D DANES DON'T BELIEVE 08. COOK FAKED RECOBBS, KB IS DECEABED One Nr Scientist De clares .affidavits Made To the Effect That Cook Hired Men to Man ufacture Records Too Improbable To Believe. COPENHAGEN —A summary of the af fidavits of persons claiming to have aid ed Dr. Frederick A. Cook, in preparing his polar data, published in London and New York, was read here with amaze ment. Scientific circles are inclined to be incredulous regarding the charges and some persons like Dr. Carl Burrau, the astronomer, considered them so im probable that their effect will be to strengthen confidence in Or. Cook. Affidavits of George H. Dunkle, brok er, Captain August W. Loose, seaman, the two men asserting Dr. Frederick A Cook hired them for $4,000 with the promise of additional bonus of SSOO to one of them to fabricate astronomical observations and calculations o* latitude and longitude for submission to the Uni versity of Copenhagen were published in the New York Times Thursday morn ing. The men admit their reason for making the affidavits was that the ex plorer only paid them $260 for their work. Dunkle tells how he met Cook and caused him to become interested in Loose. Dunkle says they went to Cook with the idea that he wanted some one to help him prepare evidence clever enough to fool the Danish Savants. The two men decided that the explorers orig inal narrative bore traces of fraud, and that Cook would welcome the right kind assistance the carrying out the “blufi”'. Also there is evidence that Dunkle in tended to reserve the lions share of the spoils for himself. Loose Doubts Discovery. NEW YORK—Captain A. W. Loose, master pilot and navigator, who made the affidavit that he formulated a series of observations and data for Dr. * Cook at Cook’s request since his return from the Arctic regions talked Thursday at his home in Brooklyn concerning statements made in the affidavit. “I went to Dr. Cook,” said Loose, “thinking I might assist him, but never expected to do such extended work. A short talk with Cook convinced me he knew almost nothing about navigation. He was igno rant of some of the essentials of the science. A person not accurate might have thought himself at the pole when only within 60 miles of it; as I got deeper into the matter I began to suspect Cook was never out of sight of land.” UNKNOWN MAN IS BURIED IN SAVANNAH Special to The Herald. SAVANNAH, Ga—The body of the unknown man found self slain with a bullet in his brain east of the city Sun day afternoon last, now rests in the strangers burial ground in Laurel Grove cemetery—the Potter’s field of Savan nar. Although coroner Goette kept the body from Sunday to Thursday no one ever came to identify it. It was pretty well established that the man thought to be C. M. Ford, came to Savannah from New York by steamer on Friday 01 last week but that was ail that was found out about him. He wore clothing that had been purchased in different cities of the country and seemed to have travelled a good deal. He was well dressed and was apparently a man of refinement. Every effort was made to find out who the stranger was but they were unavailing. A photograph was received from Richmond, Va., today, where a C. M. Ford, who has recently been to Savannah and who Is now away from home lives but it was not a pic ture of Uie dead man. This is one of the most mysterious suicides SaVannah has seen in sometime.
