 Schooner.

Wilmington, N. C., November 6.-The trial of Robert Sawyer and Arthur Adams, charged with mutiny and murder on the schooner Harry A. Berwind, was resumed in the federal court today, both defendants going on the witness stand and detailing the crime at length and placing the killing of all five men at the door of Scott. before whom they con- fessed to having stood in mortal terror on board the ship.
 Their testimony was shaken but little on long and tedious oss-examination by the district attorney.

The presid- ing judge gave the attorneys until to- morrow to cite authorities upon the ques- tion.
