opens by regretting that Bartelot's
brother forced the disclosure OF pain
full story. Bonny says Stanley only
heard of the poisoning suspicious from
him on the Goth of October.
Bonny says Bartelot and jamie
son, after questioning the Arabs
belonging to Stanley's previous ex-
peditition, as to the fate of Peacock
and others, expressed the opinion that
Stanley would poison anybody. He ad-
mitted that rumors to that effect were
current in Europe, but nothing was
ever proved against Stanley.
Bonny confirms the report that Barte-
lot asked him for tasteless poison with
which to remove Tippoo's nephew, Selim,
with whom he had had a quarrel.
Bonny hid all the provisions. Bartelot
did not make further attempts to poison
Selim
Bonny confirms the statement that
Bartelot deliberately hit woman. For
this Bartelot would have been lynched If
Bonny had not rescued him.
Bonny has not the slightest doubt
that the boy Soudi died from the effects
of kick given him by Bartelot.
A Boy Lashed to Death.
He confirms the statement that the
mission boy, John Henry, who acted as
interpreter, died from the effects of 300
lashes- He did not desert, as
stated, but was left on the road.
The boy was afraid to come
back because he had sold Bartelot's re-
volver to procure food. The major re-
captured the boy and had him publicly
sentenced to be shot, not intending to
carry out the sentence. The whole
camp threatened todesert if the sentence
was carried out. Bartelot then ex-
claimed: "By Cd, will give him 300
lashesl"
Henry became insensible after receiv-
ing thirty lashes. The scene was the
most horrible he (Bonny) 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.
Bonny tells of the unprovoked stab
bing OF Chief Ungunga by Major
Bartelot, with a penknife. He declares
that the best of feeling prevailed in the
village till the major arrived, when he
Immediately caused trouble by extrava-
CANT demands and threats.
Bonny confirms several other charges,
and tells about the killing OF Zanzibari
by Bartelot, who, after beating the man
frightfully with staff, smashed his
skull with it. Bartelot, he says, pro-
jected an expedition of his own to reach
Cassati ana not go to Unyoro.
Bartelots Last Crime.
Bonnv confirms Stanley's account of
the murder of Bartelot, except that Bar
telot had hot cypress staff, but a re-
volver in his hand, and punched and
kicked the woman. Bonny justifies the
soldier, Burgan Mohommed, but says
Stanley is entirely correct in stating that
b Bartelpt !, projected an expedition n
was planned to reach Casati and
that he would enlist the assistance of
the Arabs to frustrate this plan, and
therefore it was dropped. He never
thought Stanley was dead.
With regard to Stanley's charge
against him of lack OF initiative, Bonny
says he is glad Bartelot's blood is not
on his head, as it would have been
had he violently resisted and tried to
stop Bartelot's going. Had he done so,
the whole camp so execrated the mai
that in the moment of the raising of
Bonny's hand, Bartelot would have been
torn limb from limb.
Bonny admits that combined action
might have succeeded, but the relations
OF the officers were too strained, and
q single written protest would have
made the protester a marked man, and
it was no slight matter to incur Barte-
lots dislike.
Jamieson's Sketch Book.
Bonny declares that he has no doubt
of the correctness of the Jameson story,
and Jameson showed him the cannibal-
istic scene sketch book 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 the girl, the distribution of
the flesh, natives scrambling for pieces,
and cooking and feasting.
Bonny declares that he told Bartelots
brother of the whole proceedings, and
that had he published his complete
diary, 1T would have thrown much light
OH the affair.
Bartelot Was Insane.
He says, in conclusion, he can only
believe that Bartelot was insane. He
wrote to this effect in 1888 to Sir Walter
Bartelot, relating his reasons for this
belief, and he thought it pity the dead
mans relatives failed to take this char
liable view
A Communication From Stanley.
A communication from Stanley ap-
pears in this mornings Times, in which
he gives the names of persons who in
formed him of the Jameson incident.
He says Jameson said if such charge
were brought against him, he would
denyit. He also says clergyman in Lon
don had seen a negro's head and
neck which Jameson had sent home
to be stuffed. Stanley adds he
could not have believed the story him
self had NOT Tominaon opnoo rod n, o1orv
