ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF THE LATE CAPT. DE LONG AND ENGINEER MELVILLE. Some startling charges are made against the late Capt. DeLong and his management of the Jean- nette Arctic expedition by Dr. D. F. Collins, the brother of the late J. J. Coliins, the sctentist of the pedition, In an Interview printed in the Minne- apolis Tribune. Dr. Collins stys:—* We have evi- dence that Capt. DeLong used his official position as commander of the expedition to persecute in every conceivable way some of the members of the expedition. My brother was placed under ar- rest for no reason whatever. ‘This Lieut. Danen- hower admitted to me when J saw him in New York. Capt. DeLong refused to allow my brother at certain times to do any kina of work, and pur- posely allowed all notes, photographs and records of the expedition prepared by my brother to sink. * * * We have evidence that Bartlett, now in Siberia, one of the seamen, 1s 1n esston of val- uable facts, but we believe he been kept in Siberia purpos: Ly by the officers of the expedition, so that his tesitmony may not get before the ard.” Dr. Collins further says that Melville sent two natives to Bulun, and they got drunk and were gone fifteen days instead of two, and “that while they were goné in search of DeLong, Melville and those with him made chessmen and checker boards and amused themselves, leaving the work of Searching for their compantons to two ignorant. and drunken natives. We have reasonable grounds for being certain that there a considerable Amount of intoxicants drank auring theefifteen ys they waited for the return of the two na- lives. *°* * We therefore make the charge that had Melville done his duty, instead of spending his time in playing chess and checkers, DeLon; and his party would not have died. Melville lef thein to die, and he fs responsible for their deaths.” WHAT MR. MELVILLE £AY8. A Stak reporter this morning called Engineer Metville’s attention to what. the brother of Mr. Collins, the scientist of the Jeannette expedition, was reported to have sald felative to De Long’s persecution of his brother, anti Melville’s conduct ener reaching Jand, and said he had read it. He added: “TI don’t wish to say anything about such mat- ters now. The least Said is the soonest mended, in my opinion, and the newspapers get things mixed up.” “If that 1s your difficulty anything you will write will be printed,” said the reporter. “No. Idon’t want to say anything at all. There 1s a commission now in session that will investi- gate the entire matter, and I expect to appear be- fore it soon. Idecline to say anything at all for the newspapers.” LIEUT. DANENHOWER DECLINES TO TALK. The Jeannette board adjourned at one o'clock until Monday, having finished with the examina- tion of Lieut. Danenhower. After the adjourn. Ment a STAR reporter approached Lieut. Danen- hower on the subject of the Collins’ interview. He, however, expressed a disinclination to be interviewed. WHAT THE JUDGE ADVOCATE OF THE BOARD SAYS. In conversation with the judge advocate of the board, Master Lemly, the reporter learned that the former had been in commupication with Mr. Collins and was cognizant of thestatement he had fire to the public. “You may said the say,” juige advocate, “that this board will enter fully into an examination of all persons and statements that come within its province. Lieut. Danen- hower will probably be reealled and questioned in regard to this matter.” “How about the man Bartlett, whom Mr. Col- lins says 1s retained in Siberia on account of his acquaintance with these facta?” asked the re- rter. Pectnat 1s Mr. Collins’ version of the matter,” was the reply, “Our information is that Bartlett was ordered to remain there to assist Lieut. Harber, whom, you remember, ts still there. If Mr. Bart- Jett or any other man whose: testimony 1s ne- cessary in this examination ig not herp when the investigation is conciudea, the board Will adjourn the hearing until they get'nere.” THE EXAMINATION 7G BE-THOROUGH. The judge advocate further said that the inves- ‘gation would be thorough and Mr. Collins would be summoned to appear before the board if the documents now in his ion relating to this matter are not deemed sufficient. Lieut. Danenhower expressed rellef at havi completed his examination, and {t 1s intimat was glad that he had not een compelled to say anything disagreeable about his late associates. Amember of the Jeannette crew said to-day Ly the Coliins charges should be probed to tne om.

During the morn- ing other lady friends of the prisoner came into court. Gen. H. V. Boynton was recalled, and testified that deceased was connected with several news- papers ir.

The defense objected, but the court ruled that the evidence could be taken, and an exception was en. A. M. SOTELDO’S DYING STATEMENT. Witness resumed, stating that he went to the hospital with Dr. Murphy, and they went with him to see Soteldo. He having mentioned that he Wag at the office the night before, Soteldo asked ho shot me?” Witness replied that there was some question as to that. Mr. R. R.

If the jury shall find from the evidence that the killing of Antonto M.

No words, however aggra- Yating; no libel, however defamatory, will justify the aggrieved party in revenging ‘himself by blows; and no words or libellous publication, how- ever aggravated, will prejudice the right of the person Uttering or publishing them to defend him. self if attacked in consequence thereof; and if the jury find from the evidence ih the present case that the deceased went to the office of the Republican newspaper, where the witness Barton was employed, actuated by animosity to- wards and with the intent to revenge himself by an assault upon safd Barton, whom he assumed to be the author of the alleged libel, and that he did, without any provocation there given by said Bar- ton, make an assault upon sald Barton with the intent to take his life or do him great bodily harm ; and if they further find that the defendant w Cognizant of the motive and intent of said de- Mund, and went to said office In company with the deceased and at his request for the purpose of ald- ing and co-operating with the deceased in said as- sault, and that while the sald assauit was in pro- gress drew a pistol and discharged it at sald Bar- ton with the intent to kill or do said Barton some grest bodily harm, and missing his aim inflicted*a mortal wound upon the deceased, then the de- fendant {s guilty of murder. 31. In considering the case the jury are not to go beyond the evidence to hunt up doubts, nor must they entertain such doubts as are mérely conjectural and chimerical. A doubt to justify an acquittal must be reasonable, and it must arise from @ candid and impartial investigation of all the evidence in the case; and unless it ts such that ir the same kind of doubt were interposed In ae reser transactions of life it would cause a Prudent man to hesitate and pause; it is insuml- clent to authorize a verdict of not guilty. If after considering all the evidence you can say you have an abiding conviction of the truth of the chi and you are satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt, you must find the defendant gutity. MR. TAGGART’S ARGUMENT FOR THE GOVERNMENT. Mr. Taggart, assistant district attorney, pro- ceeded to argue the case, claiming that the tes- timony sustained the indictment. ‘MR. CHRISTY FOR DEFENSE. Mr.Christy, for the defendant, followed, alluding first to the intimacy between the prisoner and the deceased, then to the -protection of the prisoner being committed to counsel, as also the vindica- tion of the memory of the deceased, and ing that the 4; stat was true, as also the testimol ot the ner. He also claimed that the number of the number of wounds and indentations of bails and the tions of the parties showed beyond doubt that the prisoner was innocent; that he could not have fired the fatal shot.

The Star Route Bribery Charges. THE TRIAL OF ARTRUR PAYNE. When the hearing in the case of Arthur Payne, charged with attempting to corrupt star route Juror Brown, was resumed tn the Police Court at 12:80 to-day, John E. Skivington was called to the stand by Mr. Wells, He thought that Payne was one of two colored men he saw in F. i. F. oMice about the latter part of June. The witne was about to detail a conversation he heard be- tween Fall and the man he thought was Payne, when the defense objected. Mr. Wells stated that he proposed to show that Skivington was THE MAN WHO STOOD BEHIND THE BOOKCASE: in Fall’s office and heard a conversation relating to the attempt on Juror Brown. After some argu- ment the court was inclined to admit the test mony, when the witness declared his inability to sWear positively that Payne was one of the men, and more argument ensued. The court finally de- cided to hear the testimony, saying that before he applied it he must be satisfied of the Identity of the parties, ‘The witness sald he was sitting In Fall's oMfce. Fall told him that there were two colored men he expected to come to the office, from whom he ex- pected to get some information valuable to the government. Fall asked witness to step behind the bookcase and listen to the conversation. Wit- ness did so, and he understood from the conversa- tion that JUROR BROWN WAS FOR SALE. One man said that the other coul! do anything with Brown, and Fall told him to procure tnfor- mation to ¢riminate Brown. After the men left Witness told Fall that it was dangerous business. Fall told him that he was doing It for the gov- ¢rnment and the government would maintain im. Mr. Wells, upon this statement, produced sity. ington’s affidavit saying that Fall did not say ip the conversation whether he was for the govern- ment or for the defens: “You told me in making that aMdavit,” sald the witness, “to be as brief and concise as possible; that there was not place to put in everything.” ‘The witness said that the conversation he test!- fled to to-day between himsif and Fall occurred after the colored men left Fall’s office. THE TESTIMONY ALL IN—JUDGMENT TO BE GIVEN TO-MORROW. When Skivington left the stand Mr. Wells said that that closed the government's case. alt Davis said the defense had no testimony to offer. Judge Snell said he would give Judgment in the case to-morrow. Mr. Clagett asked if the court would not first settle the udmissibility of THE FOOTE AFFIDAVIT, it not having been offered properly in evidence, its contents having been made kuown through & newspaper clipping. Judge Snell said he did not consider Foote’s af- fdavit, in the present state of the case, materfal. Mr. Clogett argued against tts admissibility. Mr. Wells argued that it was admissible, not as an uMdavit, but as apart of the admissions of Payne, according to Major Richard's testimony, who sald Payne was present when the affidavit was made, and adiitied the truth of its state- ments. Judge Snell sald he was inclined to admit tt for the reasons stated by Mr. Wells, but would reserve his deciston of the point. Mr. Wells said the government would waive the Tight to open the case.
