K0Nl COURT IS
GIVEN $3.50 MORE
Board of Supervisors Comes to
Rescue Murder Trial May
Now Proceed.
{ From .Monday Advertlser.l

BY special dispensation Of the toun,
ty board Of supervisors, the present
session Of Circuit Judge Mattheyman Z
court at Kona was given new lease
on life Wednesday, and IL may now
continue until the additional sum Of
$3.50, appropriated At that time by the
county fathers, has been exhausted.
Before the fund is gone, however the
coutr hopes to dispose Of the old Ka-
media murder ease from Kau, which has
been hanging FIRE more than a year,
according TO the Hilo Herald of last
Friday.
One Of the supervisors first acts
when they convened in monthly ses-
sion Wednesday morning was to. take
MP and pass fAvoratly upon the reso-
hutton Of Julian Yates, member from
North and Sohth Kona, asking that
the $3.50 appropriation he set aside for
the Kona circuit court. Had the speedy
action not been taken Judge Matthew
man would have been compelled to adj
iourn sine die, as the last bit Of cash
available for payment of jurors and
witnesses wonld have been used up that
day.
Sheriff Pua. Deputy County Attorney
Hcon and Judge Matthewman were
hastily called by phone and notified;
hence court over in the third circuit
is still in progress. There was some
fear that the supervisors, with tie ,th
set and faces turned gfimly alcng the
path of economy, would refuse to h>ar
Yates plea for money, and for that
reason Kanqda. the accused man, had
been brought down to Hilo, where he
could be kopt until the next session OF
the third circuit. But YATES evi .ently
proved more eloquent, or the supervis-
ors more willing to listen to reason,
than. the elKona authorities expected,
hence Kaneda was to be taken back
in the shcrih's automoi lie yesterday.
Kaneda . trial may begin at Kona
today or tomorrow, as Attorney y. w
