THIRD HAWAII ISLAND
MURDERER SAVES NECK
Judge Quinn Sentences Leong
Wah Chong To TwentyYears

Another murderer in the Big Island
the third inside of a month, has been
allowed to plead guilty to murder in
the second degree, according to a wire
less message received here yesterday.
Leong Wah ChOng was sentenced in
Hilo on Monday by Circuit Judge
Quinn to not less than twenty years
imprisonment at hard labor, on his plea
If guilty to the charge of second de
gree murder.
Following a quarrel some months ago,
Leong entered the store of l.. All Hip,
Front and Church streets, and there
shot the proprietor, who was probably
the wealthiest Chinese merchant, cane
planter and contractor in the Big Isl,
and. All Hip died few days later
in the Hilo Hospital, from the wounds
received.
Attorney George A. Davis of Homo.
lulu defended Leong, on appointment
W Judge Quinn. On Davis advice,
his client pleaded guilty to the reduced
barge, thus saving any possibility of
being found guilty by jury of first,
lcgree murder, in which case death
would have been the penalty imposed
by the court.

As far as can at the present time be
done, the arrangements for the second
Hawaii county fair have been all fixed
up. The wharf has been secured for the
fair and that settles a most important
matter, The Kuhio wharf surely will
prove to be the right place for the big

to view everything in comfort. The
fair will be open on Friday, September
%, and will remain so until late hour
on Saturday evening, September 90

over Hawaii and the rest of the group
Secretary Allen Of the fair committee
is working hard on the prize lists. The
exhibits for which trophies, medals and
ribbons will be given number nearly
one thousand. The full lists will be
published in the near future.

81, when the fifth civic convention
opens, until the afternoon Of Septem-
The convention opens one day ahead of
the fair and lasts two days longer. The
delegates from all the civic organiza-
tons of the Territory are expected to
arrive in Hilo on the morning of Sep
TENDER 81. The Kauai. Oahu, Maui and
Kohala delegates should all arrive about
the same time, The Kona and Kau
delegates probably will come overland
and should beat the steamer r. it..
