/ Norfolk, Va, Dec. 1.-THE trial OF
John Anderson, the cook of the
schooner Olive Pecker, for the muir
der of Mate William Wallace Saunders
on the high seas in August last, was
begun in the federal court Monday
Anderson is also under Indictment for
the murder of Captain Whitman, and
the burning of the schooner, but the
/ pl csecution has elected TO bring the
first trial for murder of the mate.
Attorney Mcintosh for the accused in
outlining the defense stated that he
would show that Anderson had been
subjected to unheard-of cruelties and
that the murders We're committed in
self defense. Martin Barstad, a Nor
egian member of the schooner, was
called to the stand as the first eye
witness of the terrible tragedy which
will go down as one of the most dra-
matte and remarkable of modern
times. Barstad testified that he was
at the wheel during the whole affair,
He saw Anderson throw water on the
ca plain uOg On the lnol mus vi AUS
ust g. the day of the crime, and then
heard the captain curse Anderson
after which followed a noise as Of
some one falling. He supposed that
the captain had struck Anderson who
came up and asked the mate to pro-
tect him. The mate said: GO to
HI. You've got to die, anyway. >
ST ortly after this Anderson came out
Of the captains cabin and called the
mate down out of the rigging and shot
him four times. He summoned all
hands and made them throw the body
oy erboard. Then he made them go
down into the cabin and get the body
of the captain and throw that over
beard, after which he took the crew
down into the captains cabin and
gave each member whiskey The
story of the burning of the vessel I'M
der Anderson's orders and the voyage
to land in small boats varied little
from the published accounts. John
Lind a sailor on the schooner Olive
Packer. told essentially the same
story as Barstad, except that he did
not see Anderson shoot the mate,
