The marks had been removed by
washing.
The chief engineer was then called.
He testified to having come aboard
ship with his captain. Everything
was quiet when he came aboard. he
went to sleep early. How he was
awakened he could not say, but the
first words he heard were. Il done it"
He got up. put on his shoes and went
out of his room. He saw the oiler

10 hurt YOU he said. I retained hold
( of him until the first officer came up,
and ] told him to hold him while 1
went for a doctor.
Doctor Macdonald was the next eN-
amined. His testimony was that while
which he had examined might have
been caused by a fall from quite
height. he was Of the opinion that the
wounds had been occasioned by some
blunt instrument. When asked if he
thought that one blow would be suf-
fcient TO kill a man he replied that
he hardly thought it would.
You say that a fall might occasion
the death. would it be possible for
the wound TO be occasioned by fall
TO the fioor?"
NO. that is absurd
The hammer was produced. 1t was
an ordinary machinist hammer and
was covered with a red substance
ha
blood.
The doctor was dismissed and
wynne was brought into the room. He
was pale and his answers at first were
uninteliigible. In the midst of death
like silence, in which every juror and
witness strained his ears TO catch ev-
cry word, Wynne answered the ques-
tions which were put TO him.
The testimony of his comrades on
board ship was that he was not drunk
yet Wynne was emphatic in saying
that he was drunk and had had so
many beers that he could not count
them.
wynne, who thought his watch end
ed at four o'clock in the morning,
came ashore about half past nine,
thinking that he would have no more
work TO do. He had four or five beers,
and purchasing some underclo.hing he
went back TO the ship, where the first
assistant engineer met him and asked
him where he had been. ashore" :"
was the reply. He was told that he
would have 10 work until twelve,
which he did. He claims to have came
back drunk and while sitting at a
table on the ship to have been insult
ed by the third assistant engineer.
Where did you get the hammer"
Il don't know, sir; I've been trying
| to make out, sir, all this morning"
! And 'I don't know, sir" was the best
that could be got out of the man for
the rest OF the questions.
How is the man making out, sir"
! he asked, turning to Mr.. Whitney.
II can't tell you now," said the Dep
uty Attorney General, you'll have to
ask" but the police came up just
then and removed Wynne to his cell.

Such were the words which John
Wynne, accused Of having murdered

engineer Of the s. s. Rosecrans, ut
tered when asked by Deputy Attorney
General Whitney, if he had anything

Wynne was a bin reticent at first

UNITED STATES
TAKES WYNNE
From sundays Advertiser)

A verdict implying that A. F. Ne
Kinnon, the third assistant engineer
of the Roseerans, had been wilfully
murdered by Soner John Wynne, of
the same vessel. was returned last
night by the coroner 5 jury, and i'm
mediately afterward the ease was taken
out of the hands Of the local author
titles and the accused man arrested on
4 Federal warrant charging murder un-
der Section 5SS9 of the Federal
statutes. This section provides for the
punishment of murder committed on
the high sea or on any body or arm
OF water outside the jurisdiction of a
state or territory. As the killing was
committed on board vessel flying the
American flag the crime viii come un-
der this section of the statutes and
Wynne Will be tried before the Fed
eral court.
Immediately after the inquest Wynne
was taken TO the Judiciary building,
where he was examined before United
States Commissioner Hatch. From his
own statement he was guilty of causing
the death Of MeKinnon and he was
bound over without bail for the Fed
eral grand jury, which Will meet on
October IL Immediately after the
eommittal Commissioner Hatch and
United States District Attorney Brec-
kons went down TO the Rosecrans, where
they served subpoenas on the captain
and other officers who viii be requir-
ed as witnesses in the case when it
comes up before the grand jury.
The story in the afternoon papers
to the effect that Wynne intended to
kill the first assistant engineer and
not McKinnon. was evidently the ere
alton OF an. underworked brain, as the
testimony of th7 officers of the Rose
Grams at the inquest shows Wynne
stated in plain words after the deed,
that he had meant to kill Nc
Kinnon and no idea has ever enter
ed the head of any of those on board
the Roseerans that the first assistant
engineer was the man whom he was
after.
The decision to take the matter in
to the Federal court was reached yes
terday, after a conference between
the Attorney General and the United
States District Attorney, and as re-
suit the arrest was made as soon as
the verdict was returned. The eoro-
ner's jury brought in their findings
in the following form:
1--WE, the coroner's jury; decree that
a. T. Mckinnon, third assistant en-
gineer on the S. S. Rosecrans, came to
his death by being struck on the right
side of the head with a blunt instru-
ment supposed to be a machinist's ham
mer, in the hands of one John Wynne
an employe on the S. S. Rosecrans.

TURBULENT COURSE
OF WATERvILLE Love
From Wedlock to Adultery, and Then
To Jail-Thompson Is Up
Against 1t.

S. A. Thompson, of Waterville,
whom it will be remembered was
arrested in this city during the ear
/ ly part of the week by Deputy Fitz-
gerald, was arraigned before Justice
Friel at that place, and held under
bond of $1,000 to appear before the
Superior court at it's next term.
1t seems that Mr.. Hofer, broth
er-inlaw of Thompson, had the lat
ter arrested on charge of adultery.
Thompson and his wife had lived for
some four years in the St. German
aeighborhood, but on last Monday
they separated. Thompson secured a
license to marry Agnes Hofer, sis
ter of his first wife. Hofer claims
that Thompson >Was not married to
his first wife.
The following from the Big Bend
Empire shows the case as being still
more complicated:
Last Monday Miss Agnes Hofer
came from Wenatchee to wed S. A.
Thompson, who is in jail here under
81 eco bonds awaiting trial on q
charge of adultery preferred by Miss
Hofer's brother. Miss Hofer went to
the sheriff's Office and asked 10 see
Thompson, which request was COM
piled with, and while the parties
were conversing in the sheriff.s Office,
Rev. w. C. Jones, who had been en-
gagged by Attorney w. ]. Canton to
perform the ceremony, arrived and
stated that he was ready to proceed,
This was the first intimation that
Sheriff Logan had of the contemplat-
ed marriage and refused to permit
the couple to wed under existing con-
ditions. 1t was confusing situa-
ton for the minister, who supposed
satisfactory arrangements had been
made.
Thompson secured license to
marry Miss Hofer about two weeks
ago, the latter being but II years
old. They went to Waterville, regis
tering as man and wife, and ThOmp-
son was arrested on April 16, charg-
ed with having wife living in Ohio
while he and an older sister of Agnes
Hofer were living unlawfully to-
gether near St. German, this coun-
ty. The fact that Thompson and the
younger girl have not been married
will doubtless complicate the case
of the defendant, as it is claimed he
is now liable to a statutory charge.

Roosevelt Objects to Guard.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt had his way about
the protection afforded him by the
secret service. One, instead OF two
special agents of the secret service.
is now stationed at the White House
Ever since Mr.. Roosevelt has been
President he has been fretful over
the restraint thrown around his
movements by the secret service. He
found it difficult to get used to hav-
ing guards accompany him whenever
he left the White House, but recall
ing the lesson taught them at Buff
falo when Mckinley was laid low By
an assasin's bullet, the secret SER
vice authorities have insisted on thefr
men being assigned for duty at the
White House and to go with the
president when he left Washington.
Up to McKinley's time secret SER
vice men were not sent along with
the president when he took a swing
around the circle, nor were they sta
toned at the presidents official res
idence in those days. It was in 1892
or 1898 that the practice began OF
having guards protect the person Of
the chief magistrate. When McKin-
ley was shot the secret service was
vigorously condemned, although I'M
fairly, for what great many peo-
pie believed to be negligence. On
that Inflated occasion two or three
special agents were present, but de-
spite their vigilance Czolgosz COM
mitted the crime for which he paid
the extreme penalty of the law.
When Theodore Roosevelt came to
the White House, the secret service
officials made up their minds not to
take another chance. Mr. Roosevelt
has always maintained that in Wash
ington the president is in no danger
that if a conspiracy against his life
was planned it would not be carried
out here. Secret service men, in his
opinion, are useful here only in saw
ing the president from the annoyane ~
of encountering the importunata
crank or the well-meaning person
with a grievance. However. the
secret service people have their owr
IDEAS about the matter, and insisted
that two of their men should always
be on duty at the White House, and
two secret service men have been
stationed at the White House up to
the past week. Only one is now
there and he is the pick of the corps
When the president travels in the
future, however, two men of the SER
vice will go along with him, accord
ing to the custom that has prevailed
for the past I'VE or six years..
During the second administration
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1907-04-27
Of Grover Cleveland there we're num- /,

OF Grover Cleveland there were num-
erous alarmist reports OF plots
against the presidents life, and po-
lice were detailed for duty in the
White House grounds as a precau-
ton. In the winter time these Of
ficers occupied sentry boxes, which
were the cause of much criticism of
the president. But Mr.. Cleveland
himself objected to the prot action af-
forded him, and on one occasion at
his summer home at Buzzard's Bay
he ordered two detectives off the
grounds who had been summoned
there by Mrs. Cleveland.
During the Civil war period, when
excitement ran high in Washington,
President Lincoln was constantly
guarded in his movements around
the capital. Mr.. Lincoln was moi
aware Of the precautions that had
been taken to protect his life. The
idea that he was in danger, constant.
ly preached by him by his adviser:
and members of his family, was dis
taste to him, and he gave notice that
he would not tolerate any measures
that would give the impression that
he was in fear of violence But Just
the SAME, Lincoln was protected at all
times. It is related that on one oc-
casion he was closely followed on
one of his walks by a soldier in uni
form. The president stood the sur
vigilance for a while, but finally
turned in his walk and warned the
soldier to so his way, insisting that
he was well able to take care of him
self. Theodore Roosevelt is man
or nerve and courage. He has no
fear that any one would attempt to
take his life. Mr. Roosevelt is a
pretty handy man with a gun, and
the fellow who attempted to do him
harm would be lucky to escape alive.
