next day the whole thing was dis
missed"
Beginning with the night of the
dance at Ala Wal Inn, when Mrs. Mas
sic was seized, Kelley asked the naval
officer If he had taken any liquor to
the party.
DO have to answer thatq" Massie
said.
The prosecutor insisted and Massie
said he took pint of liquor to the
party. He said he danced twice with
Mrs. Massie and gave some of the liquor
to the orchestra. He said he saw one
intoxicated man at the place.
Were you intoxicated?" Kelley asked.
No" said MasSie emphatically
As Kelley pressed for minute details
about the dance, Massie said:
Mr.. Kelley, wouldn't remember an
earthquake that night"
The prosecutor asked Massie how long
he had owned the .45-caliber pistol
which he carried to the Fortescue home
lust before the killing. Massie said
quite while" but was uncertain
about the exact length of time.
Outside of court Kelley previously
had remarked upon the fact that Kaha-
hawai- was killed with a .32-caliber
weapon, allegedly belonging to Jones,
despite the fact that Massie had brought
his own pistol.
Pistol Not Produced.
Massie had testified Jones had
brought his pistol to the Fortescue home
because he feared Kahahawai would be
difficult to handle. The naval officer
testified, however, he had instructed
Jones to leave the weapon there while
the four accused persons abducted the
native.
The death weapon has not been pro-
duced by the prosecution. Under Kel-
leys questioning Massie today quoted
Jones as saying he (Jones) took the
pistol to the Massie home later.
The prosecutor asked Massie where
he had heard the vile" rumors which
he had mentioned Saturday as having
been circulated about himself and Mrs.
Massie after the attack.
MY friends told me-" Massie said.
They came to me and wanted to know
what we could do"
you mean they asked you what you
were going to do about it?"
No: they asked what we could all
do about it-they and I.
Did you ask Mr.. Beebe, your attor-
ney, II the unwritten law could be in
voked in HaWaii?"
Massie said he didn't recall having
Did you ever tell any one you ought
to take a gun and kill Kahahawai?"
II want to be accurate, Mr.. Kelley
not that recall"
Woman Took Leadership.
Having previously testified his mind
went blank as he held a pistol before
Kahahawai and heard the latter confess
the attack, Massie said he learned of
his subsequent actions through the
three other defendants.
Massie said when the three other
realized Kahahawai was dead they
were so excited they ran around in
circles shouting" He said Mrs Fortescue
assumed leadership in the move to dis
pose of the body, and that Jones had
told him how the body had been re-
moved to the bath room.
Did Jones tell you why he did not go
in the car which took Kahahawai's body
toward Koko Head?" Kelley asked.
Eyes. He said Mrs. ForteScue told
him to stay there and clean up the
house"
Were you trying TO get a confession
to be used at the retrial of the men
charged with assaulting your wife?"
Il wasn't interested in any trial I
was thinking OF my wife, and so would
you. Mr. Kelley"
Massie quoted Mrs. Fortescue as hav-
ing said he stood there like a bump on
log" after the shooting.
She said she took me into the kitch-
en-" MasSie continued, "and tried to
get me to drink some oke (okolehao ma
tive intoxicant)."
What did Jones say about the way
you acted dazed after the shooting?"
He said acted like damned fool"
To Get Some Fresh Air.
Kelley asked Massie why Mrs. For
tescue and Lord had taken him along
when they left for Koko Head with the
body.
"I don't know" said the witness. but
after studying for moment, he added:
Now know why they took me Mrs.
Fortescue said to take me so could get
some fresh air"
Kelley then asked Massie if he ever
had been implicated in a kidnapping
previously. Massie replied negatively.
"Sure?" Kelley persisted.
Yes"
Massie then related the incident
about the baby in Patchogue
Shown copy Of q message from Ad-
miral William v. Pratt, chief of naval
operations, to Rear Admiral Yates
Stirling. head Of this naval district, say
ing American men would not stand
for" the violation of their women, Mas
sic said 1t had been a confidential mes
sage and as such he had not been al
lowed to see 1t. He said he did not re-
call having heard of 1t.
The message, sent to Honolulu less
than three weeks before the lynehing,
had been interpreted in some quarters
after the killing as condoning violence
against attackers of women.
Massie's croSs-examination ended
after sie had been on the stand for q
