SPRING-PEDEN
ATTORNEYSFILE
LONG Demurrer
Seek to Dust indictment on
Ground There Are No Facts
to Constitute Crime
NOT CHARGED is
ONE POINT FOR DEFENSE

Nearly half a score of reasons why
the indictment returned against Miss
Dorothy Spring, tourist, and DIR. John
G. Peden, physician at the Queens
hospital, should be set aside, are con-
tanned in a demurrer which has been
filed in circuit court by the defend
ants.
The indictment against Miss Spring
and DIR. Peden charges them with hav-
ing failed to aid person injured by
an automobile. Mrs. George Herman
Moore died at the Queens hospital
a week ago last Monday as a result
of being struck by machine driven
by Miss Spring. DR.. Peden was her
companion.
Both the defendants were sched-
uled to plead in Circuit Judge Ash
ford's court today. Upon the filing OF
the demurrer to the Indictment, the
case was continued until 8 o'clock
next Saturday morning, at which time
the demurrer will be argued.
The prosecution announced tooay
that Attorneys E. c., Peters and Ray
O'Bfien have been secured to assist
the city and county in the case.
NO intent Char9eo.
II is alleged in the demurrer that
the indictment against Miss Spring
and DR.. Peden does not state facts
sufficient to constitute crime under
the laws of the territory, in that it
does not charge any guilty intent on
the part of the defendants in doing or
not doing the acts alleged by the in
dictment. J.
The demurrer further alleges that
section 4102 of the revised laws or
Hawaii, under the provisions of which
the defendants. were indicted, and
which they are alleged to have yio-
lated, is unconstitutional and void for
the reason that ''it requires a person
to be a witness against herself''-or
himself-"in a criminal case in con-
travention with the provisions of arti-
Gle five of the amendments of the con-
stitution."
1t is further declared that the Sec
