| u Conflicting Afidavits. e.
The second part OF the charges fled
by Mr.. Murphy are backed by copies Of
afiidayits aud BY the copy Of another
demand upon the court appropriation.
One affidavit was made by Judge Kings
bury in the supreme court, in connection
with petition for writ of habeas cor
nus for Lucy Akiona All Sam, then de.
tanned in the Malulani Hospital, In
which he swears that he was not g in
a,,., ,,.an,,ar nnncavnad in INV rannovaI
of the said Lucy Aikona All Sam from
her home and denies that he had any
thing whatever to do with her leaving
or being removed from or going away
from the home of said All SAM The
affidavit, which denies that Judge
Kingsbury as u Judge had anything
whatever to do with the All Sam case,
further denies that this respondent
(Judge Kingshury) as said judge ever
made any order or took any setion
whatever regarding the separation Of
the said Iney Akiona All Sam from
her alleged husband This affidavit
was sworn TO before Floroncc Lee, in
Honolulu on August ~, 1918. l.
The contrary afidavit BY Sister Hell

as matron Of the hospital where Lucy
| Aikona All Sam was confined, is now
and always has been under the belief
that said Lucy Aikona All Sam was
placed IN said hospital for care and pro-
lection under the direction OF the said
Honorable Selden y. Kingsbury. That
said respondent (Sister Helene) admits
THAT she has allowed no visitors TO CON
verse with said Lucy Akiopa All Sam
unless given permission by the Honor,
able s. b.. Kingsbpry,, and that had
Lucy Akiona An Sam fiattempted To
leave the premises Of the said hospi'
tai, the said respondent would have re,
strained her until communicating with
the said Honorable s. b. Kingsbury.',
As showing further that Judge
Kingsbnry had something to do with
combining Lucy Akiona All sam In the
hospital, which he denies, Mr., Murphy
