states via Australia. Deputy United
Marshal Taylor arrested Bedell and
searching him found nearly $1,000 in gold
around his waist and all kinds OF diamonds
and gold jewelry besides running his
holdings up enormously
Bedell proved a nervy prisoner and did
not finch before Taylor's cross eXamina-
ton. He admitted knowledge of the
charges the sailors made, but denied them
stating, however, his familiarity with the
laws of this country, and his utmost re-
lance in proving himself clear. He stated
that the money and jewelry were his own
property. and for the possession of them
the South African government had cOntin-
ed him and 80 others in prison. These men

a diamond mine railway and were sus-
pected of stealing. They We're arrested
lodged in Jail and efforts made to convict
them. After many days Bedell and three
others were released and given a govern
ment discharge. This discharge Beden eX-
hibited to Marshal Taylor.
Viewing all the circumstances with Be
dells statement Marshal Taylor conclud-
ed to release Bedell, and he left on the
New York steamer laughing at the dis
comfiture of his sailor accusers. Bedell
was a consul man on board the WILLY;
another consul man was e. NJ Bauman,
son of a wealthy Hebrew Chicagoan, E.
Bauman
Bauman stated at the custom house,
while being paid Off that he had been in
Capetown four years tying to get home.
Later he was assaulted on the streets by
sailors, who mistook him for Bedel and
wanted to rob him, but stated that scars
therefrom were secured in the Jameson
raid on the Transvaal Baumau seemed
chummy with Bedell, but Beden steered
clear of him as much as possible. Bau-
mans people wired him money and a
ticket to Chicago over the Southern.
Bauman had no share in Bedell's cash,
and it is suspected was shadowing him.
