HONOR KILLING NET TIGHTENS ON AMERICANS Witnesses Tell Vivid Story of Abduction and Death of Half Caste. (Coovrißht. 1932. br United Pre*** COURTROOM. HONOLULU. April 12—The vivid story of Joe Kahahawai's kidnaping and death tightened a net of circumstantial evidence around four American defendants today as prosecutors swiftly developed their murder case before a jury of whites and browns. False mustaches, the dreaded Koko Head “blower” geyser and Kahahawai's bloody, bullet-marked clothes figured in the tale which the territory relied upon to send Mrs. Grace Bell Fortescue and three navy men to Oahu prison for life. Clarence Darrow, bulwark of the defense, lolled Indolently in his big leather chair and helped Prosecutor John Kelley unravel the story. His manner disclosed better than words that the defense will not deny the “honor slaying,” but will rely on a plea of temporary insanity. Kelley likely wall complete his case Wednesday. Mrs. Fortescue, who with her son-in-law, Lieutenant Thomas H. Massic, and Edward Lord and Albert Jones, sailors, faces second degree murder charges, matched stoicism with Darrow's nonchalance. Once, when Detective George Harbottle pointed to her as the driver of Kahahawai’s death car, the gray-haired society matron leaped from her chair her eyes blazing. Then, without a word, she slumped back. In Kelley’B opening statement to the jury and in questioning five witnesses the first day of testimony, no mention was made of the famous Ala Moana attack case out of which this trial grew. Kelley studiously avoided reference to the attack on blue-eyed Thalia Fortescue Massie, the navy lieutenant’s bride, by five island hoodlums—of whom Kahahawai allegedly was one. Darrow made no preparatory statement to the jury of seven Caucasians and five islanders and orientals. Edward Ulii, first prosecution witness, described how Kahahawai was spirited from the steps of this same courthouse last Jan. 9. He sprang from the stand and pointed angrily at Jones. “That’s one of the men who took Joe away,” he cried.

The native turned to Lieutenant Massie, staring at the floor. “That’s the other one. He wore a false mustache, but I know him.” He said a woman pointed out Kahahawai to the two men. Kelley charged the woman was Mrs. Fortescue, but Ulii did not identify her. Detective Harbottle took up the story. He and Coroner William Hoopai chased a speeding sedan along the road to Koko head. “We found Kahahawai’s body inside, wrapped in a canvas sheet,” he added, “He had been shot to death.” Then he identified Mrs. Fortescue as the driver and Lieutenant Massie and Lord as the other occupants of the car. Darrow sat without protest as Kahahawai’s tattered clothing was given the jury as evidence. The shirt, shoes and trousers were found knotted together in the death car, Hoopai said.

8,000 Goldfish Homeless as Hydrant Is Broken

FISH can’t live long out of water, but most of an array of 8.000 goldfish died Monday because of too much water. Consequently. Herbert F. Bader. 3748 English avenue, who deals in fish and also operates a radio “hospital,” today finds one of his sources of revenue a “dead” loss. The tragedy that brought death to most of the 8,000 inhabitants of Bader's backyard pools, was one on which Bader had not reckoned. A Greyhound bus, swerving to avoid collision with an auto, mapped a utility pole and fire hydrant near Bader's home. The water

line of the hydrant burst forth with more water than has been seen in the vicinity for many years. In fact residents, including Bader,, never saw so much water in one place. Bader was juggling tubes and condensers in his radio “hospital” when he heard and saw the deluge. He departed the confines of his shop in a panic. On his way out he passed several hundred of his goldfish which had left their pools, not as a matter of self-preservation—which motivated Bader—but because the pools were overflowing. The w’ater from the broken hydrant made inroads in Bader’s basement and the yards and homes of neighbors. And with the rush of water came many of Bader’s fish.

water came many or isaaer s nsn. After the flow had been blocked, hundreds of the fish flipped tails against w'ater-soaked ground and sought a return ticket to their fresh-water homes. But not a chance; they perished. However, the other fish that had stayed at home by battling the current, did not fare so well, either. nun WHEN Bader returned, he found most of them had died. They were • killed by foreign matter washed into the pools. Basements of homes near the tragedy scene were pUmped out by fire companies. The only other casualty of the collision and subsequent “flood” was a dislocated finger incurred by Harry Bales, driver of the bus. Bales blames Mrs. Eileen Cory, living on the Thirty-eighth street road, near the Hancock-Marion county line, for the accident. She was driving an automobile and Bales asserts he swerved the bus to avoid striking her car. She asserts she stopped as the bus approached and then proceeded. William Lynch, R. R. 12, Box 267, who was in the car with her, bears out her statement, as does Clyde E. Roads, 2847 English avenue, who witnessed the crash. Don Franklin, a state policeman,
