BY DAN CAMPBELL United Press Stan Corrcspondcnt)

Honolulu. T. H., Jan 9--(U. P.) Native police piled up damaging evidence to-day against a socially prominent New York matron, her naval lieutenant son-in-law, and an enlisted man all charged with murdering a Hawaiian accused in an attack on the lieutenant's bride.
 And as the accused were hur- ried aboard Q warship anchored in Pearl Harbor for safe keeping, of- ficials took the utmost precautions to prevent q violent outbreak. For smoldering passions of mixed races on this romantic island where east meets west have been famed to new beat by discovery of the crime the latest in Q long series.
 The National Guard was mobil- ized even before the prisoners were taken aboard the U. s. s. Alton, receiving ship with the fleet.
 The accused are:
 Mrs Granville Roland Fortescue, wife of Major Fortescue, who Is a resident of New York, playwright, author, explorer, aide to President Roosevelt, and was decorated for services in the spanish war and World War.
 Lieutenant Thomas Hedges Mas sic, who married Thalia Fortescue in 1927. He Is a member of n
 Private E. j. Lord, Melford, Mass.
 Another private, A l.. Jones, eI Mn to hal questioning.
 The victim of the murder charg- cd against the three Americans was Joe Kahahawai.
 It Is charged that Kahahawai one of several accused in an at. tack on Mrs Massie, had been kidnapped, taken to the Massie home, there slain, and then hus- tied toward Koko Head. a water geyser into which his body was to trace of the killing.
 Authorities were frankly fearful of an uprising. To clamp down any general outbreak, they removed High Sheriff John c. Lane, a prom inent native political leader, from control of oahu prison, and ap- pointed Colonel William Anderson. commanding officer of the 29Sth infantry of the National Guard, his successor.
 Deputy Sheriff Hoopai In charge of the investigation, said he was "almost certain" that the Ha. waiian was killed in Lieutenant Massie's home. He said the body was found in the automobile in which Mrs Fortescue and her com panions were riding and in which they were arrested after several shots had been fired at them.
 In advancing evidence against Mrs Forestque and Lieutenant Massie and Lord, police made the following allegations:
 Search of the Massie home show ed what appeared to be blood stains. A stained towel was found in q closet. Sheets had been taken off q bed.
 Kahahawakars body had been wrapped in sheets.
 The victim was slain in a bath tub, to deaden the sound of the re- volver shot. He was shot through the heart.
 The bed room door was damaged as though by Q struggle, Hoopai said.
 A mans short and woman's wrapper, both torn, were found in the house.
 Two guns were found in the Massie residence, according to po- lice, one a .45 automatic and the other a .32 automatic.
 There was wet mop in the bathroom, indicating, in Hoopai's opinion, that the floor had been mopped recently. Police said this strengthened the theory that the Hawaiian had been killed in the bath tub, in which the coroner who examined the body concurred.
 Authorities said .32 cartridge was missing from the clip carried by Jones.
 Police claimed he was on guard at the Massie home when Kaha- hawai- was killed. They said that among his belongings was found a false warrant bearing the seal of the Chemical Warfare School in Maryland. It was wrapped around a .32 clip with a newspaper cut ting that said life has lots of thrills if you look for them"
 Police claimed Jones either was or was acting as though under influenCe Of Honor
