The Garden Island, Lihue, Kauai, Tues., 11-25-1919
TANABE, RINTARO
JAPANESE HANGS HIMSELF.  R. Tanabe, an employee of the Lihue Plantation Company, 
committed suicide by hanging himself to the limb of a tree on the edge of the 
Grove Farm forest near Lihue mill last Saturday night. According to facts gained 
at the inquest, Tanabe, who was a married man with several children, had drawn his 
savings from the Yokohama Specie Bank at Honolulu and lost it all gambling. When 
his wife remonstrated with him, he threatened to kill the whole family, but the 
wife escaped and, with the small children, went to a friend's house. Tanabe was 
found hanging in the edge of the forest the next morning by one Wada, a fellow 
employee.
