Affidavit of Ch. L.
Hopkins.
Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaiian Islands, ss:
And now comes Charles L. Hopkins, a subject of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and upon oath deposes and says:
That after the delivery of Minister Stevens’s answer to Her Majesty’s cabinet’s letter, your affiant remained at the police station-until Mr. J. H. Soper, at the head of the Provisional troops, numbering about 30 men, arrived at the police station, which was about 7:40 p.m. of the 17th day of January, 1893. Marshal Wilson and J. H. Soper made addresses to the police in the yard, and on the return of J. H. Soper in the marshal’s office your affiant shook hands with him and then took the 8 p.m. street car for home.
