They reconstructed the killing thus: Kahahawai was lured into the sedan, after Mrs. Fortescue's identification, by means of a faked warrant bearing the seal of the Chemical Warfare School in Maryland. He was taken to the Massie cottage in Manoa Valley where he was put into a tub of water, shot and allowed to bleed to death. His corpse was undressed and wrapped in bed sheets from which all laundry marks had been clipped. To support their theory...
