yesterday. In this Waialae, case es.

From Wednesday Advertiser


Although Attorney George A. Davis
yos' erday morning, before Judge w. j.
Robinson, made another attempt TO
ward off the doom which hangs over
the head of Henry Francis Furguson
and asked for stay of sentence as
well rs moved that the ease be carried
to the supreme court on reserved ques
tions, his efforts were unavalling and
sentence was pronounced on the slayer
of Officer NJ. ID. Abreu.
"Hsve anything to say why the
sentence of this court should not be
passed upon You mt this time3' asked
Judge Robinson of the doomed man, as
Furguson, with hands clasped and heal
bowed stood before him. Furguson did
not answer. He appeared to be in Il
stupor, The court repeated the ques'
tion and still Furguson appeared to
have not heard. His attorney turned to
him aud told Furguson to tell the court
If he had any reason why sentence
should not be pronounced.
The man then appeared to awaken
to the situation. He lifted his head
and, for the first time looking straight
at the JUDGE, said:

Furguson spoke audibly and his voice
was full and resonant. Judge Robin
son then stated that the prisoner had
had fair and impartial trial and that
he had been found guilty Of the charge
of murder in the first DECREE by jury
of twelve men. As if to get the sad
duty off his mind, Judge Robinson ther
hurriedly passed the death sentence OF

of the court.

Although l.. l.. Pinkham is not yet
Governor of Hawaii, and his chances
for ever being such appear to be get
ting daily simmer. yet he was near
enough to the shoes of Governor Frear
short time ago and regarded as 80
surely his successor that he refused per-
mission to have the new bond issue
| placed on the market by Frear, accord
! ing to a letter from the Governor to
Treasurer Conkling, received yesterday.
| In this letter written by Governor
Frear, under date of Washington, No
vember -, he informs the treasurer
that he was difident as to the success
which would attend the proposed fiota-
ton of the new Hawaiian bond issue,
if it was decided to float it at all at
this time while he had had u conference
with l.. l.. Pinkham on the question and
the gubernatorial nominee expressed
himself decidedly opposed to floating
the bond issue at this time. In fact,
Pinkham put his foot down emphatical-
ly and refused to give his approval.
10 was the opinion of the Governor
that the market was not just in the
proper condition at this time to float
the issue, anyhow, the pending Currency
Bill affecting most seriously the East
ern financial world. Hawaiian three
and half bonds were then being quot
ed in the New York market at from
ninety-four to ninety-six.
cit seems to me that we won I have
any new bond issue foated for some
time to come, said Treasurer Conkling
yesterday. ~ am now quite sure of
spending Christmas Day at home as l
have all along been hoping to, and it
will be some time now before l will
have to go East to float the loan, the
Governor s work in this matter being
only to obtain the Presidents APP
