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. he Grirgctoini Foothill Player Sue- ■i-umbs to Kls Iujurh*’.
