UT Victor Norgaard, territorial vet

judges of livestock at the Maui Coun-

forestry. The report is generally ex-

Startling Disclosure Slayer OF
Child Held For ManSlaughter

Fernandez Plansei, the Porto Rican
whose random-fred bullet passed
through the walls of neighborlng
house and killed little 3-year old Flo
ra Gouveia, will have to answer for his
earelessness to a charge at man
slaughter. His trial will probably
take place at the March term of cir
cult court. Under tht law he may be
sentenced to as high as five years
Imprisonment or fined $4,000.
A coroners' inquest was held in the
case on Wednesday of this week, at
Hamakuapoko, the scene of the pitt
full tragedy The jury in finding that
the baby's death had been caused by
Plansei's shot insisted that clause
demanding his punishment be insert

this finding is as follows:
"That Flora GOuveia came to her
death through a bullet passing thro-
ugh the brain causing meningitis,
pistol being fired by one Fernandez
Plansei with no intent to murder
Furthermore that he be punished for
earring deadly weapons and gross
carelessness in discharging this gun
promiscuously." The coroner's jury
consisted of II. d. Sloggett, j. J. Cor
rell p. Keliiaa, d. X Morton, Jro j.
X. Uu, and Joe Rocha.
Plansei made a full confession at

THE SLEEPING CAR

HE sleeping car is one of the
greatest of American inven-
tions. 1t enables the corpora
lions to work us while we sleep.
The sleeping car Is filled with
beautiful plush seats which are
made more uncomfortable at night
by being turned into berths. There
are ordinarily twenty berths and
each berth will hold one and three
tfths persons and a peck of cinders.
The berths are divided into upper
and lower berths respectively The
lower berths were much more popu-
lar because of their proximity to the
floor until the Interstate Commerce
Commission lowered the rates on
the uppers, after which it was dis
covered that the long, hard climb to
the upper berth is very beneficial
and assists in producing sleep.
To utilize sleeping car you must
pay about 50 a night. Seventy
five cents of this is for the use of
the car, the blankets and the pill
lows, and the rest is for the use of
the beautiful wood carving and in
laying with which the car Is deco
rated. If you have rented a lower
berth, you will find on the inside a
small hammock large enough to hold
No. shoe on an A last. Into this
you may place your clothes, your
overcoat. your hat and your valise,
reserving your pocket handkerchief
for additional bed covering. If you
rent an upper berth, yon must as
cend by means of ladder Climb
ing to the top of this. you take hold
of the curtain rail with one hand
and the outer ring Of Saturn by the
other and draw yourself up until
you can clasp one leg about the
berth chain next to the wall. You
then retreat gradually into the
berth sideways. after which the por-
fer takes away your shoes in order
to have evidence against you in the

severe.
At last feeble call from below an
nounced to those above that the Sec
ond wire rope had been passed through
the ring. To the ends of these ropes
those on deck passed heavy chains,
which the convict shackled in place,
and when this was done he was drawn
up.
As he appeared above the taffrail
shout was raised. But he did not hear
1t. The moment his work was done
he tainted. Liquor was poured down
his throat, and he was hurried below.
There he was stripped of his soaked
clothing and put into hot blankets.
While he had been at his work men
on deck had dashed a boom across the
poop, projecting on each side The
rudder chains were passed through
pulley blocks at each end of the beam
and around drum made by boarding
over the stearing gear The moment
the ends of the chains were attached
to the ring the rudder was made serv-
iceable, and the ship was turned from
the white line where now, but mile
away, the mad waves were tossing
their heads as If disappointed at losing
their prey.
When Turner came on deck again he
was dressed In a suit of the first mates
clothes, and every one pushed forward
to grasp his hand and shower bless
ings upon him. Each and every per-
son vowed not to betray him, and
some suggested means of obtaining a
pardon. But Turner told them that he
preferred to remain aboard the ship,
which, after touching at New York,
was to sail for a foreign land. So
great was his dread Of a return to
prison that he determined to lose him
self in a country where he would not
be known.
Under the improvised steering gear
the ship weathered the gale and made
her way to Philadelphia, where she
put In for repairs, and her passengers,
going ashore, took land route to their
different destinations. Before leaving
the ship they held a meeting and col
lected a considerable sum to be paid
the man who had saved their lives.
But when they came to turn the gift
over to him he declined it, saying that
he did not need money beyond what he
might be supplied with from friends
who knew him to be innocent of any
crime and who would gladly furnish
him with all his necessities.
Turner remained aboard the vessel
during her stay at Philadelphia and
while she touched at New York. He
occupied cabin of one of the mates,
where he kept himself hidden while
the ship was In port. Then when her
PROV was turned eastward he came
out and rejoiced in being once more
free man.
Years after the convict's escape the
person who had perpetrated the crime
for which Turner had been ilnprison-
ed, on promise of indemnity, owned
himself to be the guilty party Then
Turner accepted pardon.
