He was arrested last month

bride and four-months-old-baby,
Sally Noonan, to be returned
to California.
His sister, informed of his
capture by cable, took the next

time Of his death, including a
simple blue shirt with a bullet
hole near where the heart
would be.
It was expected that Kelly
would soon draw from his boxes
of evidence the blood-Stained
sheet with which the body of
Kahahawai was wrapped, the
revolver that brought his death,
and the rope with which the sheet
was tied around the body.
TenSely the little court room
has watched the piling up Of evil
dence against the four accused
honor slayers." White women
from the highest social strata
of Honolulu, high naval officers
and their wives, and copper-hued
Orientals have sat silent as the
state pressed its case.
The presence in court OF the
women of her own social level
has been a great consolation to
Mrs. ForteScue.
The conjecture that the state
has formed as to the probable
outline of the defense plans was
based largely on the cross-eXam-
ination of John Cluney, a detec-
tive.
DarrOw Cautious
Under deft questioning, Cluney
said that Lieutenant Massie wore
a strained look at the time Kaha-
hawai's body was found and the
young naval officer was placed
under arrest.
Clarence Dai row, master Strate-
gist, when asked if Lieutenant
Massie would shoulder the blame
for the death of the native, re-
fused to comment on what he
termed the guess work" of the
prosecution.
That his defense will consist in
a brilliant coup" seemed more
than likely, however. AS if fore
casting a surprise move on his
part, Darrow told the court at the
termination of Prosecutor Kelley's
| brilliant opening speech to the
polyglot jury that he would re-
serve his statement.
Tells of kidnapping
Yesterdays star witness for the
State was Edward Ulii, blood kin
of Kahahawai. Ulii told of seeing
the kidnapping of the native from
the steps of the Hall of the
Chiefs" where the four Ameri-
cans are now standing trial.
Dramatically he pointed to Mrs
ForteScue as the woman who led
the kidnapers and put the finger
on Kahahawai.
Today'S star witness, according
to Kelley, will be Yoshie Adachi,
Japanese maid at the home of
Mrs. Fortescue.
The Japanese girl, the proSecu,
ton contends, was directed the
night before the murder not t.
report for work the next day
This proved generalization, in the
eyes of the State.

Regularity Necessary.
DR., Sexton explained that the bene-
fits depend greatly upon the vigor ap-
piled in this exercise and upon the
regularity with which 1t Is performed. "

exercise in the open air sleeping in a

ON a sleeping porch the year round,
Is the best preventive known today
for respiratory infection. such as colds
