Bran explained the murder by saying
that Second Mate Bambsrg had been In
timate with Mrs Nash and that this fact
led Captain Nash to ATTACK the second
mate with an axe. In the struggle the
second mate got the axe and killed the
captain. Then the mate went on dsck,
where he laid down the axe and went back
received In the struggle with the captain.
Bran, after his story, suggested that
the bodies be thrown overheard, but
Spencer objected and declared they would
be carried 10 the nearest port.
The vessel was about eight hundred
miles from Boston. The men were all
searched by Bran and Spencer. Brown
was arrested by Spencer, making no re-
sistance, and Bran put him In irons.
Brown said, You will find ont all
about 1t when you get ashore"
victims were prepared for burial and the
Episcopal service was read over them by
the witness.
Brown brought the bodies on deck. and
they were placed in boat in tow OF the
vessel. Bran said, "You must not blame
the living for the dead. The dead can t
speak for themselves. Throw. the bodies
overheard and wash up the blood.
The steward objected. Bran did not
assist in caring for the bodies. Bran
said the nearest port was French Guiana,
but it was found that that was 1900 miles
away. Bermuda 400 miles away, with
the wind dead ahead, and Halifax for
which port they sailed $50 miles.
An entry in the log Of the vessel and
statement drawn up by the witness at the
request OF Bran, reciting the occurrence
of the night, were read and admitted as
testimony.

PLUOKY POLICEMAN LEE
He Stops a Run Away at tho Risk
of His Life.

H. II. Wolbers, of No. 81 Newark street,
Hoboken. and John Walters, of No. e52
the same street, Hoboken were out
carriage riding last night, when turning
into Ralisade avenue from Hutton street
on the Heights, their carriage was struck
by a trolley car of the North Hudson

hind wheels of the carriage completely
smashed.A Both young men were thrown
out but Fortunately escaped injury. The
horse becoming frightened started on a
mad pace down Palisade avenue. Patrol
man Daniel Lee, was standing on the cor
ner of Ferry street, when he saw the
runaway approaching several blocks up.
Running out into the street Lee waited
until the horse was within a few yards
from him, then he began to run with the
horse. AS the horse overlook him he
grabbed for the reins and caught one of
them near the horses head. In making
the spring for the reins, the plucky officer
Slipped and nearly fell under the animals
feet.
Lee was dragged by the maddened ami
NAL for nearly a block before he succeeded
in stopping him. A large crowd witnessed
Lees Jplucky act and loudly a%pplauded
him.. The horse was a large, frey ami
NAL and was not to be easily stopped.

WANT DRIVER LEvJNs BACK.

The transfer of Drive Andrew Levins
from No. IS engine to engine No. 8 is a
subject OF much M among the resi-
dents Of Greenville. His removal is not
only regretted by the remaining members
OF. No. 10 but by the community in gene
raj. A petition signed by many of the
most prominent residents and storekeep-
ers of the place asking for his retention
at his old post of duty, which he had
faithfully filled for 50 long a time, was
presented to the Fire Commissioners, but
received no consideration, being merely
read and tabled.
The signers are at a loss to know why
1T did not receive more attention. their
only inference being that the Commission
ers believed Levins would be more SER
viceable in the lower part of the city,
where there is more fire duty to perform.
