Caught In the Act
Copper Thief g."
Admits His Crime

Joe Kauehua is said by the ,detec-
'tives to have been cnusat in the act of
carrying away copper from the pier
piles of the harbor, Piers Is and 16 be-
ing the scene of the depredations. An
other native man named Wahilani is
said to have confessed to completely in
the job. y#r.: ...........
The mystery as to where Chief of De-
tectives McDuffie has been of a night
for the past three weeks is cleared up
by the arrest of Kalehua Contrary

island defending the domino champion
ship held by him, but has been watch.
ing for the shippers of-ithe red metal
from the harbbr pier piles.
Reports had come in that the copper
was mysteriously disappearing from
Piers Is and 10, but at first McDuffie
was loath to blame any human agency
for the theft. He was Of the opinion
that the metal might have been nibbled
away by some strong-toothed fish.
However, he set watch, and for the
past three weeks has had his Official
eye peeled for those piles.
Saturday night Kalehua was caught
coming from the wharf with sack of
copper slung over his shoulder. He is
said to have confessed that he has
been making a living off copper for
quite time past. ia. ......
Kalehua g story was IN the nature OF
an eye-Opener to the detectives. He is
said to have told McDufie that he and
his associates stripped the piles In
broad daylight; operating from small
boat under the wharves. He says, ia
cetiously, that this plan of action
suited him best for a couple reasons
one of which was thar the work could
be done more easily by daylight, the
other being that with the detectives
watching the wharves every night hi
and his helpers felt perfectly assured
that no one would jump their CLAIM
when they were not on the job.
MrDuffic says mat this is the FRS
time that he ever heard Of thiever
stealing copper from piles in broaC

berries of this sort are brought to hi
attention he win bear the present ex
perience well in mind. ,...i
