Tampa Times: Deputy Sheriff Mooney,
who was sent to Tarpon Springs Wednes-
day to investigate the terrible affair
which occurred there Tuesday night-the
assassination OF Henry steen-yesterday
morning arrested Tony and Ebert White
bursts, sons of Hon w. H. Whithurst,
and brothers of the marshal Of
Tarpon Springs who was murdered July
4th The boys are bolh minors. They
were taken before Victor Castaing, the
justice Of the peace for the TaTpon dis
trict yesterday. and had their preliminary
examination. The only evidence brought
out against them on which a shadow of
suspicion could be founded was the state
ment Of Bud SteyenSOn's mother that she
recognized each of them by the shape Of
the back of their heads. Deputy sheriff
Mooney brought the boys to
Tampa to-day and Justice Cas-
taing came with them, bringing TIE tes-
timony taken at the preliminary exami-
nation. Not being familiar with the law
governing the matter it was Mr. Cas-
taing's intention to have another exami-
nation before county Judge Harrison, but
the fact of the justice already having
held an examination debarred the county
judge from taking any action on the mat
ter. However, he consulted with MIR.
Castaing as to his finding, and it was de-
cided to admit the boys to bail in the sum
of 1000 each. This was soon provided
and they were released. An affidavit was
also made against Tillard Whidden by a
woman who claimed that she recognized

He came in small sailboat about Az
feet long, called the Flying Dutchman,
and stated that he intended to make the
trip to the Congo river on the west coast
of Africa in the frail craft Thursday

He said that he had started on
his long journey, out would stop for a
while at Palmetto Beach Those who
saw the boat just before Johnson sailed,
say that no preparation in the way of
provisions, etc, had been made by him
for voyage of any length and they are
at a loss to understand how he could even
dream of venturing on the ocean. Late
Thursday evening Johnson's boat was
found adrift in the middle of the bay
with all sails set, by fisherman. No one
was III the boat and the fisherman lowed
1t in to Sulliyan's wharf. Yesterday the
boat was placed in charge of Capt. S. A
Marley, of the fishing smack Nyanza, ly-
ing at the Pensacola Fish Companys

boat as the Flying Dutchman, in which
johnson sailed away. The boat had not

lost in the bay there can be no doubt
