A MYSTERIOUS MURDER
The Captain of ii Pleasure Yacht At
tackled and Killed in His Cabin by
Parties.

Sausalito, Cal, September PA bru-
tai and mysterious murder occurred or
the handsome yacht Chispa, lying off
this place this morning at 100 o'clock.
Captain J. Moss Brooks, master of
the vessel, returned to his cabin late
last night. Peter Nels IN, a sailor, was
awaiting his arrival before going to
his bunk in the forecastle. The men
parted about 1870 o'clock a. m. Nelson
says he was awakened by the captain
calling for help and crying murder.
Nelson ran to the cabin and just as
he passed the hatchway he was con-
fronted by a man with a pistol in his
hand. Nelson backed out of the door
and jumped into the water. The man
fired several shots at Nelson, one of
which struck his in the leg. Mean
time the people on board hi yacht
Alameda hearing the noise, went out
in a boat for the Chispa. They picked
Nelson up and went on board, but the
murderers had escaped. The cabin of
the little vessel presented a horrible
sight. Blood was everywhere and ly-
ing in his bunk, dead, was Captain
Brooks. There were evidences Of a
struggle. The dead mans head had
been beaten to a jelly and it is sup
posed hat after the first cutlery his
murderers killed him. His watch had
been taken and the drawers in the
cabin had been ransacked. Boats load
ed with people put out from the shore
but no one got a glimpse of the muir
dererS.
Captain Brooks was an Engllshman,
about IS years old, and had been en-
ployed by Isadore Cutie, owner OF
the yacht, for nineteen years. 1t is
said he was unpopular with sailors
and may have been killed in revenge
mt the police are working on the
opinion that robbery was the motive.
