PARDON MOVEMENT BEGUN.
Effort Made at Honolulu to Restore
Citizenship of Defendants.
BY the Associated Fress.

BY the Associated Fress.
HONOLULU. May 5.-A move for an
outright pardon for Mrs. Granville
Fortescue and three naval men. con-
victed of lynching Joseph Kahahawai,
was pressed today after the quartet
had fully satisfied the law by spending
one hour in custody of the territorial
high sheriff
Sentenced yesterday in a surprise
court session to 10 years in prison Tor
manslaughter, they were Immediately
granted a Communication of sentence to
one hour by Gov. Lawrence M. Judd.
With the case closed, the New York
society woman was expected to leave
Hawaii soon to join her author husband
in the East
The Governors order also apparently
paved the wey to dropping retrial OF
the four surviving men accused o. as
ssulting Mrs. Thalia Massie last sep
tember.
Records Kept Clear.
The communication also saved the
Navy men from having their service
records marred by Imprisonment, Capt.
Ward Workman, Massie's commander,
saId Federal action would have been
necessary to clear their records had
they actually been committed to
prison, even for an hour.
Harry Hewitt, attorney general, said
the Communication did not constitute
a pardon and did not restore to the
four their civil rights. Clarence Dar-
row. veteran chief of defense counsel.
said he thought Federal action might
be taken to restore them. We are sat-
isfed.'
The four were convicted last Friday,
after a long trial climaxeo by Massi2's
testimony he shot Kahahawai last jan
uary upon hearing the native con-
fess participating with four other men
in a crimincl assault upon his wife. Tne
first trial of the five ended in Jury
disagreement and the group was await
ing a new trial when Kahahawai was
slain.
Darrow announced he would advise
Mrs Massie not to proceed in the re-
trial and an authoritative source dis
closed that the territory probably would
not bring up the case again. Without
Mrs Massie. the complaining witness,
the. prosecution could not proceed.
Coming on the fifth day after a
racially mixed Jury had convicted the
four and recommended leniency, the
conmutation put an end TO a case
which had threatened to drag along in
the courts for months or perhaps years.
Darrow had been mapping an appeal.
Over In One Hour.
The whole thing was over one hour
after the defendants had been called
into court. With Darrow and George
S. Leisure Of the defense and Public
Prosecutor John c. Kelley present,
Judge Charles S. Davis pronounced the
sentences.
In each case the sentence, as re-
quired by Law, was not more than 10
years at hard labor in Oahu Island
prison.
There was no demonstration. None be-
sidee authorities. defendants, attorneys

The Crown Prince had talked himself
into a pitch Of excitement. He paused
moment to let his feelings subside.
IF I were to be successful" he went
on. "in catching the ear of the people
across the Atlantic with what l have
told you, and if thereby should be able,
at least in a certain measure, to help
my suffering people, I should regard
this as my most beautiful birthday
present"
Would Like to See U. s.
When he talked Of sports at the
opening of the interview, the Crown
Prince wished especially that he could
visit the United States for the coming
Olympic Games at Los Angeles.
Some of my friends have told me
"and 1 have so stepped myself in Jack
London's novels that am yearning for
your West Coast"
He also spoke of his son, Louis Fer
dinand, who is working at the Ford
automobile factory at Detroit.
Il believe" he said ''he chose this
field Of activity of his own free will
because the love for things mechanical
is in his very blood as an inheritance
from my own love for technics.
In the case of my other boys, too
I'm glad to see an active interest in
things mechanical developing. And ]
am doubly glad that with them, as
with me, this interest is not limited
purely to the mechanism of technical
labor. but that they are constantly
searching for the bridge that must be
constructed from technique over to the
spiritual and economic phases Of life,
for this, as far as I can judge, con-
stitutes one of the most difficult prob
lens of our time"
The prince began the interview in
German, then changed to English,
which he speaks like an Oxford scholar,
and finally, as he grew more animated,
lapsed back again into German. en-
livened by undiluted Berlin slang.

many's former Crown Prince,
- in the first interview he has
granted since his return from
exile in 1928. issued an animated ap-
peal to the American people today TO
understand" Germany.
Tomorrow Is the Grown Prince S
50th birthday anniversary. In the nrst
stages of the 40-minute chat, he sat
nanchalantly on a sofa. puffed leisurely
on a cigarette and talked of sports
and mechanics, his two non-political
hobbies.
But his face hardened and his voice
became vibrant as he turned the con-
versation to the subject nearest his
heart. the condition of Germany. Feel
ings pent up during almost nine years
of silence seemed to surge within HIM.
Denies German Guilt.
When YOU ask me, in connection
with my 50th birthday anniversary to
make statement" he said, Il cannot
avoid hitting straight from the shoul-
der and telling you what is at stake
in my Fatherland today.
81 cannot close my eyes TO our ap-
palling misery, to the constantly grow
ing despair which everybody who is
willing to see and hear encounters on
every side, to the evidences of pro-
gressiye destruction which day after
day, with merciless fatefulness, VIC
tirnizes both small and large economic
undertakings, built up and developed
through years Of painstaking, tenacious
labor.
Claims made about Gernanys guilt
for the outbreak Of the war are untrue
and have, besides, long been disproved.
What about the thesis with which
the United States in 1917 entered the
war against Germany-the thesis con-
corning the necessity OF fighting in be-
half of the liberty of small nations?
What preposterous, fatal mistakel
What about the celebrated IA points
of President Wilson which Germany &C
cepted and whose fulflllment Germany
has right to expect, even today?
They were thrown in the discard at
Paris.
Versailles Responsible.
Have you proud and free Americans
any inkling Of what it means to make
q proud people submit to special laws
and regulations? Is it necessary to
point out what it means to take the
right of determining its national self
defense from a people with history of
centuries and with boundaries exposed
on all sides?
This dictate of Versailles, from which
the whole world is suffering, and the
spirit from which it emanated. are, in
the last analysis, responsible for all the
disaster of today. True enough, you
Americans did not sign it, but-and you
will pardon me for saying this-you
have made it possible and you continue
to tolerate the impossible conditions
created by it.

that Europe's recovery can be brought

tinent there is a German people at
