Anticipating interesting information
On the new district attorneys attitude
regarding white. slavery and statutory
offenses crowd OF spectators fol-
lowed the trial all day yesterday,
awaiting McCarn's address to the jury.
Ii came late in the afternoon.
VIII Protect the Child.
Some Of Jeff MeCarn's statements
along this line were about as follows:
at has been iIltimated to me that
certain offenses cannot be punished
in this territory. If that time ever
comes / am going to resign from my
office.
As long as i am in this community
] propose to stand before the jurieS
to protect the weak from the strong;
20 protect the school children from the
rayages of the lecherous beasts prowl-
ing in the country, the child from the
lustful man who would ruin her.
81 am not appealing on behalf of the
woman old enough and strong enough
to know better and to protect herself.
It is for such children as the one in
this case, young, weak, an orphan;
perhaps, as has been shown here, al
ready debauched and ruined because
she lacked protection in the first
place-it is for such as this one i
make my appeal to the men of this
community and to you. F...5',... f.
I'VE don't propose to be put to the
necessity of challenging any juror be
cause he belongs to a particular race;
we shall challenge jurors only be-
cause OF personality, Our fight for
the children is to be waged among
all classes and races and we shall ask
the decent mans support" H.. =
Andrade INTERRUPTS Mccarn. II
Assistant u. S. District.attorney G..
C.. Biting made the governments
opening address to the jury. Attorney
Andrade then spoke for the defense
and jeff McCarn gave 1.-THE closing
argument. Andrade's first Interrupt
ton was to complain that MeCarn
was introducing new points in his dis
cussion, which had not been. touched
upon either by Biting or Andrade,
which he asserted was contrary to the
rules laid down for court practise.
The court ruled that sMcGarn might
proceed and that If he did take UP GER
tain new points Andrade would be
given the privilege of a brief reply,
the districtattorney to have final re-
buttal. :8ss~..: = H..
J., At the close of McCarn's argument,
a very able and forceful address that
held the close attention of his hearers
sthroughoat,athe court asked lAndrade
if he cared to. reply, and the latter re-
piled: %:-~ = - ~,
no, Your Honor, we do not feel Mr..
McCarn has, hurt our case any" &"
The defendants, Giovanni A. Long,
Pauline Hayes, who is now Long s
wife, and William Knock, were &C
cused of taking 12-year-old girl, from
the Kakaako school to their home,
where she was detained for day and
a night. All the testimony showed
that no assault had been committed,
however. It was shown also that the
girls brother-in-law was reputed to
have caused her ruin.
Under the white slave act the gov
eminent sought to convict the three
defendants on the ground that they
had transported the child from one
place to another with immoral intent,
holding It was not necessary to show
actual immoral relations to convict.
The entire effort was to prove beyond
i.oa sonahln Doubt that immoral intent
was shown in their actions.
