CharnberIin-J°hhs°n-DuB°se Cs. AT 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.

"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.
