SAVE SEVENTEEN
FROM OPEN BOAT
Crew Fights Against Death "a
Hours After Bath Schoon-
er Founders.

BOSTON, Jan. 15.-The laundering
of the Bath schooner, Grace A. Mar
tin. thirty miles south of Matinious
Rock yesterday, and the timely res
cue of her crew of seventeen men
from an open boat one hundred miles
off shore by the steamer A. W. Perry,
Halifax for Boston, was reported by
wireless today.
For nearly twenty-four hours the
Martins crew, in an open boat nearly
100 miles off shore, battled against
death under the bitterest of weather
conditions. The distance from the
spot where the schooner foundered to
the steamer route between Boston and
Halifax is fifty miles, which repre-
sents the drift of the Martins long
boat from sunrise yesterday until
dawn today, when the castaways were
picked up by the Perry.
The Grace A. Martin, heavily laden
with coal, sailed from Norfolk for
Portland on January 4. She was
caught in the westerly gale off Cape
Cod on Monday, but her skipper de-
cided to continue across to the Maine
shore instead of seeking shelter at
Provincetown. The vessel was driv-
en- further and further off shore on
Tuesday. Two days of hard pound
ing opened up her seams. and she
filled and sank. The crew had suf-
ficient warning to take some food and
heavy clothing before jumping into
their long boat.
The Grace A. Martin was a five
masted vessel, built at Bath in 1908
and registered $500 tons net.

CALMLY TELLS Of
KILLING HIS WIFE
Charles Mack. Negro, Declares
He Was Drunk When He
Committed Crime.

In a calm voice Charles Mack, a
negro, told the jurors in the Court of
Oyer and Terminer, Judge William
P. Martin presiding. the story of how
he hacked his wife Lelah Mack's
head to pieces with a blunt axe as
she lay asleep in their furnished room,
1886 Mulberry street, on the night of
July Is last
Mack's defense is that he was in
toXicated at the time the crime was
committed, and as to the actual kill
ing, the striking of four or five heavy
blows with the axe that fractured
his wife's skull in nalf a dozen places,
he claims his mind is blank.
Details leading up to the staying
and following it when he dressed
himself and walked to Broad and
Court streets where he gave himself
up to police officers, are all clear in
his mind.
But on direct examination his story
ended when he told of his wife awak-
ening him in the middle of the night
to renew "A quarrel that had started
earlier in the evening. He continued
it bv stating that when IT come to
myself my wife was lying dead on the
bed with the axe beside her" He said
he had no recollectiomlof dealing the
fatal blows. On ross-examination he
stuck rigidly to this story, and AS
sistant Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott
was unable to get any of the details
of the actual killing from him.
Mack said that he had frequently
quarreled with his wife over her ac-
tions with a man named Pease, and
that on the night Of the killing. fol-
lowing a row with her late in the
afternoon he left the house and Wis
tied several saloons. When he re-
turned to his home about o'clock
he said he was intoxicated. but had
supper with his wife and her sister
during which all parties drank some
bottled beer
| Mack, in his testimony. said he
| then told his wife that he was going
| to leave her and that she said in re-
| ply that he would be forced to sup
! port her, even if she went to live with
/ Pease.
Mack said he ceased to argue with
| his wife and went to bed and that
| some time in the night, probably be-
tween one and two o'clock, she awoke
him to resume the quarrel. He again
/ told her he was going to leave her
and that is as far as his memory ex-
] tends.
Prior to Mack taking the stand in
his own behalf George A. Douglass
and Joseph A. Coult, ir., his counsel
put a number of witnesses on the
stand to testify to the good character
of Mack. Most of these men were
employees of Wilkinson. Gaddis Co.
by whom Mack was employed at the
time of the murder They all said he
was a sober. industrious man nd
that he had frequently complained OF
the actions of his wife In running
around with another man. He had
never made any threats to do her
i bodily harm, as far as any of the
! witnesses knew.
The case will go to the Jury late
/ this afternoon.
Counsel for both sides finished sum-
ming up before the noon recess to-
day. When court reconvened at
o'clock Judge Martin charged the
jury, which body retired for delibera-
/ ton at 2:40 o'clock.

Murphy Is Quickly Found
Guilty of Carrying Concealed
Weapon by Judge Osborne

1t took Judge Osborne just half a
minute in Special Sessions Court to
adjudge Thomas Murphy guilty of
carrying a concealed weapon. Murphy
was arrested in a building at 45 Clin-
ton street on December 26 last, after
he had been seen by the janitor. John
w. Mitchell, to enter an office in the
building.
Mitchell discovered that Murphy
had a revolver in his possession and
made two complaints against him,
one of breaking and entering and the
other of carrying a concealed weapon.
Murphy pleaded guilty to the
burglary charge, but denied that he
had been carrying a weapon, stating
that he had found it In the Office of
j. II. Schaefer, which was one of
those he had entered.
Murphy seemed to be making good
in his plea that he was not carrying
the weapon, but had found 1t in
Schaefer's office until the latter took
the witness-stand and swore he had
never owned the weapon.
