| LONDON, Nov. l4-The Times publishes
| the full text Of Assad Farran's affidavit
| TIE original is in Assad's handwriting.
l Assad commences by explaining that he
| was obliged in London to contradict his
account for certain reasons especially be-
| cause the committee did not desire him to
reveal anything He describes how Bartte-
lot, after Stanley left Yambnya, finding
food scarce employed armed Soudanese to
attack neighboring villages, but found
| them deserted. He then had recourse to
capturing native women and demanding
food for their ransom. Bonny did the same
thing Assad relates how Barttelot daily
ordered the men to be given from twenty
five to a hundred lashes for various Of
fenses He speaks Of numerous cases Of
the stealing Of food, the thieves being pun
ished with a hundred or more lashes each,
until their flesh was torn.
A Horrible Incident.
In one case the major ordered the pun
ishment to be stopped, but few days
later the victim, having recovered some
what, was given $50 more lashes. The
man was then compelled to walk ten
hours in the sun daily, heavily chained.
This was continued for two months, when
the victims sores became putrid and mag
goty. The major then relieved him for
week, and Dr. Bonny gave him medicine,
after which the punishment Of marching
decamped, but was recaptured after four
days through the Offering OF reward, aud
was shot, despite Jameson's protests.
Incidentally, while describing Ward and
Troup's return, with ample supplies, from
their visit TO Tippoo Tib with a message
TO hurry the porters, he says; Ward and
Troup, having everything they wanted,
seemed content with the life at Yambuya
and dsinclined to march" The Manye-
mas daily brought plenty OF varied food,
which they exchanged for cloth and mata-
kos, and the natives brought fresh fish
daily, but the men in the camp were starv-
ing and dying daily
The Jameson Horror.
In regard to the Jameson affair Assad
says that Jameson expressed to Tippoo's
interpreter curiosity to witness cannibal-
ism. Tippoo consulted with the chiefs and
told Jameson he had better purchase a
slave. Jameson asked the price, and paid
SIX handkerchiefs. A man returned few
minutes afterward with 10-year-old girl.
Tippoo and the chiefs ordered the girl to
be taken to the native huts. Jameson
himself, Selm, Masondie and Jarhari,
Jameson's servant, and many others fol-
lowed. The man who had brought the
girl said to the cannibals:
Cold BIooded Butchery.
"This is present from a white man, who
desires to see her eaten" The girl was tied
to tree, the natives sharpening their
knives the while. One Of them stabbed her
twice in the belly. She did not scream but
knew what would happen. looking to the
right and 10 the left for help. When stab
bed, she fell dead. The natives cut pieces
from her body. Some took the legs, arms,
breasts and other portions straight TO the
huts, while others took the entrails to the
river and washed them, Jameson in the
meantime making rough sketches Of the
horrible scenes. Then we all returned to
the chiefs house.
JamesOn's Brutal Conduct.
Jameson afterward went to his tent and
finished his sketches in water colors. There
were six Of them all neatly done. The first
sketch was Of the girl as she was led to the
tree The second showed her stabbed, with
the blood gushing from the wounds The
third showed her dissected.
"The fourth showed a man carrying, a
leg in one hand and knife in the other.
The fifth showed a man with a native NIX
and the head and breast of the victim.
The sixth showed q man with the entrails
Jameson showed these and many other
sketches to all the chiefs"
More Horrible Stories.
Assad then describes the officers going
TO Stanley Falls at the end of May. He
tells of Jameson's anger at the quarrel OF
Barttleot with Selim Mahomed, which de
layed the starting, and Of the anxiety Of
both to seek or discover whether Stanley
was dead or in prison, as rumored Bart
tleot said that If he could relieve Stanley
from imprisonment he would become a
full colonel when he returned to Yam
buya.
The Times also publishes a further
statement by Bonny to the effect that in
his opinion the cannibalism incident was
the cause Of the death Of both Jameson
and Bsrttelot. Bonny relates the fact of
Jameson's procuring the head of a negro
lie says: 1T was q man with whom we
were well acquainted. He had been shot
by an Arab The head was salted down
and sent to London, where it was stuffed
by Rowland, Ward g. Co. Once while,
was visiting Mrs. Jameson she showed me
this curiosity and asked me II / recognized
It, replied, Yes, have shaked his hand
