TO TRY ALLEGED MUTINEERs.

Wilmington, Ded., Jan. 2.-The cas-
es of the Is alleged mutineers in the
crew of the American bark, Manga
Reva, we're called for trial in the
federal court here today. The alleg-
ed mutiny occurred on the high seas
in November last, when members of
the crew of the Manga Reva rebelled
against what they considered the
poor and inadequate rations given
them. After making the captain anG
his chief officers captives, the crwe
took possession of the vessel aIa
brought her into port. Charges Of
mutiny against the alleged ringlead-
ers followed. The trials will be the
first of the kind that have taken place
in the federal courts here in many
years. The most of the accused men
are subjects of England, Germany,
Norway or Sweden, and the consuls
representing those countries have Ell.
gagged counsel to assist in the de-
tense.

The newspaper rumors that the
prisoner begged %piteously for his life
and was dragged behind an automo'
bile, 50 far as I was able to discover,
do not appear to be true. The only
statement made by the prisoner, so
far as l have been able to discover,
was that at the time he was led
across the court house lawn he re-
quested that he be given a chance,
stating that he was not the man who
murdered the billions. l have, how
ever, taken the pains to carefully
read the stenographic report Of me
trial, and am fully convinced beyond
any possible doubt that he was the
man who murdered the billions.
I am also attaching herewith, for
your consideration, complete steno-
graphic report of the trial, as well as
a transcript of the statements made
by the sheriff and the various persons
[ examined. From my investigation
it would appear to me that Carr
Erickson, the sheriff, is a good citizen
and stands high in his community.
His honestp and integrity are not
questioned by anyone, so far as ] was
able to ascertain. AS to his conduct
and actions in respect to the care and
safety OF the lynched prisoner in his
charge, and the extent to which he
Should be held accountable for the
lynching, by reason of such conduct.
you can best determine for yourself
from the statements of the witnesses
attached hereto, including his own
statement and that of Mrs. Erickson,
his wife. Ny personal views on that
phase Of the subject were fairly ex-
pressed to the sheriff. So far as |
was agile to learn and determine, it
appears that the states attorney and
the sheriff were, and are, busilv en-
gagged in good faith in making a
thorough search for the guilty per
sons who took part in the %lynching.
Respectfully,
Attorney General.

him, and remained therein during the
time that the masked mob battered
down the outside door, entered the
building and forced the two doors
leading to the prisoners cell, and until
after the men had removed the pri-

time he was engaged in trying to at

west side o fthe Jail, but not shooting
at any Of the masked mob. That at
the time he vas armed with two au-

He did not at any time face the mob
or threaten them, but did request that
they desist fro many attempt to take
the prisoner, both while in his bed

incarceration in the south part of the

except by threats of shooting him if

about two o'clock, Tuesday morning,

prisoner was not removed to the peni-
Tertiary the day he was sentenced was
that another charge of murder in the

prisoner and the states attorney de-

thorities to arraign the prisoner on
this second charge the Monday pre-

the prisoner to the penitentiary the

The Jail Of Williams county is locat.

to get to the Jail, you proceed through
a corridor to the south side Of the
Jail and then up a narrow stairway
to the second floor, On the second
floor, and Immediately to the east Of
the stairway landing, is one part Of
the Jail, protected at it's entrance by
a heavy CRATE, steel door, inside of
which rae two stel cages with a mar

to the east wall of the Jail.
The prisoner on the night of the

Of this part of the Jail. TO get to
him it was necessary to force the
heavy door guarding the entrance to
the corridor and also the heavy steel
CRATE door to the prisoners cell.
In the south half of the upper story
of the court house are two other pri-
soners' cells or cages, the entrance to
which is guarded by a more modern
