STEVENSON MAY
BE PROSECUTED
in LOWER COURT
City Attorney Says Territorial
Grand Jury May Not Be
Asked to Investigate

That the case of Frank L. Stevenson,
former foreman at the Schuman Car
riage Company, who was arrested
shortly after noon yesterday on a
charge of embezzlement, probably will
not be taken before the territorial
grand jury and thence into circuit
court, is the opinion Of City Attorney
A. NJ Brown. as expressed today.
Stevenson returned to Honolulu in
the, Wilhelmina yesterday, his arrest
following complaint made by Gustav
Schuman, owner of the carriage COM
pany, 1t being alleged that Stevenson,
while acting as collector for the COM
pany, embezzled funds amounting to
about $500.
City Attorney Brown says that, from
what he has been able to learn, there
probably were two or three hundred
separate entertainments of small
amounts.
sWe may pick out one of the items
and, on the strength of it, prosecute
Stevenson in the police court, said
the city attorney.
A statement given the Star-Bulletin
yesterday to the effect that he has had
this particular case under investiga-
ton during the last month, was re-
iterated by Mr. Brown today. He de-
cided to await Steyenson's return to
Honolulu before taking action in the
matter, he said.
Late this afternoon Stevenson was
still held In jail, and apparently no eff
fort is being made to get bond, the
court not having been asked to fix
the amount of bail on which the man
might be released. 1t was intimated
this morning by those familiar with
the case that it would not come to
trial, but that the difference between
the Schuman company and Stevenson
would be settled out of court.
This morning Mrs. Stevenson was
a visitor to police headquarters and
held several conferences, which are
said to have been in regard to an ad-
justment.
