Kahuna methods used to force confession reveal theft
A Hawaii newspaper item reports Mrs. Metcalf had $297.60 stolen. Detective Kaaps used kahunas to frighten her into confession. John Spunei and Kussona, old kahunas, later found a cloth fragment and all but $20 of the money. The tale notes the plan succeeded and hints at belief in kahunas.
