Mystery Surrounding
Disappearance Ford
Is Solved at Last

Mysteries connected with the dis
appea rance oil a number of Ford cars,
all of which were recovered by their
owners little or none the worse for
use, are cleared by the detection of
the culprit, a youth between Is and
II years of age who must explain as
best he can to the juvenile court.
Following its custom of not publish
ing the names of youths or children
who are brought into that court, this
paper withholds the name OF the boy.
Numerous complaints have been
made of the loss of Ford cars recent
ly and the police were baffied. Carl
+. N. Rose ultimately solved the prob
lem in an investigation he was call
ed upon to make. The youth was en-
ployed by the Wailuku Sugar Com
pany it developed.
Among the Fords which were miss
ed by their owners were those of
Caleb Burns, William Bartels, Angus
tine Enos, William Sniffen, Maui Elec-
trio Company, A. Garcia and three
Japanese, one of Lahaina and one of
Paia. In the case of the Burns car
the youngster took it from the garage
and left it up the road from the house
later. The Bartels' car was taken
from the Maui Hotel and left in front
OF Roses house, the youngster evi-
IDENTIFY planning to give employees of
the company as little trouble as pos
sible in recovering the cars.
The Ford from Lahaina was left af-
ter drive over to Wailuku near
Sheriff Crowell's house Taking a
car FROM Paia Japanese there was
no key so the joy-rider detached a
wire, created short circuit and
drove off. Rather a Ford expert.
Detection came in connection with
joy ride in Augustine Enos' car. On
that occasion he took a young girl
with him. lights gave out at Wal
hee and they walked in, thereby fur
ther battling the police. The sheriff
was notified that the Enos car was
missing and Put out watches on each
incoming road, but the car not driven
back.
The young girl Of II was employ
ed as a domestic and told her EN-
ployer her mother was i'll and was
given permission to go home but
next morning arose at her place of
employment. 1t was then Rose was
called on to investigate and the tang
led skein of auto disappearance was
speedily unraveled.
Both cases have been turned over
to Mrs. Whitehead, the probation Of
ficer.
The offenses of taking the cars put
the boy in danger of serious conse-
quences. Fortunately for him none OF
the cars he took were smashed up
but it is agreed that he needs les
son which he will bear in mind and
which will keep him straight in the
future. He is said to be industrious,
thrifty and generally of previous good
conduct.

Three County Funds
Are Now in Bad Way

Registration of County warrants
drawn on some of the funds may pe
necessary in the very near future.
One fund is exhausted and two others
face exhaustion when or before all
of the January bills against them
have been met. The general fund
and the improvement fund are the
three that are most seriously deple-
ted County Auditor Charles Wilcox
saws there are monies to meet de-
mands upon the other funds, such as
the school fund, police pension and
game fund and the road tax fund.
1t was reported this week that the
banks would refuse to cash the
county warrants and that already
there had been a refusal or refusals.
At the Bank of Maui it was said that
bank is still cashing warrants and
had not considered the subject of dis
counting or refusing to cash any war
rants yet. The Baldwin Bank said it
would continue to care for its patrons
in the cashing of warrants but was
not doing so for others E. f. Richard
son had a warrant drawn in his favor
for machinery for the Kula Santa
rum registered.
Wilcox said the school fund had
$4,000 in it on Tuesday and in it and
the funds other than the three first
mentioned, there was enough to last
until the new tax money came in.

animation he made later. Death he
said resulted from fracture of the
skull and hemorrhages of the brain.
Witness said the skull was thicker
than normal and it would take a heav-
ier blow to fracture it. He described
the nature of the fracture and said
he had never known of such a frac-
ture resulting from a fist blow but
would not say it might not He did
not think such injuries would result
from fall without propulsion. They
might have been occasioned by blow
with blunt instrument and abrasions
need not have resulted if the blow
had been struck through a hat or
with an instrument or weapon wrap
ped in cloth. Attorney Murphy asked
that all reference to the name of
White be stricken as hearsay or be-
cause told witness by the injured
man when in a semi-comatose condi-
ton. His motion was denied.
Defense Opens Case
The prosecution rested it's case and
the defense called Charles X. Wal
waiole as its first witness. He told
OF joining the party at the invitation
of Nicholas between and o'clock
OF being invited with others by White
to take drink before starting and
named the others of the party, all of
whom drank. He was asked if Corn
well was more or less intoxicated
than the others and said all about the
same, had had three or four drinks
He told of White being made to sit
down at place they visited at Puu-
meme where drinks were served and
of his falling, or sitting on the floor,
at place they visited in Kahului.
Asked as to whether there was any
trouble during the ride, he told of
White trying to hold him in the car
as he was leaving it on the way up
to Wailuku, near the depot. Witness
said all the buttons were torn from
witness shirt.
Wells Cummings said he was a
member of the party on Nicholas in
vitation and of the party being asked
by White to drink before starting on
the ride. He saw no trouble at Pun,
meme and did not see White fall to
the floor at the house in Kahului. As
he went to leave the car, he testified
White seized his coat and tried to pre-,
vent his leaving.
Both Witnesses admitted that White
sought only to detain them and Cum
mings said White let go when he ask
ed him if he was looking for trouble
1t developed on cross examination
Both Waiwaiole and Cummings were
asked if they saw any one take
Whites purse and said they did not
see anything of the kind and Cum
mings said he did not hear White
say that his money had been taken
The prosecution objected to the en-,
tire line of questioning of those wit
nesses as not being connected with
the circumstances testified to at the
entrance of the wharf and since nei
ther witness was present at that time
but the objections were overruled.
Recess Is Granted
The defense then asked recess un,
til this morning because there were
two of its witnesses absent, one OF
them most material witness and At
torney Murphy had not had an oppor
tunity to talk with the only witness
present remaining for the defense. He
said he would require not more than
an hour this morning.
The case is expected to go to the
jury this afternoon.
