protests of Marshal McMullen, placed
him on board the police tug Stockley
and steamed away for Philadelphia
Felix Haumann and John Wilson, two
sailors who witnessed the tragedy, were
also taken as witnesses.
Immediately after their arrival in
Philadelphia, the prisoner was ar
raigned before U S. Commissioner Ed

elected: John Wilson, seaman on
the vessel, testified that she sailed yes
terday for Yokohama. When witness
came on deck he heard Harrington and

for the boat and was first to get in, but
az the vessel was going, he fell over
board and the boat was capsized !;
another boat was launched, but a tug
picked Harrington up; the mate could
not be seen and no cries from him were
