B )sTON, MASS, August Is.
A special from Portsmouth, N. H,
says: Colonel Kent obtained an inter
view with Lieutenant Greely, who ad-
mits that Henry had military execu-
tion on June 6, As early as March it
was suspected that Henry was stealing
the limited food which was apportioned
out to the survivors, and this fact being
finally and positively ascertained Lieuten-
ant Greely had thereafter hard work
to protect the mans life. 1t be-
came necessary in order to keep up
discipline to inform Henry that he would
be shot if the practice continued, and
that u similar fate would be meted out to
any other member of the party detected
in a like crime. If Henry had been per-
mitted to continue his stealiags un-
molested the balance of the party would
have surely starved to death, aud
Henry alone survived. After
and in spite of these warnings, Henry
was again detected in steaing provis-
ions, the food taken being two pould of
bacon, and the eating OF so much made
him sick. A search was then instituted
when it was found that Henry had among
other articles stolen and secreted Il pair
or sealskin boots which bad belonged to
hunter of the party. Lieutenant Greedy
was therefore, forced in order 10 main
tain military, discipline and protect The
lives of his other comrades, to issue a
written order that Henry be
shot, which order was carried into
effect June 9th. As to the alleged can
nibalism Lieutenant Greedy says if there
was anything of the kind it must have
been an individual act and not gen
eral. Nothing of the kind came under
his observation. Sergeant BraiuerI, who
is in the hospital at the Navy Yard,
confirms Greely's statement. More than
a week ago Lieutenant Greely forwarded
to the Secretary of War detailed report
of the ii .nry execution. Upon proper
REPRESENTATIONS to Secretary Chandler a
court of inquiry will undoubtedly be or
| dered.
