BALTIMORE, Nd, March Is.
The trial of Capt. C. /. Beachamp of the
oyster boat j. E. Beachamp, for cruelty to
sailors under his command which began in
the United States district court today,
brought out an astonishing statement from
one witness, which, if true, would indicate
that the numerous dead bodies found floating
about the bay and tributaries at times, a,e
not alsass the result of accidental deaths.
john kavalek, a sailor on Beachamp's
boat, stated that the captain offered to in
crease his paw if he would throw two worth
less hands overheard. kayalek told how the
captain beat John Steiner with stick Of
wood aithout any provocation and forced
him to work when his foot was so sore that
he could not put / on the ground.
Bechamp. according to his testimony,
seemed to claim the privilege OF beating any
one of bis employees. ksvalek said the fare
consisted mainly OF half spoiled beans, and
sometimes cabbage, meat, white potatoes
and corn bread.
