The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., June 20, 1916
BLANCAFLOR, EMILIA
FILIPINO WOMAN SLASHED TO DEATH.  At about 8:30 o'clock Tuesday morning in Camp 4, 
Makaweli, a Filipino woman named Emilia Blancaflor was literally cut to pieces 
with a knife said to have been in the hands of a man named Braulio Gomez with whom 
she was living. Gomez had been sick and was in a bad mood. It is claimed by the 
police that he accused the woman of neglecting him. Just before the tragedy, the 
woman had taken a walk and, returning, sat on the steps of the house. Gomez came 
out of the house with a huge knife. The woman realized her danger and ran away but 
was caught and slashed to death. Neighbors notified the police and an arrest 
followed. Gomez has been charged with murder, and the case will be taken up by the 
grand jury at its next session.
