WEALTHY PLANTERS SON
CHARGED WITH MURDER
Nephew of Chief Justice of Appellate
Court Accused Of Killing
Negro Seaman

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30.--Jo-
seph e. Gardiner. son of wealthy
planter of Saylersville, KY, and nep-
hew of JuS-e Edward c. ORear, chier
Justice of the Kentucky court of ap-
peals. and y possible candidate for gov
ernor of his state, faced a jury here
today in the federal circuit court OF
appeals on a murder charge.
He is accused of killing joseph car
doza, negro boat pilot, on the whaler
Bowhead. on which young Gardiner
shipped as a hefore-the-mast hand,
sailing from this port in 1908.
The prisoner was represented by At
torney w. A. Young and Henry r..
Prewitt, both of Kentucky, sent out
by Gardeners family, and by Attorney
Parke S. Maddox of this city, who has
prepared the case of the defendant apd
befriended Gardiner since his arrest.
The fight which resulted in the death
of CORDOBA took place in the northern
seas, according to witnesses testifying
today. Alexander Peterson, member
of the Bowhead's crew, stated Gardi-
ner refused to obey an order given by
CORDOBA and struck the latter
CORDOBA knocked the youth down and
beat and kicked him as he lay on
the deck. They were separated, but
after a few minutes Gardiner came up
behind CORDOBA and struck him on the
head with a heavy stick, infiicting in
juries which caused death some hours
later.
Other witnesses confirmed the story,
but said CORDOBA appeared well on the
way to recovery that night and did
not die until next day.
One witness said the blow was de-
livered from the side, not from be-
hind.
