THE MATE OF THE CASHMERE.

The examination in the case OF the chief mate of
tho Cashmere. Mortimer M. Van Kleeck. the
charges made by Alexander Jansen. was concluded
before United States Commissioners Allen. of Brook
lyn. yesterday. Counsellor Herbert Hull summed
up for the defence and conended that the charge Of
assault was the result Of conspiracy among the
against his client. The crew Was composed OF
rough class Of seafaring representing various
nationalities. They had evinced spirit OF insub-
ordination akin to mutiny during the voyage, and
II was the duty OF tho defendant. as tho
rst officer OF the ship, 10 maintain order and disci
plinc. Counsel argued that Jansen. after striking
his superior. put his hand behind him to draw his
sheath knife. 1t was not until then that the mate,
fearing bodily harm, drew his revolver and dis
charged one shot. The accused did not intend to
wound Jansen.
Assistant District Attorney Angel replied. He
contended that there was nothing in the evidence
for the defence TO show for tho assault

Java, four months after the assault, to the effect
that they had received nothing but good treatment
