HONOLULU CASE
HISTORY IS
TRACED
Second Phase Starts Now As
Trial of Americans Gets
Under Way

HONOLULU, T. H., April
II '(I.N.S. 1.-The Fortescue-
Massie case, which was to
reach its final stages today
with the start Of testimony
in the trial of the four Ameri-
cans accused of the "honor
Staying" of a native, auto
matically divides itself into
two phases.
The first deals with the brutel
attack by five half-castes on Mrs.
Thalia Massie, wife of Lieut..
Thomas H. Massie, young United
States naval officer.
The second concerns the kid
naping and shooting to death of
Joseph Kahahawai, accused as the
leader of the attacking hoodlumS.
Link Both Episodes
The prosecution of Mrs. Grace
Hubbard Fortescue, Lieutenant
Massie and the two naval enlisted
men on trial for the killing of
Kahahawai, will concern itself
only with the second phase of the
entire case.
The defense will insist that both
the attack and the subsequent
shooting of KahahaWai are closely
related and must be dealt with as
one continuous episode.
The sinister beginning of the
affair occurred on September 12
of last year when Mrs. Massie
was abducted by five men from
near a Honolulu beach club, taken
to a lonely spot off the Ala
Moana Boulevard, and criminally
attacked by at least four of the
five men.
Identifies Suspects
Suspects were Immediately
rounded up and three days later
Mrs. Massie identified Kahaha-
wal, Ben Ahakuelo, Horace Ida,
Henry Chan and David Takai as
her assailants.
On December the case was
finally placed in the hands of
the usual polyglot jury and 81
hours later this jury reported
it was hopelesly deadlocked, and
was dismissed.
The Government will concern
its case with the events of Jan
uary 8 and the dramatic days
that followed It was then that
Kahahawai was abducted from
the steps of the very Hall of
Chiefs" where the four Americans
are now standing trial.
Two hours after he was per-
suaded to enter an automobile,
his sheet-wrapped body was found
in a sedan overtaken Is miles
from town as it Speeded toward
the ocean.
Jones Arrested at House
In the sedan were Mrs. Fortes-
cue, Lieut.. Massie, and Edward
J. Lord, an enlisted man of the
United States Navy. Albert S.
Jones, another enlisted man, was
later arrested as he stood guard,
gun in hand, over the home of
Mrs. MaSSie.

was not considered likely that
more than dozen would be
needed to round out the govern
ment's case. Others may be
called in rebuttal, but indications
were that the prosecution would
be finished within week.
The defense, too, may we'll be
brief. Should the psychiatrists
be called, however, the prosecu.
ton will counter with experts of
its own. and the legal battle
over the testimony would drag
out the proceedings,
