, oommlttee on elections No. 1, apafhat
Deisgate Robert W. Wilcox, the Ha
i walien representative In the House of
1 HopressotaMves, by Osorge D. Dear,
of Hawaii, who submitted letter*
porting to be copies of letters written
by Wilcox to Filipino officials. Ths
alla**d letters are of a*ulghly sensa
tional'character. One bears th* al
leged signature of Wilcox. It la dated
HorolVlu. January «, lMt. and is
addressed to Dv. lossda Captain Marti
Burgos and genor J. Lama, aad Intro
duced to them "a friend of mine who
I* a very able man, to help you in your
•ause." Among other things, the let
ter says: "Mr. will lis a
uaeful ally to tight for ths cause of the
Philippine*. One thing Is sure that
you could reels* against any army of
limslon. Y®« havs a population of
13,000,000 and already a dls.lpllned

cause. I know well my profession as
an artillery officer. I have no fear
of the arhole world when I light tor a
legitimate cause like yours. Betwuen
General Agulnaldo's determination
and myself it would be' vety little
chance le!t to the Invadfng army of
the United States to conquer your -
country. Tell General Auilnaldo I
have already given my service for
your couLtry and I am ready to obey
orders to go to your country and light
for the Independence of your people
aad country at any moment."
Another letter, dated Honolulu,-
March 8, MM, says: "1 am thinking
to go to the Philippine Islands and
glv* my assistance to Aguinaldo
against toe invaders—the hypocritical
Yankees—ths carpet-bag politician,
Otto." *
The petition Says there waa no also*
tion machinery when Wilcox waa eleet
od delegats, November 6, 1W)0, and
that .jnaay voters therefore made no
attempt to vote. It is alleged "that
Wiloox, in his speeches prior to ths
election, made us* of the strongest
kind ot antl-American utterances for
the purpose of carrying th* election,
telling th* native Hawallans that ihs
Americans had stolen their oouutry
and that a vote tor bim waa a vote for
th* restoration of the Queen, and that
If hs were elected ths Queen would
be restored: that said Wilcox was and
la guilty ot treason against ths United
States in that he did ss petitioner is
Informed snd believes, since the an
nexation of said Hawaiian Islands,
write and send through the United
Statee malls certain letters highly
treasonable In their nature, wherein
be did counsel and incite others to s
engsge In open rebellion against tho~
United States, and did so offer his
own services.'
The petition, In conclusion, charges
his slsctlon wth Invalid; that 'h* Is
not a lit and proper person" to repre
sent Hawaii; alleges bigamy and fur
ther alleges written and uttered trea
sonable language; wherefore it Is pe
titioned he should be expelled from
Congress.
Mr. Wilcox says he has no fear of
the charges made. He admits that h*
wrote a letter to Dr. Losads, Captain
Burgos anl Senor Luna, Introducing
C. Caesar Morlno, an Italian of this
city, whom he knew while th* lat tar
waa in Hawaii, and to whom the un>

TIM Defendants (liven the Pull Pen
alty of the Law--A Severe Arraign
ment By the Judgj.
P*toraon» N. J., Special.—Walter C.
McAHster. Wm. A. Death and Andre*
J. Campbell, who were found guilty of
murder la the cetoAd degree, for the
killing of Jennie Boaschletcrt on Octo
ber 18, by the admlnlateraUon of
chloral and subsequent rape, together
with George J. Kerr, who pleaded m>n
vult contendere to a charge of rape,
were brought Into the Court of Oyer
and Terminer here for sentence by
Judge Dixon. Ale A Deter, Campbell
and Death were each soDtenced to SO
yews' Imprisonment -at hard' labor
and Kerr to 14 years' Imprisonment
at hard labor. The roatence of all the
■en are the full terma of Imprison
ment which the law 'provide*, hut In
the oaae of Kerr a fine of SI,OOO might
have been added.
The court house was crowded. In
the court room were the father, step
mother and sleter of Jennie Qoes
ohleter. Counsel for all the defen
dants pleaded for clemency, McAllster
and Campbell looked extremely pale'
and Death had the appearance of suf
fering greatly under the strain.
Judge Dixon, addreaalng the three 1
prisoners, said; "You stand convicted
of murder In the second degree. Had
you been found guilty of murder In the
first degree the punishment would
have been death, but the leniency of
toe Jury in the exercise of their law
ful authority saved you from the gal
lows. We must administer laws as
they are. It Is true thsae sentences
will dcistroy your Uvee, obliterating
every prospect of an honorable exist
ence among the people. The court
oannot make any distinction, but
must sentence you for this crime. I
trust the fearful consequence* from
this crime will help young men and
young women of this community and
point out to thorn thait they oannot
hope to secure happineas outside of
virtue and honor. The sentience of the
court Is that each of you be Imprison
ed In the Stats prison at Trenton at
hard labor for a term of 30 years."
Qeorge J. Kerr WHS then called t»
the bar, and by his attorney entered s
plea of non vult contendere to the
charge of assault Counsel asked the
court to exercise clemency. He spoke
of the prisoner's father, said to be
dying, and of hie sisters, wife and six
children. Judge Dixon at once passed
sentence. He said: >
"The evidence In this case does not
say that you helped In administering
the drug, but participated In the rav
ishment of the glrl.n In one respect
your case is worse than the others.
You were older and had more obllga-„
tlons for virtue. You had a wife,
worthy of the highest affections, and
children for your concern, but you
disregarded all and permitted your
self to drift away from a proper do
mestic life and now you stand here a
wreck of vice and crime, and such a
crime! No wonder It shocked the com
munity and startled every womanly
and manly heart. Tha/t pitiless ride,
that dastardly outrage, the poor vic
tim laid dead by the roadside regard
less of whether she would be found by
kind friends or by beasts. How gladly
would I spore your relatives, but In
the exercise of my duty I cannot with
hold anything which the sentence of
the law requires. The sentence of the
court Is that you be Imprisoned In
the State prison for a term of 15 years
at hard labor."
McAllarter, Campbell and Death and
Kerr made a statement to £he public
It say*: "We are resigned to our late
and propose to face the future with
manly hearts, dark as It Is. We have
no criticism to make, but we want to
thank the newspapers of Peterson for
their sense of fairness. We could say
many things thot would tend to abate
the public Indignation, but we propose
to bear our punishment In silence. Wo
