Aims SUSPENDED SENTENCE
-fIonoInlu, December 5. lale.

Honolulu, December s, 1916.
Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: In this mornings Issue of the
Advertiser appears an editorial under
the heading. Aims Suspended Sen.
tence.. which feel Is unfair TO this
office and also to AhiH.
The facts are briefly these: Ahin
and III others were last week indict-
ed by the grand jury Of this circuit in
connection with the recent grand jury
Investigation OF Iwilei conditions. The
special report filed by the grand jury
at that time recommended a suspen-
sion Of sentence in all Of those cases
where the defeadants plead guilty and
showed disposition or declared their
intention not 10 again violate the law.
This course has been followed by
this office in all OF the cases coming
before Judge Ashford as result of
such indictments.
The same course was followed in the
case of Y. Ahin.
Ahin, In open court Wednesday
morning, expressed his desire to plead
guilty, even though certain attorneys
had endeavored to secure a continu-
ance OF the meter In order that GER
tain arrangements might be made in
regard 10 his transferring his property
at Iwilei to others and afterwards Sc
curing a dismissal of the case against
him. Snch a continuance was not OPP
posed by this office, but was opposed
by Ahin in open court.
- uyoc r,ao6o hv Ahfr
at that time that he had gotten rid or
all Of his Objectionable tenants and
did not propose to allow his property
to be used for such purposes in the
future. Upon this assurance the pro-
secution moved, in view OF the plea OF
guilty, in view Of the recommendation
OF the grand jury and Aims assur..
ance as to the future use Of his prop
erty, that sentence be suspended for
the term OF is months, which motion
was granted by the court.
In fairness to Y. Ahin should like
to say further that the insinuations
against him as being connected with
operations are absolutely
false and unfonndcd.
certainly am in a position to
know those persons whom rumor con-
meets with gambling operations in Ho-
nolulu at present or in the past, and
certainly Y. Ahin is not, nor has he
been one OF them.
The Advertiser apparently has Y.
Ahin confused with some other China
man whose name is somewhat SINH
lar.
In fairness to this office for its ac-
ton taken in connection with these
I&ilei matters, and in fairness to r.
Ahin. trust you will publish this
statement
The prompt action taken By This
office in the case OF Rosie Wilson this
morning should be sufficient answer
to the fhinly yelled attack on the good
faith Of this office and of the detecr4
tive department with regard to the
carrying out Of the grand jury's recon-
