preferred with Colonel Long against
Captain Charles T. Baker of the United
States transport Sumner. The COM
plainants are John Galway, formerly
chief steward of the Sumner. and w II.
Clarke, formerly chief pantryman Of
the same vessel.
The principal cause Of complaint is
that Captain Baker caused the death of

was i'll. In consequence of this a
charge of murder is preferred against
Captain Baker.
Ryan was a discharged soldier who
