Charged with murder. - - t
Hanoaka waa arrested at Harrisburg,
Or. Friday, whence be fled after the

sault with a deadly weapon with intent
to commit murder. ,: .' . -
Three other. Japanese are under arreat
on suspicion of complicity. T. . Shlral
received a severe cut oa the neck, ftad S.
Shlma was stabbed In. the forearm. O.
T. Kado la held as ft witness, : Hanoaka
la aald by the police to have practically
admitted the crime, saying It was done
with a pocket knife found, on him when
arrested. The Dollce think the eaaa la
lying, as tha wound was deep and made
with a sharp blade, whereas the pocket
knife has a -short blade and la dull.
Hanoaka waa sent to the penitentiary
for a crime committed at Astoria, and
Furl testified against him. Since then
the alleged murderer Is said to have
harbored a .'revengeful feeling toward

Fugi did not accuse Hanoaka of his
murder, saying he was out while trying
to stop the nght between other Japanese.
The wounding 'of Shlral ftnd Shlma
