BONES OF
PIRATE
FOUND

New York April 1.-THE bones Of Capt.
Hicks, a notorious pirate. are believed To
have been unearthed on Bedloes island.
While digging for a foundation for sew
eral new buildings. a laborer threw up
in a shovelful of earth a brittle object
that resembled a human thigh bone. An
almost perfect skeleton finally was col
lected.
From the position Of tho skeleton 1T
could be seen that the arms and legs
were pinned close together at the time
OF burial. which led TO the suggestion
that the skeleton OF the pirate captain
had been unearthed. When one OF the
laborers turned UP a semi -petrihed sec
ton OF wooden gibbet IL became al
most certain that the bones were those
of the pirate.
Capt. Hicks with his fleet cruised about
the Carolina -eeaEt-Eentur1ng sometimes
as far north "a the end OF Long Island.
preying on New York shippers. He was
finally captured. brought TO New York,
convicted and sentenced to be hanged on
Bedloes island. The execution was pub
lie and the island was crowded at the
time.
