States supreme court to-day affirmed The
Judgment OF the lower court and denied a
writ of habeas corpus TO John Anderson,
convicted and sentenced to be hanged after
u trial in Norfolk. Va. for the murder OF
the mate of the Olive Pecker. Chief Jus
tice Fuller, in announcing the decision, held
that Anderson had not been denied con-
stitutional right in not having counsel
of his own choice at the trial.
The Anderson case has attracted wide
spread attention, being a sea tragedy of
singular romance and atrocity.
The schooner Olive Pecker sailed from
Boston, laden with lumber. for a point on
the river Platte. Brazil. When 15o miles
off the coast of Brazil. Anderson. a Swede,
had an alteration with the captain When
the latter retired TO the cabin Anderson
followed and shot the captain dead Then
he armed himself heavily and went on
terrorized all on board. The mate, who
was aloft, was called down and. while
pleading for his life was shot four times
Then the crew was ordered to thow the
that he was not dead. We're assured that
he was dead enough This done. the
crew was marched below at the point Of
a pistol and ordered to throw the captain

oil be thrown over the lumber. after which
the oil soaked ship was set afre and the
terrlhed crew took to the boats. Ander-
son was apprehended at Bahia. Brazil.
ard sent north on the United States gum
Loaf Lancaster.
He was tried and convicted in the United
states court at Norfolk. Va, and stub

court. the conviction being confirmed The

in announcing the courts opinion. said the
records of the case showed that no funda-
mental right had been denied Anderson,
but that he had been represented from first
to last by able counsel.
The time when counsel was not present
was at preliminary hearing of Anderson,
but this was not used in the subsequent
trial. The decision of the lower court was
affirmed. The effect of this will be 10

ably the reason that prompted Callahan to
take his life. Webster went to breakfast
this morning, and when he returned he
found Callahan lying on the bed with !.
gaping wound in his head. and a revolver
in each hand. Only one chamber of one
revolver had been fired.
