had scrambled down the ladder,
making his way to a point down
"Featherbed Lane" toward the main

On this path, according to foot

LIFE SENTENCE
SWIFTLY METED
In ATTACK CASE
Hawaiian Judge Refuses
To Impose Death Pen
atty On Accused.
BY DAN CAMPBELL
United Press Staff Correspondent


HONOLULU, March 2. John
Fernandez, 21-year-old Portuguese
truck driver, began serving a life
term in Oahu prison today a few
hours after outraged island justice
dealt swift punishment for the lat
est attack on a woman.
Growing public anger over SER
les of violent crimes, riots and mob
outbreaks focused on Fernandez,
lodging him behind bars for the
rest of his life on the same day he
allegedly attacked Mrs. K. Wata-
nabe, mother of four children.
Fernandez, married and the faith
er of three children, was alleged to
have attacked Mrs. Watanabe yes
terday morning near the Castle
estate. He was captured, made
statement to officers and at p.
m. appeared before the hastily
summoned grand jury.
Indicted on the charge-noW
capital offense as a result of new
laws passed by the island legisla-
ture-Fernandez was taken before
Circuit Judge Albert M. Cristy. He
is the same jurist who will preside
at the trial of Mrs. Granville r.
Fortescue and three navy men, ac-
cused "honor slayers" of a young
Hawaiian.
At ass p. m. Fernandez entered
plea of guilty, move which
Judge Cristy decided would save
him from the moose.
The jurist denounced Fernandez
from the bench, expressing regret
he could not inflict capital pun
ishment.
I'm view of your plea I cannot
impose more than life term" he
said. "Inasmuch as rape has been
made a capital offense, I believe
juries should pass on cases before
execution is ordered.
For many years it has been the
practice of Hawaiian courts to re-
fuse to accept pleas of guilty in
first degree murder cases and to
compel a hearing before a jury. I
believe the same practice should
hold in attack cases."
Fernandez, a native Portuguese
who came here as an infant and
married when he was Is, was ar
rested and sentenced while island
police were still searching for the
attacker of Mrs. Kathleen Hope, 35,
wife of a navy machinist's mate.
One suspect, a Japanese, was held
Mrs. Fernandez did not learn of
her husbands arrest until he was
already in prison. She collapsed
in tears.

Of 16 institutions whose representa-

when the moon hides the sun.
Eight of the scientific parties now

cities are therefore well within the

ner of Massachusetts, and Cape Cod.
The shadow will cover all of the
Atlantic coast between Salem,

The most nOrtherly accessible
point from which to observe the to-

Meeting of Yank and Ger
man Flyers Dramatic.

Buffalo, n. Y.-An American and
German aviator, who accidentally
met here recently. learned that they
had engaged in combat over France
ii years ago.
The meeting was dramatic and
the story the aces told was filled
with the chivalry of airmen.
Lieut.. Gustave T. Lindstrom of
the American Ninetieth squadron
was telling members of the air
corps reserve officers of a strange"
air battle, during which his enc
my's machine gun jammed, and the
flight ended with the combatants
waving good luck" TO each other.
Just picture it," Lieutenant
Lindstrom said. "There we were,
waving good luck to each other in
the air"
But the war veteran did not fin
ish. Some one in the room stood
up, calculating:
"Did your plane have a pair of
dice painted on the fuselage?" the
man shouted.
"Why, yes!" Lieutenant Lind
strom answered, wondering.
A moments silence, and then the
stranger spoke again:

life you refused to take during the
war. am Carl Friedrich Mitman,
lieutenant of Fliegger truppse 13.

The officers present gasped. They
had just heard Lieutenant Lind
strom's thrilling story.
On November 8, 1918, it devel-
oped. the German and the American
took off from Elaine and Bethelain-
vile, respectively.
Lieutenant Lindstrom flew a
French Salmson and Lieutenant Nit
man a Rumpler two scatter. Visi-
bility was poor and both planes
flew low, hedge-hopping toward
each other.

become aware of an enemy's pres
ence.

as Lieutenant Mitman sought alti-

painted in large letters on the tail
and two large squares, cooked at an
angle, on the fuselage of the Ameri-
can ship.
