The release on his own recognizance
by Police Judge Monsarrat of james
c. Warrington, fifth officer of the liner
Great Northern, who was arrested
yesterday on charge of non
support preferred by his wife, n il
the cause of q row which has
broken out between the Judge on one
side, and 1.-THE police department on the
other. Each side is INDUCING in re-
ordinations and charging the other
with dereliction Of duty.
= Warrington was placed under arrest
by Detective A. II. Carter a few min
utes before time for the Great North,
err to sail, and. was hurried to the
police court. There Judge Monsarrat
at the request, heNsays, of Prosecuting

turned the prisoner loose on his own
recognizance, Chillingworth offering 10
be responsible for the man s appear
anee in court on the occasion of the
next visit of the liner TO this port.

justice was done Warrington's pretty
part. Hawaiian wife who, they say, il
left practically destitute. " 80. -.
Meantime, Warrington, according "a
the police, failed to- catch his boat and
is still in Honolulu. ,@ "
Detective Carter is credited by Dep.
uty Sheriff Aseh with saying that
Warrington told him he was not coming
back to Honolulu, and that he I1ade
mistake in coming here on the Great
Northern and should have stayed in
San Francisco.
Warrington, according to Sheriff
Charles II. Rose, was, employed in Ho.
nolulu about two months ago by the
lnter-Island Steam Navigation Com.
pany, and at that time met young
part, Hawaiian girl who WAS living at
Kawaiahao seminary. Rose says he
lived with the girl until the Y. NJ. C. A.
authorities discovered that the couple
were not married and obliged them to
have ceremony performed. .-
Mrs Warrington came to me Sat.
urday," said the sheriff, "and com.
planned that her husband had refused
10 provide for her. and that since their
marriage he had given her only fifteen
dollars. advised her to swear TO a
warrant FOR his arrest for non support.
1 tried to locate Judge Monsarrat Sat.
urday and Sunday, but was unable to
get in touch with him. Monday the
girl came to the police station, and the
warrant was made out and taken to
Judge MOnsarrat, He did not call any
witnesses, but released the man with.
out any testimony. If the deputy
sheriif's clerk, Detective Carter, or nv
self had been called to the court we
could have explained the case, which
should have been enough evidence TO
detain Warrington. "
Judge Monsarrat passes the buck
back to the police de apartment. Like,
wise, he fatty cOntradicts statements
made by Rose and by Carter, and says
Carriers reputation for veracity does
not amount to much anyway.
IF the sheriff was so interested in
the case,' Judge Monsarrat said,
"why didn't he come into the court.

signed warrant for Warrington's ar.

request of his wife. She did not tell
me whether her husband was an officer

when the Great Northern returned to
Honolulu
"Had l known" the Judge added,
that Warrington had made state

that he would not return to Honolulu,
L certainly would have detained him.
AS matter of fact, ] doubt very much
II he ever made such statement to
Detective Carter. Besides, l must say
that Carriers reputation for veracity
is not of the best.

arresting officer in the case and it was
