The island quintet are expected to
give testimony relative to incidents IN
connection with the visit OF the Nav

KIebahn today confirmed the rumor
that he was called to San Francisco,
when inquiry was made Of him by a
Star-5uIIetin reporter. -.
In the subpoena served on Mr.. KIe-
balm, he is cited to appear in San
Francisco and bring all the books
showing tbs mourning Of accounts by
the Maverick while in Hilo.
The summons was issued in San
Francisco by the federal authorities,
and was served yesterday by U. S.
Marshal J. ]. Smiddy.
When seen at noon today Klebahn
frankly admitted that he had been
called to San Francisco as witness
in the Maverick case and ordered to
bring the books showing the accounts
of the steamer while in Hilo for 10
days in September, 1915.
These books had to be secured from
the Hilo branch of Hackfeld & Co.
They arrived here on the Mauna Kea
this morning, he says. 49,
1t is assumed that the reason for
summoning the local Hackfeld ship
ping man is because the San Fran
cisco officials believe he was more
familiar with the money drawn, and
purchases made by the officers of the
Maverick than G. Castendyk, manager
of the Hilo branch of Hackfeld & Co.
1t was at Hilo that the mystery ship"
Maverick went after failing to meet
the supposed "gun-runner" Annie Lar
sen, a schooner, off Mexico.
The Maverick after leaving Hilo in
1915 went to Batavia and was in
