Five Officers of a Schooner
Killed by three Negroes.
MURDERERS IN CHAINS
Vessel Put in at Southport, N. c., in
Charee of Prize CreW-Deadly
Quarrel Arose Over Break
fast Coffee.

The schooner Blanche II. King, Cap
tain J. ". Taylor, Brunswick, Ga,
September %. for Philadelphia, put IN
at Southport. n. c., wednesday after.
noon, bringing in irons three negroes,
all that remained of the crew of the
four-masted schooner Harry A. Ber-
wind, Captain Rumill, from Mobile,
September %, to Philadelphia. The
captain, mate, cook and an engineer
who did the hosting aboard having
been murdered in a nnutiny at sea and
their bodies thrown overheard.
The body of a fourth negro of the
crew was found lying On deck, where
he, too, had evidently been murdered.
Captain Taylor Of the schooner
King sighted the Berwind early We'd
nesday morning, about 80 miles OF
Cape Fear bar and was attracted to
her by the manner in which she w&s
being steered, having several times
come close to running down the King.
4 near approach to the Berwind show
ed that she had been practically aban-
doned. Captain Taylor and crew
bearded the vessel and placed the
three negroes in irons, bringing the
two vessels off the bar, when one of
them was towed in by Wilmington
tugs, which later went out after
other schooner, a gale prevailing on
the outside.
The Berwind being from a territory
against which Southport is quarant!n.
ed for yellow fever, the three negroes
in irons are held at quarantine until
arrangements can be made for Their
detention by the federal authorities.
It develops from the stories of the
negroes brought in irons by the King
that the mutiny arose as the result OF
a quarrel aboard ship early Tuesday
morning, about some coffee that was
being brewed for breakfast. The
King was signaled by the Berwind 80
miles east Of Frying Pan lightship,
and in response to signal Captain
Taylor sent his mate, the engineer
and others to board the Berwind. The
decks of the schooner were crimson
with blood, giving evidence of a fierce
encounter. The berth of the mate was
spotted with blood, indicating that
he was butchered in bed.
After the boarding party from the
King handcuffed the mutineers on the
ship one of the negroes complained
that the irons were too tight and
hurt him. Whsn one of the boarding
crew loosened the bracelet on the ne
gro's arm, the captive whipped out
q pistol and shot one of his crew. the
presumption being that the man killed
had signaled the King against the
wishes of the three others.
The total list of killed is four
whites and one negro, the names OF
none of whom can be learned.
The King left prize crew aboard
the Berwind, which is still Off the
bar, and United States Commissioner
P. Collier and Deputy Marshal c. O..
Cox will take charge Of the captives.

RAWLINGS CONFESSES.
Saws He Hired Alf Moore 20 Kill the
Carriers and Attempts to Clear
sans of All Blame.

A considerable sensation was crea7.
ed in Val:!osta, Georgia. Monday,
by the confession of J. G. Raw
inys. in which ne Acknowledged Iha;
he hired Ike condemned accompiice,
ALI Moore, to Kill W. l.. Carter.
Rawlings attempts to clear his sons
of completely in the assassination OF
the Carter children last June, AMI
while he :Imits hiring Alf Moore to
put old nan Carter out of the way,
he still contends that neither one OF
his scns vas present Or had anything
TO do with the tragedy.
II has been rumored fer several
days that the elder Rawlings contem'
plated confessing his Part IN the crime,
ana once or twice in conversation with
visitors 10 the Jail he was trapped
into alleged incriminating admissions.
His action Monday, however, was en-.
tirely voluntary, unless it be that he
was persuaded to the course by his
wife, who, it has been freely stated,
came TO ser: him for the purpose OF
trying to set him to shoulder the re-
sponsibility for the assassinations and
try TO save his sons from the gallows.
Rawlings sent word to Sheriff Pass.
more that DE wanted to make a state
ment. and asked the officer to come
I'D TO the :ail and bring two or three
gentlemen with him. The sheriff did
so. and the confession was made in the
presence Of that officer, Orri1 Regis
ter, Tube Swindle and a newspaper
reporter. The condemned man talked
for more han half an hour, and start
ed cut with a history Of his trouble
with Carter.
He said that the deal with ALT
Moore to kill Carter was made
through Joe Bently, a negro, who was
tried for completely in the affair, but
who came clear. He stated that Moore
was given positive instructions not to
harm the children Of the Carter home;
the. murder was not a part of the
program, and came about, SO Rawlings
says Alf Moore told Bentley, because
the little Carter boy ran into the yard
with his rifle, Moore claiming that he
ebot him in self defense
Rawlings stated that the negro,
Moore, went to Carter's home on the
afternoon before the children were
assassinatel that night, with the in
tention of killing him, but Carter re-
fused TO come out of the house when
Moore hailed at the gate. Moore went
to the little house in the field, as
stated in the recent trial, where he
stayed until night, and where Rawlings
carried him dinner and supper.
4 dramatic scene was presented IN
the jail as the elder Rawlings pro-
ceeded with his story. He Wept bit
terIv as ne detailed the story of the
crime.
Now, gentlemen" said Rawlings,
IF | have not told you the truth
nope l may never ave to get out Of
this chair
"Who helped Moore to do the kill
ing?" he vas asked.
Nobody: ne was by himself, and
he never thought of bringing my boys
into it until after they were arrest
ed"
Rawlings is an adroit talker and
his statement was delivered win
much feeling. 1t left many things CON
nected with the crime unexplained.
Curing the recital the older son, Mil
ton. who was in the adjoining CELL
never uttered word.

By Decision of High Court in
Noted Chain-Gang Case.
NO POINT is SUSTAINED
Had Court Sustained Jurist Every
Chain Gang Prisoner in State OF
Georgia Could Have Secured
Liberty.

A Washington dispatch says: The
well known Wimbish-Jamison case,
from Macon, Ga, was decided in the
supreme court Monday. The action Is
Judge Emory Speer OF the southern
federal district of Georgia, was re-
yersed AMI the case remanded. The
effect OF his is 10 uphold the record
er's court G. Macon.
E. A. WimD.sn IS superintendent
Of the Bib5 county chaingang.
This is the case IN wnlcn United
States Judge Speer interfered VITA
the sentence OF prisoner, Jamlson,
a colored man, by a recorders court
of Macon, 10 WORK on the streets.
The opinion of thc court, rendered
one week from the day OF argument,
was the occasion of some surprise. 1t
was contained in a few words only,
and contrary to the usual custom, was
not even reduced 10 writing.
Henry .Jamison was arrested Oh
March IS, -9C4, on a charge OF being
drunk and disorderly, and being tried
before the recorder of the city OF Ma
con, plead guilty and On two counts
was sentenced 10 pay a fine Of $50
or be committed to the county chain
gang for 10 days. Four days later
the prisoner, instead of taking advan-
tage of the usual remedies under the
state laws, presented petition for
writ of haheas corpus cum causa to
Judge Speer of the federal court, al
leging that his arrest and punishment
were illegal. because they were with
out due process OF law" and because
ne was subject Ito Infamous punish
ment in violation Of the
constitution of the United States"
The case was finally argued in June,
1904, and Judge Speer, after having 1t
under advisement for a week, ordered
the discharge Of Jamiscn, holding,
among other things, that "Jamison was
detained of his liberty and subjected
to Infamous punishment without due
process of law"
Besides" the Judge ruled, "the SEN
tence against him is void, void for
want of due process of law and void
because one man cannot adjudge in
fanny
The coltentions Of Wimbish, the
respondent in the lower court, were
in part as follows.
That Jamison should be remanded
to mis- custody Is superintendent Of
the chaingang, and should not be dis
charged upon a writ of habeas cor
pus, for the reason that he held him
I under a sentence from a police court
of summary powers, with jurisdiction
over the Derson and the offenss, as
provided by the law of the state.
THAT the case did not imperatively
demand Jamison's release by writ OF
habeas corpus"
The case involving the determina-
ton Of tight claimed under the con.
stitution Of the United States, it was
, appealed TO the federal supreme
court, with the result already stated.
The decision quashes the writ of hab-
cas- corpus and dismisses the petition.
Had Judge Speer been upheld, a fed
eral district judge would have been
given the lower to release every per
son confined at hard labor under the
processes of state courts, and the rule
that punishment by hard labor is in
famous punishment, contrary to the
fifth amendment to the constitution,
would have been established.
