THE INDICTMENT
AGAINST WYhNE

No Indictment returned by the Fed
eral Grand Jury arouses anything like
the general interest that the indict-
ment against John wynne for the
murder of Archibald F. Mckinnon
does. Wynne was an oiler on the oil
steamer Rosecrans. On the night OF
September 20 last, he entered Mckin-
mons state room while Mckinnon was
asleep and smashed his skull with a
heavy machinists' hammer. Wynne
was at first taken into custody by the
local police, but the United States au-
thorities shortly took jurisdiction OF
the matter. and the Federal Grand
Jury has now returned an indictment
charging murder.
There are six counts IN the indict-
ment against Wynne. The first charges
that on September 20. 1907, on the high
seas. and within the jurisdiction OF this
court and within the admiralty and
maritime jurisdictions OF the United
States and out Of the jurisdiction OF
any particular state, and on board the
Rosecrans, in and upon one Archibald
F. McKinnon then and there being on
board said vessel, unlawfully, felon-
iusly, wilfully and of his malice afore-
thought, with a certain hammer upon
the head OF the said Archibald F. Nc
Kinnon did strike, penetrate, and
wound, giving unto the said Archibald
F. McKinnon divers mortal wounds Of
which he instantly died
The second count makes the same
allegations of time, place and circum-
stance but alleges that Of these
wounds the said McKinnon '1anguish-
ed, and languishing died"
The third count alleges the wounds
to have been inflicted on board the
ship ':in a certain haven of the Pa
cifc Ocean, to wit, the harbor of Ho-
nolulu," and that death was instan-
taneous.
The fourth count is the same as the
third except that il is alleged that of
the wounds McKinnon languished, and
languishing died.
The fifth count charges the crime to
have been committed in a certain
arm of the Pacific Ocean, TO Wit, the
harbor of Honolulu" and death TO
have been instantaneous; while the
sixth charges death to have followed
languishing.
Wynne will be arraigned this morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
