ship MODEL WORK
OF WAR Prisoner
John Peterson, Pirate, Whit
tied Graft While in New
Castle Jail
GOVERNMENT
PRIZES RELIC

The model of the full rgged ship
which graccs a cabinet in the Office OF
United States Commissioner w. G. Ma
halfy, the symbol of the jurisdiction OF
the court over ohcnses committed on the
high seas, has an interesting history.
The model has been viewed by thou
sands Of people and many wondered
where IL came from. According to those
familiar with the model, IL was made by
John Peterson, Federal prisoner in
New Castle Jail during the years lsTO-7z
while Peterson was serving a five years
sentence for piracy.
Peterson presented the model tu
United States Marshal Dunn, and il has
remained in the office OF the clerk al
the court ever since, Is years after Peter
son sailed from New ork and % years
after he was pardoned by President
Grant.
Peterson was arrested in Wilmington
in May, 1870. charged with piracy and
piratical murder. He was tried on the
two charges in the United States Dis
trict Court before Judge Edward G..
Bradford, father of the present Judge OF
the United States District Court. On
the charge of piratical murder he was
acquitted, but on the charge of piracy
he was convicted and was sentenced 10
serve five years. After serving about
two years of the sentence he was par
doned by President Z. S. Grant, August
l3, 1872.
AT the hearing it was brought out
that Herman Wurderman, a Swede
living in New York. had proposed 20
Peterson that the two go on a iunket-
ing expedition about the waters near
New York, and that the two men had
sailed out of New York harbor in
sloop belonging TO Wurderman early
in May, 1870 on May Ia the sloop
put into Wilmington with only Peter
son on board
Peterson first claimed to own the
sloop and made an attempt to sell
the vessel. Later he claimed to be
only a part owner of the vessel. ana
succeeded in selling the boat When
questioned by the authorities concern
ing whereabouts of Wnrderman. he
told several conflicting tales, stating
that Wurderman had fallen overheard
IN Great Egg Harbor and mad been
drowned, and also that he had been
swept overheard by high sea.
At the hearing the case of the govern
ment was presented by former United
States Senator Anthony Higgins, who
was then United States district attor-
ney. Peterson was defended by Levi c.
Bird
As originally made by Peterson while
serving sentence in prison, the model
was rugged with twine and cord. Several
years ago, when the new addition to the
Federal building was being erected, the
model had become in bad condition and
the rigging had rotted away. a rigger
working on the new addition who had
spent many years on the sea. was en-
gagged to rerig the model and installed
new rigging, Nsin9 fine wires.
