Thugs and gamblers in Hawaii hotel murder case
A coroner's jury finds a lurid case of murder tied to a Front Street hotel in Hilo. Mot o Hiro, a respected carpenter, was slain after being blackmailed by Funakoshi and associates including gamblers and a wrestling umpire. Sixteen Japanese residents, many described as thugs, confronted him seeking $1000, he refused, and he died from two neck wounds. Police mounted a wide investigation as attorneys sought access to clients, with Judge Hapal continuing the case to August 6 under sheriff custody pending coroner inquiry.
