CAN INSANE. MAN
; COMMIT CRIME !
Question Arises In Case OF Gus
Anderson, Convicted YeSter-
day BY Jury

Described n n man which the law
furnished 10y Judge Ashford in his in
structiOns to til" jury anil based on the
Testimony offered by the government
itself, Gus Anderson was found guilty
yesterday of an indecent assault on an
Okinawa woman, both defendant and
star witness haIling from the other
side of the island.
Judge AndrHde, HhO defended Adder
son, excepted to the verdict and gave
notice of notion for new trial, winch
will he heard on Monday. The prosccu
ton proved, Judge Andrade maintained,
that his client was insane. How, then.
could the jury flu an insane man guilty
of crime, he wanted to know.
DR.. W. A. Schwnllie, superintendent
of the local insane asylum, proved n
the witness stand, through the records
of his institution, that Anderson had
been committed several years ago as
insane by Judge Anirade, who was then
district magistrate Of Honolulu. Judge
Andrade had even forgotten the DC
eurnenee.
The superintendent further testified
hh"b oOi hd' 'Nth Hdi
but that he had not been discharged
,as cured of his insanity. lie was not
considered violent aud was parolel on
this ground. In law, however, Amber
son must be regarded ~ insane, 80
he has not been fully discharged,
claims Andra lie.
The trial lasted three full DAYS, the
jury being out over four hours in ar.
irving at its verdict. Anderson was
charged with an intent to commit a
statutory offense. The jury had the
option of finding him guilty of the
original charge, the charge he was eOn-
yieted on yesterday, of simple assault
mi battery, or Of dischargipg him. In
the instructions of the court the ordi.
lary layman saw an implied directjO
that if Anderson should be found
guilty on any charge land insane
should have accompanied the verdict.
Judge Ashford may, if he sees fit
order the verdict set aside, or he may
order n new trial. In the event O.
neither of these solutions being brOugh'
about the question of whether or not
an insane man may be found guilty
of crime will probably be submitted by

(From Sunday Advcrtiser)

The Hon. w. NJ. Hughes, premier of
Australia, was n passenger in the
CANADIAN Australasian steamer Makura,
which arrived here yesterday morning
from the south and departed at noon for
Victoria and Vancouver. -E-
1t was reported aboard ship that the
prime minister would go to London to
attend conference OF the prem.er on
the British EmpiTe-the imperial confer
cnce. TO officers of the Makura, Pre-
mier Hughes would not admit that he
even was going to London. To report
ers he would say nothing. ae
II was reported on the Makura that
the premier had giyer out in Sydney,
whittier he had gone from Melbourne,
that he would sail for London via Suez
IN the steamer Osterley; hat he had
left Sydney in special train, osten.
slbly for Adelaide; that towns along
the road that arranged receptions were
disappointed, for he left the train and
boarded the MakuFa at Watson s Bay,
near Sydney, the liner having been
ordered to wait and take him from a
launch. In spite of these reports, the
name appeared plainly in the passenger
list as Hon. w. NJ. Hughes. -
There was considerable secrecy about
his presence on board the Makura, or
attempts at secrecy, rather. 1t was re.
ported that the premier was put out be.
cause news of his arrival had preceded
him by radiOgram. He was met at the
dock by British subjects, resident in
Honolulu, who accompanied him about
the city. One of these HonOlulaus lie
MED to a reporter that he knew Hughes
at all, although he had just said fare
well to him. To another reporter
he did not deny, hut grew violent when
asked whether he knew what business
had called Premier Hughes to Lon,lon.
The Australian premier is small
man, very deaf He is accompanied
ny his wife, an infant child, and divers
secretaries, etc. They, in common with
others, made comic efforts to maintain
ponderOus secrecy. -.
