YOUN'G BA H UN IS DEAD.
Vancouver, B. C.. March M.-Sotne
days ago, a man named Houck, clalm-
ln« to be a lawyer from Honolulu, ar-
bvve and proceeded to lmereat
hlhirtelf In the cases of the three deport
ed exiles, Mueller, Cranston and John
stone. He Interviewed numerous local
men, and learned as much as possible
regordtng the rtatements by them.
Saturday night William A. Kinney,
J——a- *— vacate, wfiC prccldqd at the r*-
cent oourt martial In Honolulu, arrived
here. When Interviewed, Kinney was
very guarded In his statements, but It
was ascertained that he had come here
In connection with ,the suit Instituted
by the exiles against the Chnadlan-
Auftraltem Steamship company, the ex-
See claiming 660,000 damages each. Th#
Hawaiian government had to give the
steamship company bond to Idemnlfy
them against any action that might
be brought and the government has ac
cordingly decided to fight the suit to the
end. Mr. Kinney engaged Mr. E. P.
Davis, queen's counsellor, of this city,
one of the ablest lawyers of the west,
to fight the case and brought with
mm numerous documents relative to
the expelled mon. The Hawaiian gov
ernment claim that In the deportation
they were acting within lntematonal
. . *5? th * t ln any ca *e the darnges
clalrodd are absurd as the men were
only making a bare living In Honolulu.
Both Messrs. Davte and Kinney refuse
to state the line at defense but hinted
that some startling developments would
be marie ait the trial. Mr. Kinney left
again hurriedly on Sunday and It Is
understood that ho has gone to San
Francisco.
Washington. March 20.—The noted
Whltecap cas.'S from Alabama were un
der 'argument $n the .supreme court to
day after tho Ddbs ease had been takeu
under consideration. Rather an un
usual! condition of things was presented
ln the record and by the briefs filed.
Wiley and William Pruett were taken
from their beds on the night of March
4, 1896, by a party of about twenty
men and severely whipped, each receiv
ing seventy-five lashes with a large
stick, “until," as the record says, “they
were 'bloody from their shoulders to
their knees, their backs being lacerated
ln many places, tne skin bring cut ln
slashes six or eight inches long.'* The
night was Inclement, and, aside from
the whipping, the Pruetts suffered
greatly from exposure. For this as
sault J. W. Todd and twenty-six otlr
era were Indicted ln the United States
oourt for the northern district of Ala
bama, under section 6,406 revised
statutes, the Indictment charging that
they “did combine, conspire and con
federate together by force, Intimidation
and threats to Injure Wiley Pruett and
AVI Clam Pruett, who had theretofore
been witnesses and tesunea against jo*
Arnold, Milton Farmer and Georgs
Holly upon a charge of endeavoring
to influence, Intimidate and Impede
witnesses ln a court of the United
States, tried preliminarily by nnd be
fore Rdbert Cbarlson, acting as a com
missioner of the circuit court of the
United States for said district, In their
person and property, owing to the said
witnesses having testified In said cause
ln said court as aforesaid,” and ln pur
suance of such conspiracy did beat the
Pruetts as stated.
On the trial of the case Todd and
thirteen others were convicted nnd
sentenced to four years' imprisonment
each and the payment of a fine of 6500.

that the Indicted parties were not
guilty of Inflicting the whipping, and
that If they were It was administered
not because the Pfuetts had been wit
nesses In a United States murt against
their neighbors, but because they de
served It on general principles.
