 Rev MT Ahuna asked his audience went to the court house in connec- tion with bail formaiity on the charge of attacking Mrs Massie, and was ignorant that the visit would cost him his life.
 The minister drew Q parallel between the Biblical story of Cain and Abel the present case, claiming that brother had killed his brother.
 Rev Ahuna asked his audience what caused the killing and then replied:
 "It was revenge"
 He expressed surprise that the persons under arrest for tho kill ing should be persons Sworn to up hold the law" He closed by say ing he was glad to see such q demonstration of sympathy at the grave.
 Most attendants at the services seemed attracted largely by curi- osity.
 The voices of Ma Kahahawai's s parents were heard above all others as tho coffin was lowered in- to the grave.

 Before the cortege left the funeral parlors, the father an- nounced: My son always said he was in- nocent, in fact he took an oath which Is considered sacred to Hawaiians.
 Daddy he said, T swear be. fore God I never did anything wrong.'"
 The mourners marched two miles through the city streets to the cem- etery. Kahahawais mother walked alone in the procession, chanting Hawaiian "meles."

James Gilliland said he would fight any attempt to remove this case from the civil courts. 1t had been decided the defendants would appear for civil trial.
 Vim pointed out that there was likely to be q bad moral effect If Lieut. Massic and the enlisted men were tried by court martial and acquitted.
