De WINTER is GUILTY,
The Verdict of the Jury Accom-.
panied by a Recommends
ton for Mercy.
Convicted of Cruel and Brutal Treat.
ment to Sailor on the High
Seas.

Captain John de Winter, the master sea
man, whose trial for cruel and brutal treat
ment of a subordinate while on the Nigh
seas, has been in progress in the Urfited
States District Court for several days, was
yesterday foundAguilty by the jury in the
case.
The defendant will be sentenced on
Tuesday. He is subject to fine of $1,000,
or imprisonment for five years. He was
recommended to the mercy of the court,
however, and there is q probability that
Judge Morrow may comply with the
wishes of the jury and give the offender
light sentence.
Seamen generally have taken great in
terest in the examination of Captain de
Winter. and his commitment to prison for
a long period would greatly delight them.
He has been the first master of ship TO
be indicted at this port for i'll treating
sailors under his charge for some time,
and the nature of the offense charged has
aroused public comment. The United
States Grand Jury returned two indict-
ments against the accused captain.
Gus Waywod was the com planning wit
ness. He charged Captain de Winter with
assaulting him with his fist and also with
o revolver on the high seas on October Is
last. His statement was corroborated by
other seamen who were on board the yes
sci at the time.
