Cooper Slayer
Saves His Neck
John Gina, Confessed Murderer, Is
Allowed To Plead Guilty To Sec
Ond Degree Murder-InSanity De-
fense Is Feared

To clear the criminal calendar of
the circuit court, it was necessary to
have only two jury trials, and one of
these was an appeal case from the dis
trict court. Most of the defendants
plead guilty, among whom was John
Ginza, the confessed slayer of George
Cooper of Hama.
Attorney Murphy was appointed as
counsel for the Japanese, and he Of
fered to have his client enter a plea
of murder in the second degree.
County Attorney Bevins agreed to ac-
cept this plea, which was done. AL
most Immediately Judge Edings SEN
fenced Ginza to life Imprisonment in
the Oahu prison. Ginza was taken
to Honollu to begin serving his SEN
the following day.
The acceptance of a plea of second
degree murder was something of
surprise, as it was thought that the
county attorney would refuse TO ac-
cept it, Also, some believed that
Ginza's attorney would make an in
sanity defense. 1t was partly on ac-
count of the belief that it would be
impossible to secure a conviction of
first degree murder, that Ginza was
allowed to plead guilty to a lesser
charge, it is said. The physicians
who examined Gina, it was thought,
would have testified that it was pos
sible his brain had been effected when
he was a child by hard fall. The
Japanese has large cavity in his
forehead as the result of the fall.
Ginza killed the Hama bookkeeper
a little over a month ago after lying
in wait for him all night. His mo-
tive was five year old grudge over
a small sum of money of which he
thought he had been defrauded.
Francis B. White, an American of
Dutch decent, who before his arrest
for passing forged writing posed as a
federal inspector of hulls and boilers,
plead guilty and was sentenced to six
months imprisonment and to pay a
fine of twenty dollars.
Julio Santos and Antoine Garcia, a
Spaniard and Porto Rican, who had
knife and razor fight, were both fined
fifty dollars, after pleading guilty to
assault.
The first criminal jury trial was of
Frank Mendes, Filipino indicted for
having sexual intercourse with Pu-
unene Portuguese girl under fifteen
years of age. The trial occupied most
of Monday, during which one of the
small sensations was the reading of a
letter which the mother had written
to the defendant. The Filipino was
found guilty and sentenced to not less
than three years Imprisonment.
In the appeal case of Ten York,
charged with having opium in his pos
session, the appeal was dismissed and
the fine of $100 upheld

WIDOW GETS INSURANCE

By a directed verdict, it was held
in the circuit court yesterday that a
life insurance of S1,700 should be paid
to Mrs. Maria Carvalho, by Honolu-
lu Portuguese benevolent society. The
litigation arose because the adult
children of her deceased husband, by a
former wife, had claimed the insur-
ance because she was living apart
from her husband at the time of his
death. 1t was not proven at the trial
that this was through any fault of
hers. ID. H. Case represented the wild
ow and Attorney Murphy the children
of the deceased. A. ID. Castro of Ho-
nolulu came to Wailuku to also repre-
sent the society.

License Transfer
Is Granted Today

At a session of the Maui Liquor
License Commissioners today in the
Town Hall, the transfer of the All MIN
restaurant license at Waihei to All HUI
was approved, after a hearing. This
was after an agreement had been
reached between w. R. Crockett, ad-
ministrator of the All MIN estate, who
also applied for a transfer. All Hu's
application was for another license.
The agreement between the administr-
ator and All Hu is understood to have
been the payment of $170 to the estate
for the liquor now in stock.
The Grand Hotel made application
for the privilege of keeping an ice
chest with beer on the lawn of the
hotel, from which customers could be
served at the tables in the yard The
commissioners frowned upon the ap-
plication, making it plain they did not
favor serving liquor away from the
hotel building. The Grand Hotel then
withdrew it's application, before the
request was voted upon.

CONFIRMED TESTIMONY
The Kind That Langdon Readers Cannot
For a Moment Doubt

Doan's kidney pills have stood the
test; the test of time, the hardest test
of all thousands gratefully testify to
quick relief, to lasting results. Lang
don readers can no longer doubt the
evidence; It's convincing testimony
twice told, and we'll confirmed. Lang
don readers should profit by these
experiences.
Mrs. John Crawford, Langdon, says ::
''I suffered for couple of years from
a more or less steady, dull pain in the
small of my back and across my kid
neys. Mornings when l got up, l
felt stiff and lame across my loins,
and the least exertion tired me. l
was subject to dizzy spells and head
aches and had symptoms which show
ed my kidneys were in disordered
condition. In fact, my doctor told me
my kidneys were badly affected. l
finally used Doan's kidney pills and
less than three and half boxes ban
ished all the trouble with my back
and restored my kidneys to healthy,
normal condition.
Over two years later, Mrs. Craw-
ford said: "Doan's kidney pills cured
me of kidney trouble and l haven't
