Said TO Have Refused to Take Bail.
Capt. William Spies Of the little American
! oenterboard schooner Marshall o. Wells,
went into the Custom House yesterday
| morning and said that he had run down
two men in gasoline skiE oC Robin S
Reef while coming up the Bay, bound for
Harlem. and that one OF the men had been
drowned. He wanted to know what he
should do about it and he was told to 60 to
the harbor police at Pier A.
He told the sergeant on duty there what
had happened and was detained on a charge
Of homicide. /, was then TOO late to take
the skipper before a Magistrate, and he
was sent up TO the Church street station
and locked up.
The skipper is mar o! property aud a
member Of Tammany Hall but that did not
make him proud. He accepted his fate
with calmness and sent word to c. W. Crane
i Co., for whom he has been carrying lum-
Dor from l45th street to the army reserva-
ton al Sandy Hook.
David Cohen, representing Crane d
Co.'S lawyers, went to the station and saw
the skipper and found out from him how
he happened 10 run the little boat down.
Then Mr.. Cohen hunted up a Magistrate
to have the skipper released on bail. The
Ma gistrate is said to have declared that
he could not take bail in the case of pris-
oner charged with homicide.
The shippers wife also visited the sta
ton. She was crying and appeared to be
7 under the impressio that something
, dreadful was going to be done to her hus-
band. He treasured her and she went
away feeling better.
!, The -crlne" Of Capt. Spies might never
have been known to the police if he had
! chosen to keep it quiet. He said last night
! that, while be did not care about sleeping
in police cell he was sure that be would
get justice when his story was told to a
magistrate. He was returning from Sandy
Hook, aying light and heading toward
| Brooklyn, on the port tack, when be saw the
| two men In power launch trying to GROSS
his bow. He paid little attention to them
as they could get out Of his way better than
he could get out Of theirs; anyhow, under
the rules Of the road, he had the right Of way
I against motor boat.
; He supposed that the slih had cleared
! him, when he heard a shout in the water.
I He came around just as man scrambled
! aboard. The man said be was Thomas
/ Lindsey of Staten Island and that his COM
panion in the skiff, which had been out
getting up lobster pots, had been drowned.
! The schooner had cut the ssiff in two.
Capt. Spies lowered boat and searched
for Lindsley's shipmate, Rudolph Elder
Of Stapeton, but could not find him.
Elder could not swim. Capt. Spies then
came to anchor of Red Hook and hurried
, to the city to get locked up.
