THE SPARKS CRUELTY CASE.

Captain Sparks was on the stand Friday
at San Francisco in his own defense. He
denied in toto and in detail all knowledge
of the cruelty charged. He admitted
striking one man, not severely, and of
knowing after the act that Adung had
been kicked in the eye, but believed it to
have been an accident occurring when the
mate was furnishing Adlung, He denied
refusing Adlung medicines, and showed
entries in his log.book of where he
had prescribed for him. His crew was
not well composed and only half were able
seamen, though all had shipped as such.
He could not take men off duty as it
would leave him short-handed. The men
stayed by the ship long after she arrived
at Wilmington, and they made no COM
plant. The first thing he had heard of
Rssmussen's defective hearing was in
Court. He was the pet of the ship and
smart and capable boy, and, said the Cap
tain, 81 don't see how anybody could
have the heart to harm him." As to
slapping him on the injured ear, the Cap
tain replied that he took him by the collar
away from the wheel, as he was steering
wildly, and the ship came nearly aback.
The Captain had never heard cries of pain
or, at least, he modified this statement in
his direct and cross. examination, saying he
could not distinguish their character, and
his attention was never aroused by them.
Judge Hoffman-You had no reason to
suspect any i'll. treatment?
Witness-No; 1 had not.
Judge Hoffman-You mean to say that
all these stories are new revelations to
you?
Witness-I do, sir l never dreamed of
any such thing.
Judge Hofman-Are you aware that
punishment on shipboard is solely con6ded
to the Captain
Witness-I so understand but l sup
pose the mates can make the men do their
duty.
Hereupon the Captain acknowledged he
had seen 10 Brown struck by the mate who
came along while between the Rio de la
Platte and the Horn, and told the watch to
hanl away at the main brace, at the same
time digging the men in the sides. Again
he reprimanded the mate and threatened
to put him in irons.
The Captain denied that he had ever lie.
fused food to the men while at Whining
ton, nor had he ever ordered such a re-
fusal the relations between him and mate
Curtis were not very pleasant, for be was
a man he did not like of his crew of
eighteen nine or ten only were able to do
seaman's duty; Watts was the only man
VINO understood navigation there was no
one who could be made second mate, aud
third mate Driscoll had lost his voice. On
cross.examination the Captain maintained
stoutly that during the whole voyage be
had never struck any seaman, but had
given second mate Curtis cuff for being in
the carpenters room smoking when he
should have been on duty McCue and
Blbyface" were the only two men he
had ever seen with bruised faces, and while
he had never told the men to report to him
if they were ever struck, they could have
done so of their own accord.
