Chainberlin-Jahnssn-DuBese Ca. 1 AT FOR AWFUL CRH Crime Committed En Route From Mobile to N. C. Port Special to Tho Georgian. Wilmington. N. C„ July Henry Scott, the first of Iba three negro mu* tinners of the schooner Harry A. Ber- "Ind, paid tho penalty on the gallow liere today. ‘ The schooner was bound from Mobile to this port last October, when tho crime was committed. Scott's noi'oinpllivs, H.'hert Sawyer and Arthur Adams, are under sentence. It was on October 18 last that the four-masted schooner Harry A. Ber- wlnd, her decks and cabins splotched with blood, was towed ■ Into Southport by Wilmington tugs. Aboard was a jrlie crew of the New York schooner Bloncho H. King, In charge of the three ntnu kind sad cowering negroes who were charged with having mutinied and killed in cold blood the captain. mala and a fellow shipmate. The story In detail It a bloody and, terrible one, surpassing almost the Imnglnntlon of writers of the most lurid tales ot the sea. Sawyer mid Adams were tried Jointly and convict ed largely on the testimony of Scott, who took tho stand against them. Scott told the story of tho voyage of the Ber wind, from the time she left Phlladel >hla In July, with the same crew “lift ill .UOi W 1*1, Hum Clew on joard as at the time of the mutiny, go ing to Cardenas, Cuba, and thence to Mobile. Soon after leaving Philadel phia, he said, there was trouble with tho food, which continued all through the voyage, becoming worse after tho vessel left Cardenas for Mobile. The members of tho crew were Captain Ed win B. RumllL whose home was In Maine; John Hall, mate; Smith, engi neer; Folby, cook: John 8. Coakley, negro sonmnn, all of whom were mur dered, and the three negroes, Adams, Sawyer and Scott. At Mobile, Scott said, all of the .crew Iwent ashore, and Adams, Coakley and Sawyer bought revolvers at a pawn shop, telling him (Scott) that they were going to "fix” the officers of the schooner If they had any more trouble. Scott sail "On Friday night, October 6, off the Florida Straits, a storm struck us and carried away our foretonsall. The last time I saw Captain Rumll! was on Monday night at 8 o'clock. On Tues day morning Sawyer was on the look out and Adams at tho wheel. “About 4:80 o'clock the whistle blew nnd I went to the cook to get the cof fee pot. Hall, the mate, was sitting there drinking coffee, and the steward wns (n the galley. I took the coffee pot and went to the forecastle. When I went In Adams was lying down on a bench nnd Sawyer was sitting ~y a ta ble rending. I went aft to the wheel to relieve Coakley, and hp sold he was going forward to give the cook h—I. In a fow minutes I saw Coakley come back and he and the steward had some ard. I saw Hall, the mate, coming Coakley turned the cook loose and grabbed Hall and shot him three times. Sawyer ran up and grabbed the stew ard. "When I heard ItT r»n on the star board side, and Coakley had the mate, throwing him overboard. Sawyer fired two ahota Into the steward. During this time Adams was wrestling with the engineer, and when Coakley and Sawyer had thrown the mate and cook overboard they came to Adams’ assist ance and each of th*m fired two shots Into the engineer. Then they threw him overboard. "After supper Sawyer said; *We will take the water tank and put It li the-big boat and let It go adrift, am when we are near land with the vessel we will water-log her.' Then we could say that there were eight of us In the small boat and she capstsed and swamped, and we swam back to the vessel. I apposed the plan and they all Jumped on me, knocked me down and tied me with chains. In trying to release myself, I shot and killed Coak ley. Adama and Sawyer overpowered me and tied me again. Then they hoisted the distress signal. That night the schooner King took us off and put us In chains." The testimony of the officers and crew of the schooner King as to the state of things on board the Berwlnd when they picked her up agreed with the story as Scott left It. The four white men of the crew were missing, and the body of one negro (Coakley) was on the deck, while Scott was bound with chalne.
