Judge Ashford casually remarked in
court this morning. during discussion
regarding the cancelling of John T.
Scully's bonds, referring to Edward
Hunt, who, with Fred Kiley, stood
surety for Scully to the tune of about
$500 some months ago, that Hunt is
out of the territory" and "has dis.
posed of his property here"
Hunt is not out of the territory
and has not disposed of his property"
retorted Attorney Leon NJ. Straus. He
owns property here valued at about
$4,000. He sold just enough of it to
warrant his having good time in San
Francisco" he continued in effect.
AdVices received by the Star-Bulle-
tin from San Francisco recently are
that Hunt is being sought by the man
agement Of the Stewart hotel.
1t was further reported that Hunt
had shipped on a steamer bound for
Honolulu. Various federal and terri
torial officials declare they have not
seen Hunt since his departure from
Honolulu. Kali. T."
