Southern Ire Of JEFF McCarr
Aroused During Trial Be
fore Judge Dole.
lFrom Thursday Advertiser

Attorney Lorrin Andrews was win
ner yesterday in the federal court be-
fore Judge Sanford B. Dole over United
States District Attorney JEFF McCarn.
Judge Dole discharged Mrs. Lucy Tom.
son and Mrs. Rose Walters, who had
been ordered deported some months ago
by the federal immigration authorities
on the ground that they were undesif.
able alien residents in the Territory.
The matter of the petitions for writs
of habeas corpus on behalf of these two
women has been pending in the federal
court for a long time.
Proof was shown yesterday morning
that these women have married Ameri.
can citizens, and the court decided that
there being no proof that the couple
! had not married in good faith, they
could not be. deported. The marriage
of these alien women to American eiti.
zens made the wives American in the
eyes Of the law. v. r.
last year, when the federal authorities
made an attempt to clean up the lwilei
district. Following the order of de.
portation the women quietly married
Americans. When they were later no
titled to present themselves at the inn
migration station for deportation they
demurred, in fact refused, and sued out
writs Of habeas corpus. #
During one stage of the proceedings
yesterday before Judge Dole there were
almost sure signs of war. District At.
torney McCarn felt he had been insult
ed by Attorney Lorrin Andrews, who
has always claimed to be shining
apostle OF peace.
In an effort to bring out testimony
which would prove that the marriages
which had taken place had been subter.
fnges, .shams performed under the sane.
tity Of the Hawaiian marriage laws to
defeat the federal laws regulating the
deportation Of undesirables, McCarn
asked Robert Walters:
You said that he (meaning Tom
sony slept there one night last week,
didn I youf" E,@'.-
''He didn't testify to anything ike
that" quietly rejoined Attorney An.
drews, in his soft, matter-of, fact, suave
way. ,le fT,
There was an explosion, or something
ann " OHt1 IIOIu McNaFn corner.
The district attorney launched into a
warm TRADE. He was hot In the col.
lar; claimed he had been insulted. An.
drews sat still, He smiled. If there
should be war, the war was to be waged
entirely by the government. Andrews,
peaceable citizen, would have none
Of il.
~ demand that your Honor regulate
such practise in this court, or adjourn
court for about two minutes until |
attend TO this matter myself said
McCarn, with ring to his voice and a
steely look in his Southern eyes that
toded untold possibilities. s.@.
IL want this stopped. If the court
thinks IT is a matter for me TO settle,
/ would ask for short recess that /
may settle the insult in my own, way. y
But Judge Dole poured oil on the
troubled waters. He thought that OBJ,
jeetions, might be made less forceful,
even When voiced in such suave tones
as Andrews alone knows how 10 use.
An objection was then made by Attor.
ney Andrews 10 the district attorney Is
question. II was overruled, an cxeep,
ton noted and allowed, and the war
was over. En-, ~
After the judge had finally decided
the cases IN Attorney Andrews favor,
the women s attorney went his peaceful
way out of the court. Mr.. Mccain did
| likewise. .# ~" -
