One of the charges made against
Judge INngsbury is that he caused the
county to pay the attorney fee incur
red by him in habeas corpus pro-
ceeding before the supreme court. The
fee, which was paid to the firm of
I:nlmes. Stanley & Olson, amounted TO
ssh, and was paid by warrant, author
lied by the Judge, on the county of
Maui, IL is alleged. Attorney Murphy
holds that this is q clear case of NAL
feasanee. as the county authorities had
not given him permission to employ
-. In, kha . ha
OF the county. -
The case of Lucy Akiona All Sam,
which has attracted the attention of
the supreme court before, is brought
up again as the basis of a charge. The !
person was a delinquent child and was
in the Malulani hospital.
Judge Kingsbury, in an affidavit, is
declared to have denied that he took |
Sny action in the case, or was, con-
cerned in the removal OF the girl. AL
certified copy of this affidavit is filed a,
with a counter one made by Sister He
Iene of the hospital. who swears that
the child was placed in the hospital at
the instance and under the direction |
Of Judge Kingsbury.
Attorney Murphy wishes the su-
preme court to investigate into his
charges. If he refuses, he says he will |
90 on to Washington and there prose-
cute his case against the judge, who,
he says, he will get"
The payment of the $50 attorney fee
and the affidavit in the Lucy Akiona |
Ar Sam case seems to make up the
gist Of the charges. Murphy brands |
the $50 transaction as a misappropria-
ton of county funds to the judges own
uses, and the other as an af- ,
fidavit untrue in many of it's affirma-
tons
