TORTURED BY HAWAIIANS.
A
Story of I'U'ii'lMi Atrocity of
th
AlotlioiN or tho (lotorniiii-ut.
San Fiiaxcimo Feb. 18. Tho Call
prints the following from Honolulu
"The success of the government of
Hawaii in conducting its treason cihcs
was due to the incriminating uviduuua
given by Captain William Davies of
the steamer Wntmnnolo. The man-
ner in which the sworn statement
was wrung from Davies is interesting
as shotvinjr Vila4 peculiar logttl process
at present existing in the Hawaiian
islands.
"Davies and his mate Kuuilsou
were arrested on the morning of
January 5. Knudsou made a confes-
sion telling what little lie knew.
Davies who is an American citixeu
refused to give any information and
while protesting his innocence de-
manded tin interview with the United
States minister. This was refused.
Davies was then taken into tho prison
yard where lie was shown two ring
lulls in the wall above his head. The
uniformed inquisitors of the ijovern-
ment then gave tho captain to under-
stand that if a complete confession
was not forthcoming ho would be
strung up by tho thumbs.
"Davies did not llinch but de-
manded that if the American minister
could not come the consul general
should bo informed that ho was an
American citizen and wished to sc
him. His. protest was in vain. His
legs were bound below the knees and
his thumbs were laced with whipcord
to the ring bolts. A box was placed
below him so that tho unfortunate
man's toes just touched it.
"Davies was stripped to tho waist
while Marshal Hitchcock Attorney
General Smith and Surgeon Cooper
with a stenographer awaited the
statement which thoy believed would
bo shortly forthcoming. Thoy were
mistaken. Davies would not weaken.
Sw'eat oozed from every pore. Tho
strong man in his agony beggetl a
drop of water to cool the thirst that
consumed him. The tendons of the
victim'b limbn stood out like strands
of rope; blood vessels knotted on 1 1 is
arms and legs swelling as
if ready to burst with con-
gested blood restrained in its course
by his abnormal position. His tor-
mentors urged him to implicate all
known to bo politically opposed to
their methods without avail. Davies
rcfusod to surrender tho seorot ho had
sworn to protoct. At last when It
wns apparent by his respiration thnt
it would bo impossible to hold out
longer nature succumbed and Davies
cursing tho llonds who were torturing
him fainted. Dr. Cooper usod salts
of ammonia to revive the captain
who had passed into the painless
realms of unconsciousness.
"As soon as he ivvlvod two negro
convicts again suspended him by tho
thumbs. This inhuman operation
wns begun at noon and it was 0
o'clock in the ovenlng before Davios
more dead than nllve made tho stato-
ment which respited him from tho in-
human barbarity of his porsocutors.
Another enso of torturo was brought
to light in military inquiry. A young
native who was known to be inti-
mate with Carl Woidmnn wns hand-
culled ut tho wrists and ankles. Thon
with a refinement of cruelty which
would shock a Persian satrap ho was
placotl in u tank of ice cold wntor. He
was Kept tnoro until the circulation
of blood iu his extremitios had almost
coased and Dr. Cooper who appears
in tho unsnviable light of arch
inquisitor declared that the action
of the heart was almost suspended.
The chief of polleo Marshal Hitch-
cook had tho young Kanaka taken
from tho tank and. uftor being ro-
stored from his condition of semi-un-oonsoiousnoss
tho torture was admin-
istered again. Flesh and blood could
6taud such inhumanity no longer and
the much needed confession was
given."
