was situated. Fees and travelling ex
penses ran to $4,000, all told. The

wrecked while en- route for additional
witnesses and several of her crew were
drowned. The boat carrying the pris-
oner to the revenue cutter upset and
the prisoners leg was broken. The

coed $4,000. besides loss Of life. The
prisoner received a Jail sentence Of
