sobered somewhat but said nothing.
AT the defense table, Darrow,
hearing perhaps for the last time
the verdict in a case in which he
was counsel, tagged. His face
showed the emotional strain he was
undergoing. For a minute he
seemed dazed. Later he told re-
porters:
This is terrible shock to me-"
Prosecutor John Kelly, for whom
the trial and the verdict was a ire
mendous personal victory, said
merely:
The decision meets the end of
justice"
No Crowd Demonstration
There was no demonstration from
the crowd outside. The four de-
PENDANTS were remanded to the
custody of the navy-in whose
charge they have been since they
we're indicted.
Meanwhile, Police Chief Charles
Weber had ordered the four re-
naming defendants in the Ala
Moana assault case-the term APP
Piled TO the brutal attack on Mrs.
MasSie-locked up in the city Jail.
They. have been out on bail since
jury was unable to reach a YER
dict in their case. Weber feared
the verdict might bring reprisals
against Kahahawai's alleged COM
panions.
These men, Ben Ahakuelo, Horace
Ida, Henry Chang and David
Takai, must be tried a second time
by Kelley.
The case presents the unusual
spectacle of Mrs. Massie appearing
as Kelleys chief witness after she
had been his bitter opponent as a
defense witness in the trial Of her
husband and mother.
The national guard was assembled
at its armory and police were armed
Will IlOb guns.
Trial Started April 3
The verdict brought another trag-
ic sequence in the long history Of
the Ala Moana case.
1t started on Sept. II, 1881, when
Massie and his blond young wife
both popular in social circles in
Eonolulu-attended a dance at Ala
Wal inn. She left for a walk, and
while strolling down a lane was
seized and attacked. Her jaw was
broken. Five men were tried, but
the jury could not reach a verdict.
Meanwhile, in Hawaii resentment
arose. One Of the men accused
was beaten by unidentified assail-
ants.
Then on Jan. Kahahawai was
lured TO the courthouse on a fake
warrant, taken TO Mrs. Fortescue's
home and police finally found his
body in motor car in which Mrs.
Fortescue, Massie and Lord we're
racing toward Koko Head geyser.
The three and Jones were arrested
and indicted.
The trial started April 3.

her way into Epstein's heart and
turned his bachelor quarters into
nursery.
Mrs. Agnes Mcconnell, %, who
said she was the infants mother
and had been in Detroit, ignorant
of her child's abandonment.
Epstein legally adopted the child
last February shortly after an
nouncing that it had been left on
his doorstep with a note from the
mother whom he had befriended in
court asking him to care for it.
He disappeared with the child
when Mrs. Mcconnell suddenly
sought legal action to recover her
daughter.
Court bailiffs finally found him
and served him with writ requir-
ing his presence in court today at
a hearing to set aside the adoption.
Mrs. Mcconnell said she left her
daughter here in custody Of a nurse

ployment. In the interim the nurse,

American Tragedy Plot Is
ParaIIeIed in Story of
High School Girl.
CHARGE DEATH ATTEMPT
Asserts Married Lover
Tried Murder by Throw

By United Press
LOS ANGELES, April 30.-The
plot of a new American tragedy"
paralleling that of THEODORE Dreis-
er's famous novel, was being dis
closed today in the trial of a
youthful married golf caddy on
charges of attempting to STAY his
pretty high school sweetheart.
The trial, in adjournment over
ten weekend, was that Of Frank
Newland, 19, on charges of at
tempting to murder Lois Wade, II,
Pomona high school student
In tones devoid of emotion, the
girl told of her romance, and as the
jury gasped swept a beret from her
head to disclose jagged scars she
said were inflicted by Newland af-
ter he had hurled her into an aban-
doned well.
Threw Gin in Well
The assault took place, she testi-
fed, after she had told Newlard
she was about to become a mother,
and asked him to obtain a divorce
and marry her.
He threw me in the we'll, and
began hitting me with piece of
railroad tie" she testified. Il fin
ally had to let go of an iron bar
had grasped.
II let go and fell into the water
at the bottom Of the well. When 1
heard his car start, managed to
climb out and walk to the road"
In Dreiser's famous novel, AN
American Tragedy" similar cir
cumStances resulted in the death
of Roberta Alden"
In the novel, Robert" pleaded
with Clyde Griflths" to marry her
to save her reputation. He took
her for a boat ride, struck her, and
she was drowned.
Letter Read in Trial
H. A. I. Wolch, defense attorney,
read a letter which Miss Wade
wrote last June % to a girl named
lone. who later married Newland.
It revealed the story of rivalry for
his affections.
II didn't know you cared so much
until I read a certain letter. No
one could write a letter like that
without plenty of reason.
I'm sure Frank loves me. If
wasn't wouldn't hesitate a moment
to send him back to you, 'Yonnie.
You yourself know how it is to be
uncertain, but I'm not any more.
I'm afraid you think that the real
reason for my writing this letter is
to gloat over him. I wouldn't do
that. I just couldn't. I want to
tell you how I love Frank"
Wolch claimed Miss Wade contin-
ued to see Newland, despite knowl-
edge he had married her rival.
