Tells STORY OF
PAROLE.BREAKING
BY GERMAN HERE
Hindu Witness in San Francisco
Trial Says Officer Joined
Maverick at HIIo

That an officer from a German YES
sci interned at Honolulu broke parole
and went to Hilo TO join the mystery
vessel" Maverick was stated on the
witness stand in the San Francisco
India Case" trial by Hindu witness,
according to the San Francisco Bulle-
tin Of December IS. The Bulletin 5
article states:
"Charred fragments Of revolution
AIRY literature, recovered from the
barren shores OF Socorro Island of
the coast Of Lower California, were
introduced this morning while
Harcharan Das, government witness,
recounted the eventful cruise of the
steamer Maverick. The pamphlets
inciting Hindus to rebellion were
heaped in piles and burned when the
proximity of the United States war
ship alarmed the Mavericks crew, &C
cording to the witness.
Attorney Theodore Roche for the
defense, attacked statements Of the
Hindu during his cross-eXamination.
Das denied he had discussed testi-
mony with other government wit
nesses. He declared he bore the de-
PENDANTS no ill-will but wished to
tell his countrymen they were being
deceived by revolutionary leaders.
The adventures of the Hindus and
Germans on board tlfe Maverick an
the voyage across the Pacific to Java
formed interesting portions Of Das'
testimony.
Failed to Meet Ship
Failure to meet the schooner Annie
Larsen at Sicorro Island, where the
transfer OF arms and ammunition was
to have been made, according to the
prosecution, caused the plan Of the
Hindu plotters to go astray.
After waiting more than one month
at the barren island for the arrival of
the schooner the officers of the Nave
rick decided to put back into San Die
go, the witness explained. Upon ap-
preaching the Coronado Islands, he
said. the presence Of warships occa.
stoned a change in the plans and a
new course was made for Hawaii.
"Hilo, an island in the Hawaiian
group, was the next spot touched at
by the steamer, Das said. Here fresh
supplies of meat were taken on board.
The Hindu also declared that an OF.
ficer from a German vessel interned
at Honolulu also became a member Of
the crew.
From Hilo the cruise stretched to
Johnson Island, where another stop
was made, and quantities Of birds
eggs were collected for food.
The journey was then uninter-
rupted until Java was reached several
weeks later, landing being made on
the coast eighty miles from Batavia.
Das told the court that two Dutch gun
boats we're on hand to greet them. He
said that the Maverick was boarded
by officials of the Dutch government
who had been informed Of the alleged
plot to incite rebellion in India by
British officials. Under surveillance
of the Dutch man-of-war, the Maverick
continued to Batavia, where it was
again suD. .ected to a thorough search" 1"

SECOND LIEUTENANTS

them to be distinguished at times
