William Henry Daniels
edit- ... that Judge William Henry Daniels committed suicide in 1897, three years after being dismissed for not taking an oath of allegiance to the Provisional Government of Hawaii?
Source: "Judge Daniels, despite his popularity within the community and petitions supporting him, would be dismissed from the bench in early 1894...Judge Daniels would pay dearly for his resistance. He was arrested in the roundup of Royalists after the January 1895 Wilcox Rebellion. After being released from prison he searched for work, eventually settling with his wife and ten children in Huelo, Maui. A 1897 headline reported the suicide of this once prominent Hawaiian Kingdom citizen." (Williams 2013, p. 160)
