• The late Prince Kunuiakea got honors bestowed upon him at his death which were never showered upon him during life Peculiar isn;t it the way things are done in these days of Americanism

When Judd learned of Peabody's second account of the auction from Lahilahi Webb five years later in May, l923, he examined the court records of the estates of Queen Kalama, King Lunalilo, and Charles Kana'ina but found "... no mention of the malo or 'kaei' of Kaumualii in the inventories of those estates" (Judd l923) . A recent examination of the official probate records (Probates l562; 24l3; 24l4; 2426) by the present author also failed to turn up evidence of such a feather garment, notwithstanding the painstaking inventory of the Kana'ina property filed April 7, l877, by William Cooper Parke, administrator of the estate (Probate 2426). Unfortunately, neither the English nor Hawaiian newspaper coverages of the auction mentions Kalakaua's alleged snatching of the feather sash. Interestingly, however, the official court records do show a curious and possibly relevant transaction: the transfer on May 24, l877, of $l00.00 from the Kana'ina Estate to the Lunalilo Estate. Although the purpose of the payment is not stated, the sum would have been the approximate contemporary evaluation of the feather sash, a feather cape in Queen Kalama 's possession having been appraised some seven years earlier at $25.00. Had Kalakaua in fact taken the feather sash, as Peabody claimed, the Lunalilo Estate could have demanded reimbursement from the Kana'ina Estate for its loss of auction receipts through this act of "royal prerogative." By Lunalilo 's will and inheritance procedures fixed by the courts, proceeds from the settlement of Kana'ina's estate were to be channeled into the Lunalilo Trust for the establishment of a home for the care of aged and indigent Hawaiians. Whether Kal5kaua reimbursed an equivalent sum to to the Kana'ina Estate is not shown by the records. It seems unlikely, however, that the administrator of the estate, Parke, would have approached the king for payment. Unfortunately, statements given Stokes by Mrs. A. A. Montano, an alleged witness to the Kana'ina auction incident, do not confirm Peabody's account. Instead, this informant reported that Charles H. Judd, one of the administrators of Queen Kalama's estate, gave the feather sash to Kalakaua--an unlikelihood not corroborated by any other evidence. Mrs. Montano Stated, November 27, l9l8, when asked concerning the malo of Kaumualii that she knew of the malo, but not as that of Kaumualii. She stated that the feather malo had come down from Liloa to Kamehameha 111. That Kamehameha III had connection with Liliha, the wife of Kaeo, and left the malo with Liliha as proof of his paternity of the expected child. Of this union twins were born, one dark and one fair. The dark child was sent to the King with the malo. After the dark child was examined by several Kahunas in succession, each advised the King to return him because he would not live. The dark child was returned to the parents and died. The fair child was then sent to Kamehameha III , and was brought up by the King and Queen Kalama. He was named Albert Kunuiakea. Mr. Charles Judd was in charge of Queen Kalama's affairs, and after the death of the latter, Kunuiakea came to Mrs. Montano in great distress and told her that the malo had been lost (lilo) to him, because Judd had given it to Kalakaua. Kunuiakea was distressed at the loss of the Malo because it was the evidence of his Paternity by Kamehameha III. The Hawaiian Gazette for May 2, l877, reported of the auction, which lasted several days beginning April 30: "It included many interesting relics once belonging to Liholiho [Kamehameha II], Kauikeaouli [Kamehameha III], Kekauluohi [wife of Charles Kana'ina], Kaahumanu [principal wife of Kamehameha I], and Queen Kalama, the venerated Kanaina. . . . The sale was attended by a large number of natives, who were almost crazy to get certain articles, and will probably continue for two days more." . . . Mrs. Montano said she had not seen -39-
