Hawaii resents intervention by Kentucky legislature
Territorial lawmakers met in special session to clean up Hawaii and assure safe conditions for women, while denouncing the Kentucky legislature for urging release of the “revenge murder” defendants. Attorney Montgomery Winn said he would seek habeas corpus for four Americans held in connection with the death of a Hawaiian charged with participating in an attack on Mrs Massie unless grand jury indictments are returned. The Massie case and related remarks dominated the day as Hawaii officials prepared to vote on a condemnation resolution. A separate item reports a fire in New Freedom, Pa., destroying a cannery and two warehouses with losses over $50,000.
