LOCAL GERMAN
TOAPPEAR AT
BERG INQUEST

With the report this morning that
German employed by one OF the
leading institutions of the city, whose
name is withheld by request, will ap-
pear tomorrow at the second hearing
of the inquest on the death Of Miss
Adherence Berg, former Queens hos
spital nurse whose death followed a
criminal operation.
More significance is attached to the
fact learned by the Star-Bulletin yes
terday-that suspicious concerning the
parentage of the child have conferred
around a German officer at Schofield
and that efforts had been made by
local Germans to shield him.
Five army men including one cap
tain. one lieutenant, one chaplain, and
two sergeants, will also appear at the
inquest
Suspicious surrounding a former
officer of the Geier, now the Carl
Schurz. will probably como 70 light
in the inquest tomorrow afternoon.
The appearance of the local German
and the army men have a direct
bearing, 1t is believed, on the new
turn in the investigation which was
revealed yesterday.
In the army investigation of Capt
John Ludy's connection with the
kfBerg case. it was discovered that sew
Ieral letters bearing upon Miss Bergs
condition had passed between Miss
Berg and the German officer at Soho
field. and through the censor, who
later conveyed the information OF
what he had read to the authorities.
1t was further said that in this con-
nection, Germans of Honolulu had
been involved in an effort TO protect
the man.
Y The German officer held under sus-
picion will probably be retained in
the islands when the prisoners are
shipped from Honolulu next week, il
the expected discoveries warrant it.
Albert Kauae has been appointed
ianitor of Pohukaina school in place
