ADMITS CRIME.
Murderer COnfeSSeS His
Foul Deed.
Facts as to the Mutiny on the
Olive PeCker.
Steward Was the Assassin, and
Claims He Was Justified.

Boston, Aug. 90. The Globe this morn
ing has tho following special from Bohia
Brazil:
The facts in connection with the mutiny
and murder on the American schooner
Olive Pecker as elected by preliminary
examination conducted by u. 5. Consul
Mcdaniel, ara rs follows:
The ring leader of the mutiny was John
Andersen, "a Swede, Ibuti naturalized
American: citizen. tho steward of the
Olive Pecker. Andersen claims that he
killed Capt Whitman justifiably, the
harsh and oyerbearing conduct OF his
superior officer provoking him To commit
the decd. Sanders, the mate, attempted
TO save the life of the captain, and Ander-
TO kill the mate. The remainder Of tho
crew do not appear To nave made any at
tempt. or at best only feeble one, to
protect the lives of their officers.
After Capt. Whitman and Mate San
ders had been killed, Andersen appears
To have taken complete control of tho ves-
sci ana 20 have intin idated the five othar
mem bers of the crew. According to their
stories Andersen suggested the firing Of
tho yosse', evidently with tho hope that
the fire would conceal all traces Of the
crime. and that it would be believed the
vessel had foundered aud the captain aud
mate had been washed overheard. The
crew were 10 represent themselves as sur
vivors and to pretend they had escaped in
the small toats.
The vessel was accordingly fired and the
wore took To the boats about 100 miles
from the Brazilian coast They drew lots
as To the way they were TO divide them
selves up in the two toats, the five memt
bers Of the crew being anxious TO have
the authorities here believe that none Of
them was desrous TO be Andersens ship
mate. The lot fell To John Lind, s,a-
man, Swede, the four Others, William
Hosburgb, engineer, Juan Dios BARREL
GumierreZ, Andrew March and Martin
Barstad, sailors, going in the other boat
When these four men reached the
Brazilian coast they Immediately went be-
fore the authorities and united in state
ment regarding the crime. placing all the
blame on Andersen aud representing that
they had no completely in tho affair." but
il is not quite clear why they were unable
to protect the lives or their captain and
mate. Andersen and Lind attempted TO
ship on two Norwegian vessels in Port
Babih. but n description Of the men had
been given 10 the Brazilian authorities
and they we're promptly arrested.
When visited by the American consul
Andersen freely admitted having killed
TIE captain and mate but claimed that
he was justified. but it is beloved Lind
was his acComplice.
The entire crew are now prisoners in
the house of correction, and are being held
