Japanese Witness Under Guard Faced Threats in Hawaii Murder Case
In Honolulu a Japanese woman Nakamura Tokue, key witness in the Funakoshi Tatsugoro and Watanabe Masaji murder case, faced a plotted poisoning and threats. Jailor Henry exposed letters and a conspiracy involving Funakoshi and associates, details traced to Sheriff Andrews's 1903 missive urging Tokue be kept in jail. Tokue remains under strict guard as investigators and the Attorney General sift evidence gathered from guards and other inmates.
