Defense Outlined y
.. Attorney Andrews said he would
show that Captain Allen had long been
a fesDected and law abiding citizen,
who had come, to Honolulu after he
had seen long and honorable period
of service in the United States navy.
1t would be shown, he said, that the
accused man bad been intensely patri-
otie and for years had engaged, in
patriotic work of various kinds, and In
particular had done faithful service as
an instructor and worker with the Boy
Scouts and similar organizations. g.
It would be shown also. the attorney
said, that Walker bore the reputation
Of being a dangerous man, who on
number of occasions had expressed pro
German sympathies. He said also that
testimony would be introduced TO prove
that Walker habitually carried an open
clasp knife in his pocket and that Just
before the shooting near Captain, Al.
lens stand occurred, Walker was nd g,
vancing on Captain Allen while the
latter was retreating. SO. M
In his statement the attorney promis-
ed to show. that only ON one occasion
before the shooting had Walker, given
evidence of dislovalty in his intercourse
with Captain Allen and this was
when he made a slurring reference
to an American flag and walked away.
On that occasion, the attorney said, AL
len had started out of his stand and
Ind been seized with a fit Of dizziness.
When he recovered the attorney said,
he doubted that he had heard Walker
Alright and so had not taken up the
matter with him.
Two witnesses would show, the at
t0rney went on, that on the night of
the shooting they had gone to Allen
end had told him to have O talk with
Walker. Both had heard Walker using
dislOyal language, the attorney said
and after they had talked to Allen
about it. he promised reluctantly to
take Walker to task These talks pre-.
coded the shooting by only short time.
All of what Attorney Andrews said
would be proved by the defense, save
his statement that Walker was known
ms dangerous character who carried
an open knife, had been proved by d
dozen witnesses when the trial was ad.
iOurned at noon. 1t is expected that
the remaining links in the chain of de.
Tense will be supplied this morning
when the testimony Of Chief Of De
tectives McDuffie and that Of the accus-
ed man is given.
