this morning publishes a three-column state
ment signed by Mr.. Bonny. The writer
opens by regretting that Maj. Barttelot's
brother had forced the disclosure of the
painful story. Mr.. Bonny says that Mr..
Stanley only heard Of the poisoning suspi-
cions from him on Oct 26 last. in the course
of "A conversation on Maj. Barttelot's book.
Mr.. Bonny testlfies that when
Maj. Barttelot and Mr.. Jameson, after
questioning the Arabs belonging to Mr..
Stanley's previous expedition as to the fate
Of Mr.. Pocock and Others, expressed the
opinion that Mr.. Stanley would poison any
body. He admitted that rumors to that
effect were current in Europe, but nothing
was ever proved against Mr.. Stanley
Maj. Barttelot and Mr.. Jameson agreed not
to partake of his hospitality.
BARTTELoT AS A PoIsoNER.
Mr.. Bonny confirms the report that Maj
Barttlelot asked him for a tasteleSs poison
with which to remove Tippoo Tbs nephew,
Selim, with whom he mad quarrel. Mr..
Bonny pretended to search for such
poison, but hid all the poisons He then
told Maj, Barttelot, who was

Barttelot did not make further attempts to
poison Selim.
BIT THE WOMAN IN THE CHEEK.
Mr.. Bonny confirms the statement that
Maj. Barttelot deliberately bit the woman
The major, he says. fastened his teeth in the
woman'S cheek, and not in the shoulder, as
stated. For this Mai. Barttelo5 would have
been lynched if Mr.. Bony had not rescued
him. Mr.. Bonney still bears on his forehead
and other parts of his person marks of
wounds received by him in the fight with the
natives that followed the incident.
Mr.. Bonny says it Is quite true that the
major grinned ferociously at the natives,
and that he prodded them with steel
pointed staff. He has not the slightest
doubt that the boy Soudi died from the ef-
fects of kick given him by Maj. Barttelot.
A BOY BEATEN TO DEATH.
Mr.. Bonny confirms the statement that
the mission boy, John Henry, who spoke
English, Arabic and Zanzibar languages,
and acted as interpreter, died from the
effects of 800 lashes. He did not desert, as
stated, but was left on the road After
Maj. Barttelot logged him he feared to re-
turn because Re had sold Maj.
Barttelots revolver to procure food.
The major recaptured the boy and
threatened either to shoot him or cut his
ears off. Mr.. Bonny protested, when the
major had the boy publicly sentenced to be
shot, not intending to carry out the sem
tence. The whole camp threatened To
desert If the sentence was carried out
THE BRUTAL BOAST.
Maj. Barttelot then exclaimed: "By
| God, will give him 300 lashes." -Four
| Soudanese, each one over six feet in hight
were selected to give seventy-tive lashes
each. Henry became insensible after re
ceiving 300 lashes. The scene wa,
the most horrible he (Mr. Rf5pnny
ever saw. Modification set in and the
flesh of the victim fell ia pieces to the
ground. His body swelled to twice its or
dinary size, and he died in "a hours.
