MUTINIES ON THE HIGH SEAS
One Results in the Murder of

A CRUEL, COLD FLOODED CRIME
The Mutineers Arrested and
Placed in Irons,
Two bloody Stories of Mutiny aud Mur-
der on Shipboard--A Timely Discovery

Resulted in II Brutal Murdcr--Ihe Con-
spirators in the Hands of the Law.

SAN Francisco, CAL, March 1.-Two
bloody stories of mutiny and murder ON
the high seas were brought here yesterday
by the steamer Australia. One mutiny
occurred on the whaling bark William
Boies resulting in the dangerous wound
ing Of the fourth mate, Joe Baptisy, by
sailor named Carl Hendrick. Six of the
crew came up on the steamer, while IL are
in irons at Honolulu.
The other mutiny occurred on the
American bark Hesper, which resulted in
the death of the second mate, NJ. FitZ-
gerald. The Hesper reached Honolulu,
February I'D The captain brought in
formation of plot TO kill him and four
others, and their lives were only saved by
the accidental discovery of the first inur
derons move on the part Of the mutinous
crew.
The plot was Matched by Thomas
Leclair, a sailor who shipped as native
of Norway, but afterwards said he was
born in New York. Leclar's partners in
crime were Sharf Hanson, Thomas Green
and Edward Larson. They picked out a
dark night and about 1880 O'clock Lcclair
murdered the second mate by attacking
| him with a Ratchet. The murderer lay in
wait amidships and when his yictm came
along he struck him u blow On the back Of
| the head with the sharp edge of the
| hatchet and almost instantly killed him.
Shart and Hanson wanted TO throw the
| body overheard and then remove all traces
of the crime by washing up the blood
stains. Lecair would not consent to this,
and Immediately proposed that they go
after the captain and the marked men and
murder them also. His companions weak.
ened and would not give their consent, and
l.eclair left and went aft. The other two
men then picked up the body of the muir,
dered man and threw it overheard.
