Am OMcial Inte the Cause ‘Who was at fault in the collision between the steamers Washington and Peatz which occurred this side of Alexandria Monday week was the question which Steamboat Inepectors Seville and Cooper were trying to determine this morning. For several hours the gentlemen sat in one of the rooms of the Georgetown custom house and examined wit- nesses. The examination, however, was not completed today, and will be resumed shorty. accident. Capt. Tull testified substantially thatthe causo of the trouble was the fact of the Washington having deliberately crowded him over to the Virginia shore of the river. He was in the pilot house and in charge of the boat. He backed out from the at his usual time and immediately after the Washington started out, blowing two whistles. He and stopped. allowing the Washington to pase on down the channel. Near the arsenal he «aw that the Pentz was geining rapidly on the Washington, and thinking that the latter designed to’ allow the Pentz to pass her, as the Norfolk sometimes did, he put her helm aport aud came ‘over to | the westward. Below Giesboro the Pentz |lapped the Washington and war guininj ly. From that point, said Capt. Tul, Washington by porting ber beim crowded the Pentz over continually. The Pentz passed an anchored schooner, running exceedingly close to her ad being well over to the westward. The Pentz passed within ten feet of the trap nets this side of Alexandria. The Washington blew three short whistles, which were not answered. Immediately the Wasbington ported ber wheel and started across the Pentz * bows. The captain stopped the Pentz and the vessels col- lided. The Bentz had about 400 passengers, who were greatly frightened. Capt. thought the Washington was entirely to blame for the collision, having Pentz as mashed the far as it was possible for her to go. B. EMORY TULL’S STORY. B Emory Tull, the quartermaster of the | Pentz, testified substantially as | Two vessels, he said, were anchored below Gies- boro, and the Pentz was obliged to pass 60 Close that it was uecessury to haul in the yawis, The Pentz and the Wasi ide by side and only about tnenty feet apart. “Soon afterward,” sad Mr. ‘Tuil, “the terry boat from Alexaadria was met and the Pentz gave three whistles and passed her to star- board. We gave the Washington one whistle and she did not answer, but crowded us and bad to port and go further to westward. ‘At the trap nets between Shepherd sand the magazine, the neta being on the westward side of the ebannel, the Washington blew three short puffs of whistle and immediately ported her wheel and we stopped the Jentz aud the | Washington struck us on | of our forward gangwa; In answer to questions Mr. Tull said that the Pentz got ulongside of the Washington just be- low Giesboro and that she was obliged to pass | to westward because there was no room |toeastward. The Washington crowded with port helm as soon as the P | pushing the Pentz clear to the west side of the | channel. The boats were about fifteen yards | apart when the Pentz wasstopped. She was in | shoal water. JOHN W. DYER A WITNESS. John W. Dyer, who is bartender on the Pentz, was the next witness. He was on board at the time of the collision. He came out of the bar at Giesboro and walked forward, watch- E. . over twenty fest To the best of my judgment at the trap nets the Washington headed over to usand crowded us to westward.” OFFICER M' KENNEY'S EVIDENCE. The next witness, James McKenney, a police officer on the Pentz, testified that the Pentz followed the Washington down from wharf. The Washington slowed up near arsenal, ap- parently ‘waiting, as when the Pentz reached her she started off again. The Pentz was on the starboard side. Below the forke of the channel the Pentz blew one whistle. “The Washington kept bearing us over to the Virginia shore,” sid the wit- ness. “She pushed us so far that there was only about twenty or thirty feet between us and # schooner st anchor. The Washington blew two whistles and we answered. The Pentz blew a whistle, which was not answered. whari and ran still further over toward us and the collision occurred.” No one was burt, according to the witness, althougi several Indies ianted and everybody was scared. He was positive the Washington kept throwing over toward the Virginia shore, and in his opinion the Peuts was us far over toward that snore as it was possible to go. CAPT. ECKRIDGE’S VERSION. Capt. John B. Eckridge of the ferry boat City of Washington testified to mecting the two boats on his upward trip and to passing them between Shepherd's and Magazine wharf. Both boats were to the westward of channel and he went a — length further westward. The two stoamers were abreast of each other. Both apparently were pursuing a straight course. He thought there was easily room to past between the anchored schooner and the Virgiuia shore. BOTH BOATS RUNNING VERY CLOSE. E. L. Fields, a superintendent of dredging, was on the steamer Washington as « passenger, At the arsenal he remarked that the two boats were running very ‘The Peutz’s nose would reach as hi the wheel house,” suid the witness, at times only about fifwen feet separated the boats. Later on the Washington lew tue danger sigual and no attention was paid by Pentz. Iwas f on saloon’ dock, and when the Pentz dropped back I started ‘back and the boate struck while I was almost mid- ship. In my opinion there was no reuson for “the Pentz to crowd in so, as there was room to westward. I am familiar with the channel Not only in my opinion did the Washington not pas to ‘westward, but I am certain that ti Rentinge the Washington had stopped that if at any time the Washington had st “would have drawn the two boats CAPT. DAVIS OF THE WASHINGTON. Capt. 8. P. Davis of the Washington testi- fied that the Pentz answered his whistles, but did not change her position in re- gard to distance between them and he could not get away from her. He was afraid, he said, tostop, for if he had the Pentz would Lave run over him. His warning signals were di: arded. If the Wi bad stopped the socidest ‘would heve been worse. |. H. Trower, the chief i and Lewis J, P. Petria, the quartermaster of the Washington, corroborated ali of Captain Davis’ statements. ‘The investigation rested at this point. i sus office has given out the tobacco siatistics of Arkansas.
