The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., Mar. 23, 1915
CABANOBIAS, ESTEBEN B.
TRIES TO MURDER, THEN KILLS SELF.  Kilauea was the scene of an attempted double 
murder and suicide last Thursday afternoon, as a result of which Esteben B. 
Cabanobias, Filipino, aged 24 years, is dead and two women are wounded in the 
breast. One of the women is the wife and the other the sister-in-law of the 
suicide. Cornelia Salanoy Cabanobias, the wife, and Eugenia Salanoy, the sister-
in-law, were fired upon unexpectedly, the bullets in both cases entering the 
breasts of the victims. Both women will recover. After shooting his relations, 
Esteben retired to his room, wrote a statement, then put the revolver to his head 
and fired, the bullet entering the brain and causing practically instant death. A 
coroner's jury found to substantially the above facts. In his written statement, 
which is in the possession of the Sheriff, Esteben accused his wife of having had 
improper relations with one Beloy Ipig and stated that the matter had preyed on 
his mind a great deal. Ipig, according to him, had been a good man in the 
Philippines but had gone to the bad here. Here he (Esteben) had supported him 
(Ipig). He went on to say that the purpose of writing was to acquaint his 
relations at Dolague, Cebu, Philippine Island, of the reasons for his acts. His 
children are consigned to the care of four friends, by name, Jose, Enig, Patol and 
Pedro (the writer evidently thought when writing that he had killed his wife and 
sister-in-law), and Esteben expresses the hope that he and his errant wife may 
meet in the same place hereafter. The letter is scrawled in pencil upon two sheets 
torn from an ordinary office journal.
