A FATAL FIGHT.
Henry Williams Comes to His Death from a Street Scuffle.
Henry Williams, a half-white driver in the employ of Sanders' Express, came to an untimely death last night. At 5 o'clock he was quarreling on Queen street with another driver named Ferreira, brother of Frank "the runaway catcher," and words led to blows. Williams struck at Ferreira and challenged him to a fight, when Ferreira hit him first under the chin and then on the breast. The second blow knocked Williams violently to the earth, his head striking a stone. The fallen man lay motionless and turned up his eyes.
"You have killed that man," said Mr. Kennedy of the Honolulu Iron Works office, who was passing on his way home.
The striker and some comrades became alarmed and picking up the unconscious man carried him into Mr. Morgan's auction room. Dr. McKibbin was sent for, and after restorative treatment Williams, who had recovered consciousness, was sent to his home on Kinau street.
On reaching the house he was helped, walking with a stagger, inside. He said to his wife:
"Aloha oe; e make ana wau" (Love to you; I am going to die).
Mrs. Chapman and Mrs. R. N. Boyd, his sisters, were sent for. Dr. Henri McGrew was also summoned and found Williams conscious and able to talk. After some attention to the patient the doctor left, saying he would be all right in the morning. The sisters went home but when they returned later their brother was dead, he having died between 7:30 and 7:45 o'clock.
Before Williams died he told the story of his fatal quarrel, candidly admitting his own part in promoting it. Ferreira called to see him and he said, "That's the man I had a fight with," adding that he drove express No. 39 and was a brother of Frank Ferreira. The dead man leaves a widow and six young children. His age was 31 years.
Deputy Marshal Mehrten and Capt. Nahoolewa, after visiting the house of mourning, proceeded to the house of Mr. Ferreira and, at midnight, arrested his son Joe, who had the fight with Williams. This morning the Deputy Marsahl empaneled a jury and began an inquest on the dead man, which was adjourned to await the report of a post mordem examination.

INCRIMINATING VERDICT.
Joe Ferreira was the Agent of Henry Williams' Death.

Keawe, W. H. Kahumoku, J. I. Keawelaku, Kanoa, and J. W. Mikasobe. After the examination of several witnesses the jury returned the verdict, "That Henry Williams came to his death on Monday, the 21st day of December, through fracture of the skull caused by a fall on the stone pavement, resulting from a blow given to him by Joe Ferreira, a Portugues."
