story printed by the Portland Journal
Captain Pritchard entered into a dick
er with sailor boarding house runner:
to entice seven seamen from the ship

Larry sullivan is said to have beer
at the other end of the transaction,
The agents at Portland declined to
pay the money and the matter was re-
ported to the owners,
Among other pointed statements the
owners say that they are astonished
at the action of Captain Pritchard,
and the only conclusion which can be
surmised for his entering into such "a
contemplate transaction" is that he
and the crimps participated In the
plunder. They state that they wrote
Captain Pritchard letter which he
received upon his arrival at Astoria
instructing him to do his best toward
inducing the members OF the crew to
remain with the ship. They further
state that they exceedingly regret that
Captain Pritchard had sufficient
money to pay the crimps, as they
would have preferred that the latter
should have libeled the vessel. In that
event, the owners say. they would !
have fought the case through every |
,ourt to the supreme court at Washing !
ION before they would have allowed |
he captain to pay such an illegal
charge. |
The owners further deny that Cap
ain Pritchard ever wrote them sing
word regarding his crew neither has
