/. WAlLUkU, Maui, Jan. 3.-George
HUI, the confessed double killer OF
Hama, was brought to Waikiki by the
Clandine on Wednesday and lodged
In Jail. Sheriff Crowell, who went to
Hama last Saturday and held an in.
quest over the two victims, did not
bring the murderer back, owing to the
fact that, with the stimulus OF LIQUOR
gone, he had utterly collapsed and was
in no shape to make the trip In q
small sampan. 49,.
He made q clean breast Of the whole
horrible affair. His only excuse Is
that he was drunk. He set fire to
his house because he believed he had
killed Joseph Puhihale In the fight
earlier in the evening and thus sought
to cover up his crime. He did not
know that his 10-year-old son, Henry,
was asleep In the house, and the death
Of the boy has completely broken the
father, now that mis- mind Is In con-
dition to appreciate the enormity OF
his crime.
Almost Q Third Victim
Il was not Hu's fault that q third
victim was not claimed by his insane
act. A native named Publ, who had
been in the party, but who had crawl
ed under bed in the house and gone
to sleep, was aroused by the heat or
the fire, but in time to make his
escape uninjured. The boy, who fol-
lowed q little later, with his clothing
in flames, was caught by Publ and the
blaze extingpished, but not before he
had been fatally burned.
Crime Of Demon
The story az Sheriff Crowell learned
1t from HUI and from others who wit
messed phases OF the affair Is as fol-
lows:
HUI, who was road laborer for the
county. had been at work on Wednes-
day OF last week, returning home be-
tween 4 and o'clock A bunch OF
jewellers was at bis house and he was
persuaded to have a drink or two with
