FOB AWFUL CRIM
Crime Committed En
Route From Mobile
to N. C. Port.
Special to The Georgian.
Wilmington, N. C„ July 1—Henry
Scott, the flrat of tho three negro mu
tlneora of tho.schoonor Harry A.' Ber
wind, paid tho pehalty on,the gallows
here today. The schooner waa bound
from Mobile to'this-port last October,
when tho crime waa committed.
Scott's accomplices, Robert Sawyer
and Arthur Adame, are under sentence.
It was on October 11 last that the
four-masted schooner Harry A. Ber
wind, her decks and cabins splotched
with blood, was towed lnto"8outhport
by Wilmington tugs. Aboard was a
prize crew of the Near York schooner
Blanche H. King, In charge of the threo
shackled and cowering negroes who
were charged with having mutinied
and killed In cold blood the captain,
mate and a fellow shipmate.
The story In detail Is a bloody and
terrible one. surpassing almost the
Imagination of writers of the most
lurid tales of the sea. Sawyer and
Adams were tried Jointly and convict
ed largely on the testimony of Scott,
who took the stnnd ngnjnst them. Scott
told the story of the voyage of the Ber
wind, from the time she left Philadel
phia In July, with the samo crew on
board as at the time of the mutiny, go
Ing to Cardenas, Cuba, and thence ti
Mobile. Soon after leaving Phllodel
phla, he said, there was trouble with
tho food, which continued all through
tho voyage, becoming worse after the
vessel left Cardenas for Mobile. Tbs
members "f I ho i r,-u w, n- ('aptuln ! M-
wln B. Rumill, whose home was In
Maine; John Hall, mute: Smith, i-ngi-
nesr; Folby, cook; John S. Coakley,
negro seaman, all of whom were'mur
dered, and the three negroes, Adams,
Sawyer and Scott.
At Mobile, Scott said, all of the crow
went 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
schoonor If they had any moro trouble.
Coming up to the story of the tragedy,
Scott said:
"On Friday night, October 6, off . the
Florida Straits, a storm struck us and
carried away our foretopsalL The last
time I saw Captain Rumill was on
Monday night at 8 o’clock. On Tues
day morning Sawyer was on the look
out and Adams at the wheel.
"About 4:30 o’clock the whistle blew
and I went to the cook to get the cof
fee pot. Hall, the mate, was sitting:
there drinking coffee, and the steward
was In tho galley. I took tho coffee pot
and went to the forecastle. When
went In Adams was lying down on
bench and Sawyer was sitting by a ta
ble reading. I went aft to the wheel to
rellovo Coakley. and ho- said he was
going forward to give the cook h—1. In
a few minutes I saw Coakley come
bock and he and the steward had some
words and then he grabbed the stew-'
nrd. I saw Hall, the mate, coming and
Coakley turned the cook loose and,
grabbed Hall and shot him three times.
Sawyer ran up and grabbed the stew
ard.
"When I heard It I ran on the star
board side, and Coakley had the mate,
throwing him overboard. Sawyer fired
two shots 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 them flrefl two shots
Into the engineer. Then they threw
him overboard.
"After supper Sawyer said: *We will
take the water tank and put It In
the big boat and let It go adrift, and
when we are near land with the vessel
we will water-log her.’ Then w» could
say that there were eight of us In
the small boat and she capsized and
swamped, and we swam back to the
vessel. I opposed the plan and they
all jumped on me, knocked me down
and tied mo with chains. In trying to
release myself, I shot and killed Coak-
loy. Adams 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, whlla Scott was
bound with chains.
But the story of Adams and Sawyer
put a different light on the affair, and
from the testimony Scott was In the
conspiracy as deep If not deeper than
the others. The court took the same
view of the case and sentenced all to
death. They were sentenced to be
hanged on January 28, last. Sawyer
and Adams appealed to the United
8tales supreme court and the preel-
dent reprieved Scott pending the ap
peal of the other negroes. A new trial
was denied them, and In the district
court here two weeks ago the data
for the execution was fixed for Au
gust 17.
NSPECTOR SAYS
MEAT IS GOOD
'Atlanta’s food supply at this time
Is In very good condition. I am mak
ing a thorough Inspection of meats and
when I find antblng wrong I condemn
the unsanitary meat at once," said
Meat Inspector A. Wasser Friday aft
ernoon. "If the county police kjgow
of any violations of the law. It Is
their duty to take it up. I have no
Jurisdiction out of the city, though I
can visit the slaughter houses and pre
vent their selling meat In the city If I
find them unsanitary or violating the
health ordinances.
"I make a dose inspection of small
calves which are brought Into the city
and condemn all I llnd under CO
pounds. I condemn any meat that Is
unfit for food. We cannot always tell,
by examining cut beef whether It Is
from S cow which has been with calf pr
not.
”1 hare recently made a dose Inspec
tion of- the packing houses and have
cleaned them out. They have supplies
of fresh stocks now and are selling
good meats. My ./pinion is that the
meat supply of Atlanta is In pretty
good Shape."
