The mother and the smaller boy,
Kama, aged 8, arose about z O'Clock,
had breakfast and went down the hill
to the Kamaka home, near the Makiki
road. There they joined George when
| he returned from Moiliili about s
o'clock.
Boys Go TO Home
The mother and her two SONS Wis
tied at the Kamaka place for about
an hour until Chinese pOi-peddleT
who supplies that district came ny,
when she bought two sacks Of poi
and sent her boys with the food to
their home, telling them TO return
and transfer their belongings later.
The Ksnoa family had spent only
one night in the cottage where the
tragedy occurred. having moved there
just the day before from Moiliili.
When her sons did not return for
some time Mrs. Kanoa wondered what
was the trouble aud sent Kamaka, the
Hawaiian man, to call out to them.
He went as far as the Keawekane
home tabout half way) and called to
the boys. When he received no an
swer he came beck to Mrs. Kanoa in
stead Of going on to the house, and
told her something must he wrong as
they did not reply.
f6-Year-Oid keaWi Appears
Thinking that possibly the boys
had gone back to sleep, Mrs. Kanoa
Immediately started for home and a
short distance past the Keawekane
home she was joined by the young
fellow, Keawi Keawekane, now under
arrest, who appeared to her to be
excited but who merely said that he
was going swimming down to the
beach with the boys that morning and
would go along with her.
Keawekane's first suspicious move
came when he suddenly cried out, &C
cording to Kellett's Interpretation of
the mothers story, as they approached
the Kanoa home:
.Look. Quick! There's some one
running away from your place with
an ax!n
Mrs. Kanoa says she looked but saw
no such person and tearing that
something had happened to her boys,
tried to hurry towards the house but
was TSrA hlucQ Wy hCoWL WhOB ohC
says. tried to induce her TO go back.
When she refused to do so she says
he darted on rhead and sprang into
the house. ~. -...:..
Heard Queer Sounds
Mrs. Kanoa was now nearly out of
breath from the climb mp the steep
slope and could so little faster. She.
heard strange sound as II some one
were jumping up and down on the
board floor inside her little cabin.
she made rush to the door and saw
Keawekane With his hand on the ak
that was sunk in the smaller boys
head. He said afterwards he was
trying 10 pull It out. Seeing the moth
ier looking at him he sprang out,
clutched her by the arm and cried:
Lets call the policels
Deputy Sheriff Asch was the first
to arrive and after him came Nc
Duffie. Together they questioned the
boy. who first said he had seen some
one leasA the house. later said the

SETTLEMENT OF
PUUNUI TONIGHT?

After several weeks delay the
beard of supervisors will be called
upon at its meeting this evening to
decide on an outlet for Puunui district.
The two principal outlets being dis
cussed are Circle Drive. backed by
the City Planning Commission, and
the residents of PUunui, and Hawaii
street extension. backed by the Coun-
try Club, George Sherman and Henry
Holmes.
At present the board seems about
evenly divided with leaning towards
Circle Drive. Robert Homer does
not want either but has a plan Of his
own which is a modification Of Circle
Drive. Larsen has come out flat-foot-
ed for Hawaii Holifnger refuses to
say but it is expected he will vote
for Circle Drive as win Arnold. Lo-
gan does not care for either street but
at the showdown will probably side
with Arnold. Both Hatch and AHA
will not talk but their feelings seem
to run towards straight road.
Since the last hearing two weeks
ago both sides have been preparing
diligently for. the fray this evening
and II what has gone before is any
Indication, It Will be anything but a
peaceful session.
Hotel Street Plans Also r
Another important matter which is
scheduled for this evening is the
proposed plan OF widening Hotel
street at Fort Because everybody,s
eyes have been turned towards the
Puunui fight this project has received
scant attention and it is not known
whether any protest petitions have
been circulated. However, II the plan
already brought before the board is
objected to, George Collins, county
engineer, has two alternative plans
ready. The assessment per front foot
is high and for that reason there may
be few protests: - -
The board viii also. be asked to
pass on the bids for city supplies for
the next six months. They were
opened last Friday and have been tab
uiated by the purchasing agent. The
bids for the burying of the city's in
digent dead win also be up for &C
ceptance. E 44 81

woman had seen two men. still later
was not so sure LHey had seen anyone
and finally admitted he had seen nc
one.
II Keawekana is guilty. his father
! and mother are awares OF il and are
trying to shield him, according TO the
police, for the woman insists her son
was with her every minute OF the
morning or down below at the Kama
ka house, and tells also Of seeing two
strangers leaving the Kanoa house
which can be seen from her place. The
father, on the other hand, appeared
nervous and uncertain when cues.
toned yesterday and continually tried
to turn the line Of inquiry from his
son to other details.
No known Motive -.
So far the, police can find no mo
tive for the crime. They believe Kea'
wekane is half-Witted and propose TO
learn Of ali his actions yesterday
morning, before he is freed. The pris-
oner is credited with having worked
for the gas company but neither the
chief nor the gas company officials
know anything OF this. Neither does
the chief know that he has been in
the reform school although Kellett
says Keawekane was at one time ar
rested for robbery and later dis
charged.
One Of the interesting sidelights on
the, case which causes the police to
suspect Keawekane is Mrs. Kanoa's
story that the boy came down to Ka-
maka's place IN the morning and
changed his clothes shortly after the
tragedy probably took place. When
McDufffe asked keawekane's mother
for the other clothes he found that
they had been recently washed.
keawekane had blood on his feet,
trouser cuffs and shoulder. The lower
blots he says he received when he
went into the cabin to find the boys
dead and the shoulder mark he claims
he received from the mother when she
franticaIly clutched him after she had
touched the bodies. -.-...-.-
Through all the questioning at the
scene of the murder the suspected boy
seemed to assume an air Of indifferent
defiance. He answered their ques-
lions in a rambling, uncertain way
and often contradicted himself.
The first sight Asch had of the
bodies showed them both In about
the center of the little room, the
smaller boy with his feet toward the
door with three cuts In his head. the
big axe stiiI sticking in one, and the
larger boy lying with his feet at the
brothers head with one great cash
in the top Of his head and the smaller
axe lying near him.

eye put out by heron he caught on

The boy spied the bird standing
after the custom of .herons, on one leg

In spite of his pain, young Hoffman
