A TRAGEDY AT SEA.
One Man Shot ana Killed and Two
Wounded.

The arrival at Charlestown, s. c., Nov. 18th
of the steamer Mohawk from New York re-
vealed shooting tragedy on the high seas of
the North Carolina coast that resulted in the
death of F. W. R. Hinman. business manager
of the Florida Times Union of Jacksonville,
and serious injuries to another passenger, B
H, Wright, Utica. N. T., and to the Mohawk'e
captain All three were victims of bullets
fred by a passenger who booked as George
Batchelder Perkins, architect, of Boston.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hinman, Mr.. Wright and Capt.
Ingram were sitting in the companionway Of
the Mohawk when Perkins approached clad in
paiamas and rain coat. The captain told him
he must wear more suitable apparel if he
wished to remain.
Perkins Immediately drew a revolver and
began firing. Mr.. Hinman was struck twice
in the abdomen, Capt. Ingram was hit once and
MIR. Wright once. A fifth bullet went wild.
Perkins is said to have turned the weapon on
himself, but found he had emptied it.
A wireless call for additional medical aid
was picked up by the torpedo boat destroyer
Flusher which rushed to meet the Mohawk.
MIR. Hinman died early Thursday aboard the
steamer. Capt. Ingram and Mr.. Wright were
placed in hospitals on arrival at Charleston.
They were reported Friday as improving
Perkins, who boarded the Mohawk at New
York. was placed in irons Immediately after
the shooting Wednesday night, and when the
ship docked at Charleston was given prelim-
inary hearing before United States CommlS-
sioner Hugar and ordered held murder
charge Evidence tending to show he was not
mentally responsible was introduced at the
hearing.
Friday Perkins insisted that he knew moth
ing of the tragedy and was surprised to learn
that he was in Charleston that morning. He
protests that he did not know Hinman, the
dead man, and his mind is apparently blank,
as far as incidents on the steamer are con-
cerned.
Mr.. Hinman, who was the president of the
Southern Newspaper Publishers association,
was well known through the South. He was
accompanied by his wife, formerly Miss Min
ME Broadhurst of Augusta, Ca, and was talk
ing with the captain at the time he was shot
Mrs. Hinman is a niece of Mrs. S. L. Milliken
of this city and visited her about eleven years
ago. Mrs. Milliken spent winter at her de-
lightful home about six years ago and was
very fond of the family, consisting of daugh-
ter and two sons. One daughter died about a
year ago. Mr.. Charles w. and Mrs. Augusta
s. Frederick, Mr. and Mrs. E. P Frost and
Miss Maude E. Barker had also visited the
Humans when south. 1t is a very sad affair
as Mr.. Hinman was unusually devoted to his
family.
