new Law CODE
FOR SAMOANS
System for the Natives is
Based Upon the Ameri-
can Statutes
VENERATION FOR
HOLY SCRIPTURES

PAGO PAGO, American Samoa,
May "A new code Of laws based
on American statutes has developed
in American Samoa from the dis
turbance of last year. which culmin-
ated in the suicide Of the Governor.
Commander Warren T. Terhnne.
The revised laws, drawn by Cap
tain Waldo Evans. the new Cover
nor. and Judge A. NJ. Noble. and
submitted to the native chiefs, mark
an interesting change from the early
laws provided for the Samoans.
When. in 1900. the first Secretary
Of Native Affairs. Judge Gurr, asked
the native rulers of the Samoan vii
lages to submit laws to him for rec
ommendation to the first Governor,
he received from the various villages
a copy Of the Ten Commandments OF
the Bible. This accompanied with the
suggestion that penalties for their
violation should consist of a fine in
the shape of a hog and a barrel of
beef
These recommendation were not
adopted in whole, for such penalties
would have resulted in every offense
having the way for a feast in the
village. This, officials decided, would
prove too much of a temptation for
the natives.
1t is the custom Of the Samoans,
and was then. that when any offense
is complained of and the offender
not known, for the native pastor or
native magistrate. TO compel each
person in the village to declare his
or her innocence by oath on the
Bible.
on one occasion some church
money was stolen from the box Of a
Samoan pastor. where IL had been
placed for safe-keeping. The native
pastor immediately went from house
tc house with a Bible. swearing ir
every inmate. but every one declared
innocence. lie. however, forgot TO
take the oath himself, and the theft
remained q mystery.
soinc years afterward tho pastor
became seriously III and his relative;
were called together Having made
certain that they we're all in for
giving mood, he then confessed thai
he was the cuiprit. Under the cir
cumstances his people felt they could
not but forgive him. Thereupon 4
was astonishing how rapid was hii
recovery.

"She talked around town that she
wasn't in love with Ed but she
wanted a home. and she said that
sometime she might learn to love
him.
We'll, in August she and Ed were
married after he took out a $4,000
insurance policy. In September Ed
died.
The townfolks weren't just salts
fed. They started a lot Of talk and
the insurance company held up pay
ment on the policy. The matter got
into politics and folks wanted TO
know what the candidates for sheriff
would do about Lydia.
She Didn't Worry.
But Lydia didn't seem to be wor-
rying. After she left for California
the town got more dissatisfied than
ever and in January 1 was assigned
to the case.
"Ive had the bodies OF the men
disinterred and examined. Three
chemists, each working separately.
reported to me that they found
arsenic. interviewed the doctors
who attended her husbands and OBJ

enabled me to build a strong case
