ESCAPED PRISONER MAKES
FIGHT AGAINST CAPTURE

Francisco Avilla, Porto Rican,
serving a sentence for assault with a
weapon, a member of a gang of pris-
cners, employed in cleaning up Kapi-
olani Park. made good his escape this
morning, and several searching par
ties made up of territorial and city
and county peace officers some hours
later came upon the hiding-place, of
the man, who was recaptured after a
struggle.
Sensational to a degree is said to
nave been the manner in which Avil-
la eluded the watchfulness of his
guards. The man was numbered with
delegation of Iong-term prisoners
and upon arrival at the grounds he
was detailed to set an improvised
camp in order, for the days duties
at the park. +
1t is believed that through confed-
crate concealed in an adjoining THO
ket, Avilla was provided with suit
OF clothes in which he quietly saun-

caught a city-bound electric car. .

JURY IS
COMPELLED TO
SERVE IN rain
McCarn Loses Fight Against
Visit to Barn-Defendant
Placed on Stand

With heads barred TO the drizzling
rain that came down the slopes OF
Punchbowl this morning, ~ good men
and true stood lined before little
yellow barn on Prospect street while
u. S. District Judge c. F. Clemens
called his court TO order and began
the formal inspection OF the locality
in which George A. Bert" Bower is
alleged to have committed a statutory
crime with Victoria Mortenson year
ago. ! s'..s.: Il
This was perhaps the most spectac-
ular feature of the bitterly fought
trial in federal court, and it was a
feature against which u. S. District
Attorney Jeff McCarn fought sternly
80 sternly in fact, that he refused
to accompany the jury on its tour of
inspection until the judge informed
him that court would be held on the
scene and his presence in court was
demanded. -@
Today's trial also was featured by
the opening of the defense's case and
the testimony of Bower, wherein he
denied virtually every material ale
CATION set forth in the evidence of
Victoria Mortenson, the Biart girls
and Mrs. Oldbury
In substance, he said he was an old
friend of the Mortenson and Evans
families. that he had known Mrs. Gar
vie-Evans, widow of the late Alexan-
der CARVE, for sixteen or seventeen
years, and that he had frequently driv-
en- members of the family about the
city in the last eighteen months. The
friendship reached the stage of inti-
macy, he said in answer TO questions
by Attorney Douthitt, where he invar-
iably greeted with .osculatory salute
whoever happened to meet him at the
door of the Evans home when he call
ed there. He had kissed Mrs. Hans
Mortenson, the mother of Victoria, had
kissed Mrs. Garvie-Evans, and Victo-
ria, as we'll as the younger members
of the family.
He admitted taking Victoria to the
Waikiki Inn and to the Seaside hotel
and buying drinks for her. But he
did so, he said, at her request. The
drink was gin and peppermint, which
she took because of stomach trouble.
He denied absolutely any immoral
relations with the girl, either in his
car at Spencer and Kapiolani streets,
at Kapiolani and Prospect, in the little
yellow barn or elsewhere.
He explained the incident of the
barn episode, to which Mrs. Oldbury
testified yesterday, by saying that it
was quite customary to drive up the.
hin via Hackfeld street, because the
grade was not so steep as on Kapio-
lani, to leave his car at that corner
and then enter the Evans premises
through the barn as the shortest route.
He could do this only when Victoria
Mortenson, the Japanese servant or
some other member of the household
was there to open the barn door, how
ever.
