BALTIMORE, Sept. 10. Frederick L.
Clayton, of the ship brokerage firm Of F.
L. clayton l. Co., Alfred Brosherton and
George w. Brown were arrested and
charged with having conspired to defrsud
some insurance companies. Clayton owned
the brig o. T. Stillman. Of which Brother
ton wa Captain and first mate. The brig
sailed from Charleston, s. c., September
2, 1884, with a cargo of slaves for the
West Indies. On September "a she was
abandoned at sea, and her crew were
picked up three days later by q passing
steamer. In the early part Of April, 1885,
the brig was picked up and towed into
Bermuda. Her cargo was insured for
SIC, 900. ALI of this amount was paid to
Clayton on tbs statement OF Captain
Brotherton that he was compelled to
abandon her because Of heavy weather and
the unseaworthiness Of the vessel. When
the Stillman arrived at Bermuda she was
examined by agents OF the underwriters,
who found the vessel in an excellent con-
| dition, but with 9 number Of holes
| below the water-line, which had evil
| IDENTIFY been bored from the inside.
| The underwriters at once put the matter
| in the hands of detectives, and they
| pushed it with all the;. energy. Clayton
was released on $40, 900 bail, but for the
| others bail was refused. A singular coin
| cidence is the fact that only this morning
information was received here that the
schooner T. E. Mcdonald, OF which Broth
| erton took command after the Stillmsn
was wrecked, had been cast way off
Turks Island, from where she was bound
to Baltimore, and that the Mcdonald
was also owned by Clayton. The offense
with which Brotherton is charged is pun
ishable with death. Clayton has always
stood high in the community.
