was fixed ut fifty dollars, while in
many other cases of much graver Of
fenses only two or three dollars was
demanded for bail
Evidence Made to Order.
One case reported by Williamson
would be amusing were the facts not
so serious. On ,January %, 1913, three
men, Laulani, All Kea and All Young
were arrested Mt Makapala for gamb
ling, two officers making the. arrest
One of the officers testified that he had
marked four fvo cent pieces, which he
had given one of the players before
the raid took place, These coins were
offered in evidence, but owing to the
lack of corroborating evidence, the cas'
4 was dismissed by the court. After the
court session, the judge asked the dep
pty sheriff why he had not put the see
ond officer on the stand, when his cast
would probably have been much strong
or. The prosecutor is reported to have
answered that he did not do so, becaus,
he was afraid the two officers would
get their evidence mixed, for, as mat
ter of fact, the coins had been marked
in the Office of the deputy sheriff JUS

not. The following day he showed nj
