NAVAL COMMITTEE
ACTS TO GET FAIR
TRIAL IN HONOLULU
House Group Calls Upon JUS
tice Department to Assure
Impartiafity.
GRAND JURY WILL OPEN
MASSIE CASE TOMORROW
Authority of U. S. Agents in Ter
ritorial Court Doubted in
Some Quarters.

The Department of Justice, which Is
investigating law enforcement in crime
stirred Honolulu, was called on today
by the House Naval Committee to see
that the four American defendants in
the island murder case are given a fair
trial.
At the same time the committee de-
manded from Gov. Judd Of Hawaii an
explanation of his action in granting
clemency to native athletic hero"
who had been convicted OF assault on
a woman.
The committee severely criticized law
enforcement conditions in Honolulu and
referred to the nolle pressing of charges
against two men indicted for the muir
der of an American seaman as typical
of official action in crime prosecutions.
In some quarters here it was thought
the Department of Justice would have
little or no authority to take hand
in the trial Of the defendants IN the
Massie case, which will come before
territorial court under island law.
Jury Meets Tomorrow.
The grand jury which Is to invesu-
gate the kidnapping and murder will
be chosen tomorrow, according to As
ISOLATED Press reports from Honolulu.
The accused quartet are Mrs. Gran
vile Fortescue, her son-in-law, Lieut..
Thomas Massie, and two sailors, all of
whom are charged with numbering an
alleged assailant of Mrs. Massie.
The House Committee sent copies of
its recommendation to the Attorney
General, the Judge Advocate General
and the House Territories Committee.
Previously Hawaiian Delegate Houston
had said he had not seen all the docu-
ments on which the committee based its
report. He emphasized that he has
not, "by word or gesture" condoned the
offense against Mrs. Massie.
II abhor the crime" he said, land
hope for nothing better than that the
perpetrators speedily be brought to
men accused of criminally assaulting
the naval neutenant's wife.
Delegate Houston said he had sug-
gested ID Coz. Judd that the Hawaiian
Legislature, which meets in special ses-
sion January IS, make penalty for
criminal assaults death or sterilization.
Cali VOL CSSe TYPICAL
The Naval Committee expressed the
opinion that action Of Hawaiian au-
thorities in freeing defendants charged
with the murder of Isadore Wolf, a
sailor, In 1927, was typical OF law en-
forcement conditions there.
Wolf was killed in riot between
civilians and service men on July 16,
1927, according to press reports In
Honolulu papers studied by the COM
mittee One of the papers said:
"As a result of VOLTS death William
H. Stuart and Abel Keala were indicted
by the territorial grand jury on a
charge of second-degree murder.
Two groups of men, civilians and service
members, we're indicted and charged
with rioting On motion OF Griffith
Wright deputy city attorney, Judge
Cristy entered nolle prosequi in the
murder charge and Stuart and Keala
were released"
