anG Kamakaia to witness her sigma
ture to the will, and that she spent
the morning searching for them. She
got kealoha, she says, and late IN the
morning kamakaia came 10 her house
and she asked him TO go with her TO
Washington Place, which, according to
her story. he did.
She says the queen vas sitting in
wheel chair, dressed in a japanese
robe, and that Kamakaia knelt on the
floor and held up book while the
queen signed each page Of the alleged
will. AS witnesses kealoha signed
first and kamahala next, she says.
The pen used was fountain pen, she
says. the property of Representative
James Jarrett, from whom she Dor
rowed it for the occasion.
After the attorneys for J. F. Col
burn. named as executor in the alleged
1917 will, learned that Kamakaia was
weakening in his former statements
as to having witnessed the queens
signature. he and Kealoha were cross
examined kealoha is said to have
declared that his affidavit. Ill which
he said he witnessed the signature,
was true.
Kamakaia. however, repudiated his
first affidavit and swore to another in
which he declared he signed his name
to the alleged will at 1heresas home,
and not in the presence Of the queen.
While the interview with Kealoha
was in progress Kamakaia is said to
have sought private talk with one OF
the attorneys, but was told to wait UNI
til later. In the presence Of the at
torneys kamakaia is alleged to have
said he had dream and vision OF
God, in which he was warned to tell
the truth. 1t was following this state
ment that he swore to the new atf1'
davit
After the new affidavits had been
secured the attorneys filed them with
Clerk Henry Smith at his home late
Saturday afternoon, withdrawing the
alleged 1917 will from probate. Col
burn also filed an affidavit asking to
be allowed to withdraw as executor.
1t is probable that the will may be
withdrawn from probate and Colburn
discharged as executor unless the
court demands an inv estigation. The
alleged 1917 will and the will Of 1909
are scheduled to be heard next Friday
on petition for probate.
