NEW YORK, May LIN the McCalla

testified that he never heard the articles

in Walkers face and struck him
with his sword while the man was
gagged and kneeling with hands tied be-
hind his back. Neither the officers of
the ship nor the marine guard were
called out that night. This is consid-
cred strong point against McCalla, as
1t shows he did not fear . mutiny.)
