AWAITING
HAWAIIAN
DECISION
Island Under Strain AS
Jury Debates Fate OF
Four Americans.
DEADLOCK Is LIKELY
Makeup Of Jury Is Seen
AS Obstacle To Obtain
ing Verdict.
By DAN CAMPBELL

United Press Staff Correspondent
COURTROOM, HONOLULU, T.
H, April %. A community
gripped by tension waited nervous
ly today for the jury's verdict in
the Joe Kahawai honor Staying
trial.
While the half-caste's accused
slayers, Lieut.. Thomas H MaSsie,
Mrs. Grace Hubbard Fortescue, his
mother-in-law, and E. j. Lord and
A. o. Jones, U. S. sailors-re-
manned at Pearl harbor naval
base, Honolulu, as a whole, await
ed the jury's return.
Four verdicts were possible, from
not guilty to guilty, guilty of man
slaughter or not guilty by reason
of insanity. ANY one Of the de-
PENDANTS who assertedly killed Ka-
hawawai in revenge for an at
tack on Massie's young wife, Thalia
Fortescue Massie, could be con-
yicted or acquitted separately.
There was strong possibility of
a deadlock since the jury Is COM
posed of six Caucasians and the
remainder a cross-Section typical
of the South Seas.
The jury retired to begin its de-
liberations late yesterday after an
impassioned plea by Clarence Dar-
row, chief of defense counsel, for
acquittal, Prosecutor John Kelley
closed for the territory demanding
conviction.
At dawn much of Honolulu was
astir and those not tied down by
work, headed toward the old ju-
dietary building where the dramatic
trial was held.
Police On Duty
Squads of policemen were on
duty in anticipation of tremend-
Gus jam. They also carried orders
to put down any demonstration
resulting from a verdict.
There was much speculation as
to what the jury of mixed races
would do. Since the attack on
Mrs. Massie last fall and the sub
sequent abduction and Staying of
Kahahawai, the racial issue has
been injected into this drama of
the Paradise of the Pacific.
Darrow, when selecting the jury,
was insistent on seating Caucas-
ians. Kelley, in contrast, chal-
lenged the Whites and sought to
impanel a body symbolic of Island
racial contrasts whose sympathies
might lied with the dead Kahaha-
wal.
Both were partially successful
and almost everyone predicted
deadlock.
The jury, which retired to hotel
last night after considering the
case five and one half hours, re-
turned to the courtroom at $50 a.
m. Q1:20 a. m. PST) and immed-
lately continued deliberations.
There was nothing in the action
of the jurors to indicate any
trend.

HEROIC METHODS USED TO
KEEP POISON VICTIM ALIVE

NEWARK, N. j., April 28.U.H
An all-night walk through
hospital corridors and an all
day jOlting in a wheel-chair
have saved the life of Howard
Edwards despite his protests for
sleep, which would have meant
death.
Edwards, a salesman, took an
overdose of sleeping lotion
Tuesday night and the only
chance he had for life was to
keep awake. His mother had
him removed to the Newark
city hospital. There Edwards,
believing he was to be put to
bed, eagerly followed two order
lies who led him down a hall.
They walked him so steps,
then returned. Edward drows-
lily protested. 81 gotta sleep"
he mumbled. The promenade
continued and Edwards reused
sufficiently at intervals to be-
come indignant.
"Hey, leave me alone, will
yOu," he cried. Then his chin
would drop to his chest as he
muttered incoherently, but al
ways he was shuffling along be-
tween the two sturdy orderlies.

I'm beer parade in Chicago, or
ganized by the saloon keepers and
city hall employees in protest
against enforcing the law closing
saloons on Sunday, the paraders
went around and around in Grant
Park in such manner as to give
the impression that the procession
was three times as long as it ac-
tually was" Mrs. Eta Boole, presi-
dent of the w. c. 7. u, said.
"a million paraders are promised
in New York alone. This is more
than have marched in any parade
in history. If they march 20
abreast, the parade would be nearly
35 miles long
Mrs. Boole said that advance pub
licity of the New York parade is
"a sample of the character of the
exaggeration that will characterize
this attempt of New York's mayor
to make himself popular hero in
a beer parade just as the New York
state legislature is about to investi-
gate his administration"

WASHINGTON, April 28.-Some
of the most important figures in
congress carry relatives on the Of
ficial payroll.
One of the more eminent of
these disclosed today is the DEM
ocratic leader of the senate, Joseph
T. Robinson of Arkansas.
He is allowed five clerical en-
ployees. They are selected by him
and paid out of the senate ap-
preparations. Three of these five
are his relatives One is a BROTH
er-in-law who is a bank president
in Little Rock, Ark, and seldom
comes to Washington. He is the
senator's contact man" in Ar
kansas. Another is the senator's
aged mother-in-law. The third, a
nephew, works regularly in the SEN
ator's office here.
Senator Robinson confirmed the
information obtained by the Unit
ed Press but did not comment.
This information is not cited to
single out an individual. The
practice is widespread, as revealed
by the dozen or more sample names
listed by the United Press last
week

The treatment was succeed
ing, the patient improving, but
the Orderlies were weakening.
Finally Edwards escorts had
to work in shifts and as their
tours ended they seemed more
weary than their patient.
At last Edwards was pushed
into wheel chair, not to rest,
but to be pummeled and jostled.
Fifteen minutes of this, then
the promenade again.
The patients temper height
ened as his peril declined.
Finally Edwards shouted pro-
tests ceased. He could only
mutter disapproval as the rock
ing of his wheel-chaiR was
changed to a side-to side jerk.
The grind went on. Twen-
ty-fOur hours without rest had
sapped the last vestige of Ed
wards strength but the activity
had worn away the effect of
the sleeping lotion.
Put him to bed" a doctor
ordered. Edwards turned un-
expressive eyes on the physician.
He gave no other manifesto
ton of understanding. AS he
sank onto the pillow he sighed.

SENATE LEADERS REVEALED AS
HAVING RELATIVES ON PAYROLL

tude toward the public's money
that is shown in the little luxuries
like fancy mineral water and free
barbershop service OF which the
senators treat themselves generous
| ly as was described in these dis
patches recently. There is moth
ing Illegal about any of it-con-
! gress makes it's own laws.
The Republican leader of the
senate, James E. Watson, also was
asked If he had any relatives on
the payroll. He said he had a
nieces on temporarily as a typist.
Her husband was i'll and out of
work, he said. Others confirmed
his statement that she was a COM
petent and industrious worker.
The money involved in these
cases individually is petty. Sen
ator Robinson's mother-in-law is
paid $2580 year. Though the
government gets practically no re-
turn for it, the amount is insig-
nificant in comparison with the
millions frittered away in some
other expenditures.
But congress itself is now work
ing on the theory that if the leaks
can't be stopped at the bunghole,
an effort should be made to stop
them at the spigot. 1t is Debating
a bill to cut the salaries of all
government employees, some of
them pitifully paid as it is. 1t is
considering knocking out the Sat
urday half holiday although it was
introduced some time back on the
ground that clerks would do as
much work in week if they got
half a day off.
But it is not looking very hard
around it's own premises.

NORFOLK, Va, April %. U.P)-
John Hughes Curtis and his asso-
ciates in negotiations with group
OF claimants to the title of the
Lindbergh kidnapers awaited q
message from the gangsters today
before setting out on another cruise
in the motor yacht Maroon.
Arriving back at the Norfolk
naval base yesterday from a Az
day cruise in which many OBJ
stacles were removed" Curtis ex-
pected to leave again almost at
once.
The hour of departure was post
poned repeatedly, and the Maroon
was still in port shortly before
noon today.

kidnapers of Charles A.. Lindbergh,
Jr., were having difficulty estab-
fishing their own communications
so Curtis was forced to await a
message regarding his own start
in the Maroon for a meeting at
sea, which he and his associates
hoped might be the next to last
one in their long negotiations for
return of the child.
Curtis, Edwin B. Bruce, retired
Elmira, N. Y, banker, and 1t.
George l.. Richard, Curtis navy
pilot on his many recent airplane
flights to Lindbergh's estate and
elsewhere, were expected to make
the cruise. With F.. H. Lackman,
skipper of the Maroon, they were
standing by for word from the
members of the gang with which
they are dealing, ready to leave at
any moment.
