EVIDENCE
Sometimes the entire fate of a momentous trial hinges upon some
word or incident introduced by accident or inadvertence.
It remained for a few words asked by the prosecutor in the trial
of Lieut. Thomas H. Massie, Mrs. Massie and her mother, Mrs. Gran
ville Fortescue, on trial in Honolulu for the alleged execution of a
dastardly rape fiend, to supply the illustration. .
The prosecutor handed Mrs. Massie a paper on which was written
the question of whether or not she had had an affair with a physician.
In this instance the question bears but negligible relation to the
trial at issue. But it supplies irrefutable evidence that the charges of
corruption, incompetency and other equally venal acts, leveled by in
vestigators on official Honolulu are true.
Although it has been customary for lawyers to go to extreme, and
at times unwarranted, lengths in browbeating witnesses and principals
in litigation, it is astounding that the prosecutor in the Massie case
should stoop to the abysmal depths of attempting to desmirch the
character of one who was the victim in a crime where the punishment
for which apparently had fallen short in that every member of the gang
of four rape fiends were not subjected to the same fate meted out to
Joseph Kahahawai, whom the defendants are accused of killing, follow
ing the assault upon Mrs. Massie and their subsequent release by a jury.
It is this aversion to such nauseating and depraved tactics as used
by the prosecutor which is pleaded in extenuation of lynching for similar
crimes. The question is debatable if it is not justifiable.
Possibly the prosecutor is the type of man wrho rises from the gutter
and reaches exalted heights. The unfortunate part of such ascensions
is that some such carry the filth of the previous environment along
with them.
At least no lawyer With a vestige of chivalry and the instincts of
a gentleman would have stabbed the wound in the rape victim’s heart
by such a course.
PENNY WISE AND—
There is such a thing as carry
ing economies too far. Such seems
to be the case with the Seward
City Council which has decreed to
save a few pennies by cutting off
street illumination in the dark
hours after midnight. Should any
one miscalculate a step on some
of the streets and break a leg, or
something, where will the socalled
economy be? Such an accident
may happen at any moment. When
the street lights are turned off at
night and citizens flashlights are
brought into play, a stranger with
in the gates might well believe he
has the well known “heebe jee
bies;” that footpads and burglars
have taken over the village.
Federal and State governments might raise some badly needed rev
enue by taxing legislators for the privilege of introducing fool bills.
