A Hawaiian prisoner sick with fatigue rests in a county jail cell after a failed attempt to walk, requiring guard supervision. Doctors say he will live despite a gunshot wound that removed part of his frontal bone.

The body of Mrs Kekahaioa is en route from Amarillo to Salt Lake City via the Fort Worth Denver line, delayed two days by a misread money code transmitted by wire.
