HONOLULU, October 15.-Technical
testimony concerning blood pressure
symptoms occupied much OF the hear
ing Yesterday concerning the death OF
Mrs. Marion Shainwald Sewer, whose
brother, Ralph Shainwald, seeks a sec
ond autopsy upon her body, asserting
she may have been poisoned.
Col. Granville Sewer, husband OF the
woman from whom he inherited $780,
600. has asked the court to issue a per-
Ynanent Injunction restraining Sheriff
Gleason from performing another
autopsy.
According to the death certificate,
Mrs. Sewer, formerly Of Irvington, N.
y. died In August, 1928, Of acute car
diac dilation An autopsy performed In
April of last year developed no un-
natural cause Of death.
Gleason denied he told Frank Thomp-
son, Sewers attorney. he thought
Shainwald was "a nut or crazy" Glea-
son asserted the statement came from
Thompson to him.
The sheriff also contradicted testi-
mony of Attorney E. H. Beebe that
Gleason had said he decided to hold a
second autopsy in order to get rid Of
Ehainwald.
After Gleason testified he never was
certain whether Mrs. Sewer died of
natural or unnatural causes the hear
ing was continued until tomorrow.

Before the Spanish-American War
Charlie was a $9-a-week porter in q

Porter sent him money and tobacco. Be-
fore the war ended Walgreen was sent

luckless and while Ill and jobless saw

short, Charlie walked out of the office
