Morris incident or The Rough House Case

[edit]

In 1904, Honolulu newspapers reported a strange incident involving Mrs. Elizabeth Lapana in which Mrs. Mary Morris, the attractive wife of J. H. Love,[note 1] assaulted Lapana, her daughter and a police officer; it was termed "The 'Rough House' Case."[4][5] While riding pass Kukui lane and Nuuanu street on her hack in the evening, Mary Morris saw Lapana and her younger daughter Mary Achuck walking home. Lapana was wearing a new shawl, which Morris mistook to be her missing lap robe. Jumping from the horse-drawn vehicle, Morris grabbed the shawl from Lapana's shoulder, "handling her carelessly."[6] Lapana's daughter tried helping her, but Morris struck her across the face and attempted to drive away from the scene. A young police officer Joe Vierra arrived on the scene in response to a cry for help and tried to detain the assailant from escaping by holding on to her reins. Morris whipped the officer across the abdomen drawing blood. Shortly after she was arrested and taken to the police station where she pleaded guilty.[4][7] Morris was charged with three charges of assault and battery and fined five dollars for the incident. The Hawaiian Gazette noted that "four nationalities were represented" in the interesting incident[5]; Lapana was Hawaiian, her daughter was Chinese, Morris was Caucasian and Officer Vierra was Portuguese. The driver of Morris' vehicle, who refused to leave the scene, was also Japanese.[4][6]
