Massie today faced a grilling at the hands of Honolulu's vigorous young prosecutor, John C. Kelley. The young U.

In n voice sometimes hollow, sometimes strident, Massfe told how "vile rumors" about himself and his wife had arisen after Kahahawai and four other men had been tried on charges of attacking Mrs. Massio. The iury disagreed. Msssie said the rumors-that he was going to get a divorce; that hc had found Mrs. Mosaic in the company of another naval officer; that she had been “ ‘ ‘ by a group of naval officers and that she had not been attacked at all, but was merely a notoriety seeker -were untrue but had goaded him into action.
