Sheriff William Henry Riee,s reply
to the attorney generals query says:
Upon receipt of your letter request
ing the facts regarding Mrs. Gloria
Paris l went to Koloa this morning to
see her mother, Mrs. Gloria Paris,
the wife of John Paris, convicted OF
horse stealing. has no children, so her
mother tells me. |, went and saw
Mrs. Medeiros, the mother of Mrs.
Paris, and she told me that the girl
went to live with them after John
Paris had been sent to Oahu prison
and was welcome to stay with her
parents; but that John had written
for her to so to Honolulu so that he
could visit with her on Sundays Mrs.
Medeiros says the daughter will be
welcomed at any time that she wishes
to return to her parents home. After
John Paris left on the steamer for
prison made arrangements to have
her transported from Nawiliwili to Ko.

they would be glad to receive her, IL
John Paris did not come with her.
They were married in March. 1911, so
there is not much chance of her hav.

John Paris has been convicted OF
assault and battery In the district
court OF KolOa. He bears bad repu-
tation in his district and has been sus.
pected Of cattle and horse stealing
before; but not enough evil
denee to- convict him. He has
not been able to find steady work as
he had bad reputation for sobriety
and industry and would not work when
he had a job. ~
He was convicted last November
of stealing horse belonging to C. B.
Morse. He took the horse to Honolulu
and / sent an officer after him ana

horse to Officer Spillner and SO Sher.
in Jarrett was able to assist my Off.
Ger in a quick recovery of the animal
and the arrest of Paris.
John Paris had fair trial and was
convicted, and if executive clemency
was extended TO him it would be q
miscarriage of justice as 1t would not
be lone, before he would be up to his
old tricks again. "@=-.
. Mrs. Gloria Paris is better of with
her parents than with her husband.
She is more or less simpie-minded and

home 70 her parents, as they can
best look after her and the child
which is about to arrive"
Judge Lyle A. Dickey eorroborates
Sheriff Rice's story and further tends
to refute her realistic narrative by
explaining something OF the husbands
parentage and, record He says:
John Paris has a Guam father and
a Hawaiian mother. He has been con-
Yicted three times In KoIoa district
court for assault and battery but has
no other convictions against him for
larceny so far as / could find out,
though he has borne bad reputation
for some years and is generally be-
lieved in his neighborhood to be a
thief 45..-..-..s- - "
!, AT the time of the trial Mrs. Paris
had no children. The four you speak
of must have been adopted since her
husbands conviction. She was mar
ried- May 20, 1911, and her age is Civ
en- as 10 in her marriage record. At
the time of her husbands conviction
both her husbands parents and her
own~1were willing to care for her.
They are more able to care for her
than was her husband, so she is not
an object of charity. 1t is possible of
course that she has since quarreled
with her parents and been cast out,
but it is far more probable that she
has gone to Honolulu Of her own ae-
cord to see her husband"
