II. Fischer, in which a jury in Judge
Ashford's court acquitted Scully and
Chiffon, the charge against Fischer haV.
ing dropped prior to the trial of the
case. Hieshima, who had been a bar,
tender at Scuhy $ then notorious Wal
Xxi Inn, was witness for the prose
cution.
Was Committed For Per jury
While testifying in the witness stand
is claimed, with statements he had pre-.
viously made to the prosecution, that
he was then and there committed by
Judge Ashford to the territorial grand
jury for perjury. He was later indict.
ed by the grand jury, but his case, like
that of many others charged with cri.
minal Offenses of one kind and another
is hanging up in mid-ar somewhere
within tho precincts of the judiciary
building. This, in itself. cannot be said
to go against the defendant. The fact
is that, while under Indictment. HE.
Shima has never been tried and whcth,
er he is innocent or guilty of the crime
