The effectiveness of Honolulu juries, despite their racial mixture is upheld by Albert E. Sheets, an assistant United | Btates district attorney. and member of & recent Federal investigation party. | Sheets’ investigation showed that in five years ended December 31, 46 cases involving sex violence against women, nine being white, were filed. Twenty-two cases were tried and convictions ob- tained in all but four. Any mainland prosecutor would be glad to obtain a similar percentage of convictions, Sheets asserted. Most juries contained people of six races. Seives Two Purposes. The duty of Sheets, regularly at- tached to the Northern California dis- trict, was to investigate the Honolulu jury panel of 1,000 names and the office of the city and county attorney that had charge of the prosecution of crim- | inal cases. “The jury system was origi- nated primarily fo meet the needs of the white man,” said Sheets, “buf in Honolulu it finds itself at the cross- roads of humanity’s East and West “So the jury system is drafwed to accomplish a double purpose of justice not only for tke white man but al- most every racial complexion to which an osth to tell the truth sc help him God is not an oath at all but just a word. “That under such circumstances the | jury system in Honolulu should m]‘ ‘would seem certain, yet exactly the op- | posite is true. | Bateber Many Races in Panel | November .

She told how he had come home to hear her story of the attack: how she had gone to the hospital, had an operation to prevént motherhood and how she had identified four of the accused men. Witness Breaks Down. Describing the seizure and atiack she said “I was walking down the road that ight when a car drove up and stopped beside me. It Was an open touring car. Chang (one of the attack-case defendants) and Kahahawai hit me on the jaw and Chang sald, ‘Come on, baby, you're going for a ride.’ “I tried to get them to let me go and they dragged me into the car. Then they drove off up the road and drageed = into the bushes.” 57 High Low High Low Sets 6:50 Rises. Sun, today.... 5:24 Sun, tomorrow 5:23 6:51 Moon, today 8:22 pm 5:30am.

I offered them money and tried to pray, but they wouldn't even let me pray.” “What were the others doing while this was going on?” Darrow asked. “They were standing around, talking and laughing.” Mrs. Massie said her husband had been “just wonderful’ during her sub- sequent ordeal, bit had been able to sleep little and ate only a few mouth- fuls of food at a time. Rebuttal Due Today. Jones, Mrs. Massie said, came to her house the morning of the slaying and seemed excited. In reply to her query, she said, Jones told her Kahahawai had been killed. Mrs. Massie testified Jones had told her he had sent Massie “off with your mother.” On cross examination Mrs. Massie denied she had said in a telephone con- versation with Lieut. Leo Paul: “Leo, cover him all up.” With Mrs. Massie's story ending the defense's case, the prosecution’s rebut- tal was in order today. Kelley an- nounced Dr. Paul Bowers, Los Angeles alienist, would arrive during the day to testify for the prosecution regarding the instanity plea in Massie's behalf.

Fortescue's eyes filled with tears An objection by Kelley forced Darrow to switch the questioning to facts about herself and husband after the attack. Darrow asked when she first met Massie after the attack The witness burst into tears at the mention of her husband’s name. She sobbed as_Massie looked at the floor and Mrs. Fortescue turned appealingly to George S. Leisure, associate defense attorney, who halted the questioning and comforted Mrs. Massie Identified Four Men. “I saw him,” Mrs. Massie finally aald | between gasps, “at home. I heard him coming up the walk. He heard me orying and asked me what was the matter The tears continued, but she went on “I didn't want to tell him because it was so terrible. Then I told him they beat me and assaulted me.” Mrs. Masse told how she had gone home the night of the attack, aftey| being taken to the hospital. and how “Tommy," as she called her husband | put her o bed. She told of her sleey- | lessness and how she had identife Henry Chang, Kahahawal, Horace Ida and Ben Ahakenlo, as four of the men who had participated I the assault She did not identify David Takal, the fifth suspect The witness told how the suspects were brought to the hospital after she had been taken there for s second time. She sald she had put rubber bands on her broken jaws to hold them together and then had gone to the hospital for about a week ‘Was Tommy there any of the time? Darrow queried “Yes, he was there nearly all the time until they made him go away He was just wonderful” Another burst of tears interrupted the testimony for a moment and then she went on | “He never complained, slthough T called him all through the night. He didn't sleep anyway Darrow Hastens Questions, Darrow hurried through the tioning then to release the witr soon as possible. Mrs. Massie tes her physician, Dr. Paul Withington, had told her she was to become a mother and how he performed an op- eration, She related how Massie had | gone to sea during the attack trial and | how she had sent him a message tell- ing of the jury disagreement. Then | she repeated the rumors about her husband and herself. Mrs. Massie said her husband later | mentioned it would be wonderful if they could get a confession from those accused of the attack. | “I told him not to worry," she con- | tinued, “but he worried anyhow. He walked up and down at night. I knew | things he liked and tried to cook them because he wasn't eating. But he would eat only a few mouthfuls and then go off and smoke a cigarette.” Mrs. Massic testifed the defendant Jones had been sent to her home as a guard a few days before the killing, and that on the morning of the tragedy he appeared there about 10 o'clock, an hour after the slaying “He seemed excited” she said. “I said ‘What's the matter, Jones?’ and he said Kahihawai had been killed. I said ‘Where is Tommy?' and he said ‘I sent him off with your mother. He asked if he could have a drink and I said I | would fix him a highball. He said that wasn't enough; that he would pour one.” No Calls From Jones. There the witness was turned over to Kelley, who swiftly led up to the | mysterious document oy askmg her Massie always had been kind and c siderate. She answered affirmatively Then the prosecutor asked if she had taken the psychopathic examination and handed her the paper for identifi- cation of her own handwriting. Then came the outburst On cross-examination Kelley also asked about telephone calls to her house | the morning of the killing. She said no calls had come from Jones. “Are you positive?” Kelley demanded. “yesr | Under the grilling she then said she had mixed but one drink for Jones | but that he “made & good many for | himself.” | The prosecutor wanted to know | whether she had given her maid any instructions about what to tell officers |if they asked about Jones.

Massie broke down she quickly regalned contre nd she got through the day fairly well until the end, when Kelley began cross-examin- ing her. Then there came a transfor- mation from the pathetic-looking figure into a woman who with low voice, but face blazing, turned on him as he produced paper containing facts regarding her feeling toward her husband before the assault. It was part of @& psychiatric examination made by Dr. E. Lowell Kelly of the University of Hawall, The prosecutor handed her the paper and asked if the answers there were in her handwriting. She looked up at Mr. Kelley in quiet fury “Where did you gel manded. “Don't v that this is a confidential communication be- tween doctor and patient?” As Mrs. Massie spok> she slowly tore the paper in two and went on tearing it in small bits. “I refuse to say whether that is my handwriting or not.” she went on in low, terse tones. “What right have you to bring this into a public court? As she finished there was not much left of the document which Mr. Kelley had given her, and as she tossed the fragments aside there was a burst of applause from the spectators. Kelley Was Mad. Lieut. Massie sat as if stunned for a moment and then leaned forward, his hands with long, swift movements of his arms. Judge Davis, who' has been extremely lenient toward the public, turned angrily and threat- ened to clear the room if there was not immediate silence. Mr. Kelley's neck had been getting redder and redder as he watched the witness, and as they stared at each other, he biurted out: “Thank you, Mrs. Massie. At last you've shown yourself in your true colors.” Quickly Judge Davis said: “Your language is objectionable.” It was evident that Mr. Kelley was mad clear through and so was the woman, despite the emoticnal strain she had undergone. She left the witness stand and moved forward, half bending over as if she found it difficult to stand, twisting the handkerchief in her hands in_a long roll, and her husband went * she de- where Massie was. She said she told him she would try to find out and send him to Pearl Harbor. Kelley did not say whether be would continue questioning Mrs. Massle at the because she was tired and bored. Massie | had telephoned and wanted to know |resumpt'on of the trial tomorrow. THE BEST P ropped her head on his shoulder as he ot his arms around her and heiped her into a seat. Throwing her arms around tiim she eried loudly and hysterically What right has he got to say that I don 't Jove you? Everybody knows that I Jve yon.” For the first time she sobbed out loud and for a few moments there was a feriing of sympathetic embarrassment amorg the spectators, mixed with we der at such an unexpected outbu: from one who had been so well con trolled under difficuities. It was as if all the dramatic and emotional parts of ner character had welled up in that one fina and it left had watched the fquick ent of the exciting and somewhat theatrical scene. Dreaded Taking Stand. Theres were a few other witnesses. but everything else was submerged with the appearance of Mrs. Massie. She came Into the court room for the first tim and sat between her husband and her mother, Mrs. Granville Fortescue, co- defendant with Lieut. Massie and two Navy enlisted men, E. J. Lord and A 0. Jones, for the killing of Joseph Kahahawa!, 2 Hawalian. She undoubt edly looked forward with dread to her appearance on the stand to repeat the p of the attack upon her last Sep. tember. She had been in the court on & few minutes when she asked for a drink of water. She walted, holding her husband hand, during the cross-examination of Dr. Everett Willlams. allenist defense. When Mr. Darrow called for her, she went forward stoopingly and groped for the witness chair before the clerk stopped her. Then for a moment she stood straight with hand raised and sat down with the curiously quiet de- meanor of a little girl. There was a faintly wistful look in a face which otherwise is almost expressionless. On one side of her jaw could be seen a slight mark where she was beaten at the time of the attack.
