The morning call., 1890-11-10

LONDONs NOf D. - HC 1iiHOS bhIo
morning publishes three-column state
ment from Bouney, who opens by re-
GREETING that Barttelot's brother forced
the disclosure OF a painful story Bonny
says Stanley only heard Of the poisoning
suspicious from him on the Goth of October.
Bonney says Barttelot and Jameson, after
questioning the Arabs belonging to Stan
ley's previous expedition as to the fate of
PocOck and others, expressed the opinion
that Stanley would poison anybody. He ad-
mitted that rumo to that effect were cur
rent in Europe, but nothing was ever proved
against Stanley.
WANTED POISON.
Bonney confirms the report that Barttelot
asked him for tasteless poison with which
to remove Tfppoo. nephew of Seim, with
whom he had had quarrel. Bon
ney hid all the poison and Barttelot
did not make any further attempts to
poison Tippco. Bonney confirmed the state
meut that Barttelot deliberately bit a
woman. For this BarttelOt would have been
lyncned if Bonuey had not rescued him.
Bonney has not the slightest doubt that the
boy Soudi died from the effects of kick
given him by Bartteot.
NHUMAN TREATMENT OF A BOY.
He confirms the statement that the mission
boy, john Henry, who acted as interpreter,
died from the effect of 800 lashes. He did
not desert, as stated, but was left on the
road. The boy was afraid to come back be-
cause he had sold Barttelot's revolver
TO procure food. The Major recaptured
the boy, and had him publicly sentenced to
no : hpt N n "a SD1
tence. The whole camp threatened to Ge-
sert if the sentence was cIrried out. Bart
telOt then exclaimed: by -, | VIII
give him 800 lashes" Henry became in
sensible after receiving thirty lashes. The
scene was the most horrible he (Bonney) ever
saw. Modification set in and the flesh of
the victim fell in pieces to the ground. His
body swelled TO twice its ordinary size and
he died in twenty-four hours.
MURDER OF A CHIEF.
Bonney tells of the unprovoked stabbing of
the chief Ungunga by BarttelOt with a pen
knife He declares that the best of feeling
prevailed in the village till the Major ar
rived, when he Immediately caused trouble
byeXtravaGant demands and threats Bonney
confirms several other statements, and tells
about the killing of Nanzibari by Barttelot,
who, after beating the man fTightlully with
a staff, SMASHED his skull with it.
THE MURDER OF BARrTELoT.
Bonney confirms Stanley's account of the
murder of Barttelot, except that Barttelot
had not cypress staff but re-
yOlyer in his hand, aud punched
and kicked TIE woman. B0nney jastifes
the sentence of death Of the Saudanese
soldier BuTgan Mohammed but says Stanley
is entirely correct in stating that barttelot
projected an expedition OF his own, by which
it was planned to reach Casati and not to 90
to Unyoro. Bonney threatened that he
would enlist the assistance of the Arabs to
fruGfTntp this nlaD and therefore IL
dropped.
FEELING AGAINST BARTTELoT.
He never thought Stanley was dead.
With regard to Stanley's charge against him
of a lack of interference, Bonney says he is
glad BarttelOt's blood is not on his head. as
and tried TO stop BarttelOts dUings.
Had he done this - the whole
camp so execraed the Major - in a
moment, on the raising of Bonney's hand,
Baritelot would have been torn limb from
limb. Bonney admits that combined action
might have succeeded. but the rela ions of
the officers were too strained, and single
written protest would have made the protester
marked man, and it was no slight matter
to incur Bar telot's dislike. Bonney declares
that he has no doubt of the correctness OF
-Jameson's story. Jameson showed him
cannibalistic scene sketch and described
it in detail. Six sketches are now in the
possession Of Jamieson's widow. They
represent the tying up, killing and carving
of "A girl, the distribution of flesh 10 the
natives scrambling for pieces, and cooking
and feastng Bonney declares he told
BarttelOps brother the whole proceedings,
and that had he published a complete diary
they would have thrown much light on the
affair. He says:
In conclusion, he can only believe that
BarttelOt was insane Heswrote TO this ef-
feet in 1886 to Sir Walter Barttelot, relating
his reasons for this belief, and he thought it
pity that the dead mans relatives failed to
take this charitable view.
THE JAMESON INCIDENT.
A communication appears in this morn
ings Times, in which he gives the names of
persons who informed him of the Jameson
incident. He says Jameson said if such
charge were brought against him
he would deny it. He also says clergy
man In London had seen a negro's head
and neck which Jameson had sent home to
be stuffed. Stanley adds that he could
not have believed the story himself
had not Jameson appeared to glory
in the fact that he was the only white man
who had seen cannabilism. The Times calls
upon the Barttelots and Mrs. Jameson to
publish everything in their possession in
order that the whole dreadful business may
be cleared up.
THE ENIN RELIEF COMMITTEE.
The Emin Relief Committee publishes de-
nial of the statements that they desired to
acquire Emin's ivory rather than to rescue
Emln's life. The committee say they only
stipulated if the ivory was found 1t should
be used 10 defray their expenses, but that
none was received The expedition cost
them el4,350. Stanley gave his services
gratuitously, besides throwing up en-
gagements Of the value OF over 10000,
and further, generously placing at the dis
posal of the committee all sums which the
press might pay for his letters on the expe-
ditiOn, which sums amounted to e2000.
Stanley was personally responsible for the
selection of members of his staff and the
agreements made with them.
THE REAR GUARD DISASTER.
The Times yesterday printed an In
terview with Herbert Ward, who de-
clares he never saw Bartteot commit any
acts rejecting on his honor or that Stanl4y
himself had not committed. He was shocked
that such personalities had been published
and sorry to think that Stanley in defend
lug himself, should seek to enbroil him (Ward)
In a quarrel lacking every sentiment of chiv-
airy Tor the dead and consideration for the
living. Speaking from his own knowledge. he
declared that Barttelot never used excessive
cruelty. He says Stanley, i'll his opinion,
fails to attribute blame for the disaster to
the rear guard where it should be laid,
namely, upon Jansen, Administrator Of the
Congo State, who neglected to send steamer
up to the camp
sTASLEY's STATEMENTS.
BosTog, Nov. 9.-Lieutenant Troup again
talked yesterday about Stanley's latest state
ments. He denies that there was, while he
was in the Yambuya camp, any log-book OF
other record of 'cruelties" signed by him.
Stanley's insinuation that lie Group was
Influenced by Barttelot's family not to dis
close affairs at Yambuya is utterly false.
Stanley has failed to make any new charges
and has not brought any proof that he

tons
