His surrender was so unexpected
that the deputy sheriff could not be-

called at Richards office, and finding
the deputy sheriff was not there,
called up the latter at his home and
told him that he had come down from
the hills to become a willing prison

Schmidt was brought to Hilo Mon
day afternoon by Sheriffs Pua and
RickarI and lodged in the county bas-

Fourth circuit court, on charge of

Schmidt, who is a German-Porto
Rican, might have remained at large
for an indefinite period. He had
many friends who were sheltering
him and taking turns at feeding him.
He surrendered, he said, because the
officers had arrested one of his
friends, John ROdrigues, one of the
homesteaders above Pauilo, and be
cause he mad been told that they also
had jailed his aged father. Rather
than see his father and friends suffer
he was willing to submit to the au-
thorities and let the law take its
course.
At the same slime he has displayed
a peculiar streak of inconsistency, for
he told Sheriff Pua and Deputy Sheriff
Richard that If they don't treat me
good at the Jail won't stay. I'll es-
cape and you wont get me again."
As a result of the murderer's child
ish boast the guards have been or

MARSHALL LOSES
CONTRACT SAYS
RUMOR in HILO
Lord Young Engineering CON-
pany to Complete Break
water Job Is "Dope"
Especial star-Bulletin Correspondence

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
HILO, July 17.-Though no definite
news concerning the Hilo breakwater
negotiations could be obtained this
week another interesting, though un.
confirmed story is making the rounds
to the effect that George Marshall,
the contractor, has forfeited his con-
tract, the surety company it is said
having failed to live up to its bargain
with Marshall, and that the Lord
Young Engineering Company is now
destined to take hold Of the project.
Marshall, although on this island,
has not been in town the last two or
three days and could not be found
yesterday to verify or deny the ru-
NOR. 1t is reported, however, that he
is inspecting rock quarries along the
Hamakua coast and at Waipio, and
this would seem sufficient contradic.
tion to the report that he is out Of
the proposition.
He stated on his return from Homo
lulu last Sunday that work positive
ly would begin within two weeks
time, the activity merely awaiting
word from Honolulu that certain
pending negotiations had terminated
satisfactorily. He was not ready at
that time to say where the rock was
to be obtained.
Included in the story of forfeited
contracts is a report that the Lord
Young Engineering Company virtual
ly holds the key to the quarry ques-
ton, having large rights to the Ka-
poho sites which, it is said, neither
Marshall nor the surety company has
as yet been able to obtain.
