THE CAPTAIN TESTIFIES - Twenty-four hours after the sad accident on the river Monday sfternoon the body of the colored man, James McL. Rodgers, was recovered and taken from the river. As published In yesterday's Star, a number of persons were out on the river searching for the body of the drowned man just below the arsenal, and the crew of the police boat also remained on duty. About 3:30 o'clock two men, Sullivan and Webb, took charge 02 the drag of the police boat, and soon caught the body not far from where the boat was upset. Harbormaster Sutton took charge of the body and nad it taken to the morgue In the patrol wagon. It was thought that one of the coal barges had so badly disabled the deceased that he could not swim to a place of safety, but Coroner Hammett failed to find any marks of vio- lence on the body. This morning an inquest was held at the sixth precinct station, a number of the de- ceased’s friends being present to hear what was said of the fatal accigent. After the coroner’s jury had viewed the remains Un- dertaker Speare removed them to his estab- lishment, on F street, and then to the late Mount Carmel Baptist Church, corner of 4th and L streets, tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. The first witness examined by the cor- oner was George Schwab, jr., who was in the boat at the time of the accident. He testified that Monday afternoon, about 5 o'clock, the accident happened. “Near the arsenal, in the navy yard chan- nel. We were anchored in the 80 our lines could be thrown in the 1.” “Were you near the wharf?” a juror asked. “About the distance of two squares from the wharf.” Witness said that when the tugboat and barges were coming up the river his father suggested that they move-the boat, but Rodgers (the deceased) said: “Oh, no; they = move out; they have no business in ere.”” When the coal barges neared them wit- ness made an outcry, and the others did the same. “Did the tugboat whistle?” asked the cor- answered witness; oner. “No, sir,” “we had no warning at all.” Witness said there were two barges lashed together, and the tug was pushing them. He said there was no “lookout,” and he thought the men on the tug could not see them. He started to lift the an- chor, and had it half up when the barge ran over them. Witness thought there was @ young man on one of the barges. The captain said he did not see them. Several of the jurors questioned witness concerning the location of the boat, and he said the boat was anchored in the grass, out of the channel, where he thought large boats are not supposed to go. Rodgers, he said, was the best swimmer in the party. Witness saw him go down. The Son’s Account. Allan Rodgers, son of the deceased, was next examined, and he seemed greatly af- fected over his father’s sad ending. He said he went down the river about 1 o’clock and met his father, Mr. Schwab and the latter’s son. They caught bait near the shore and (iy see ae the sak grounds. eir t, he was anc! in the grass, inside the line of the buoy. The tug and barges came from the navy yard, and he sald that the tug was more over in the grass than in the channel. Witness told of the conversation between his father and Mr. Schwab,and said that he (witness) made a leap for one of the coal barges. He succeeded jn catching hold of one of the bumpers and ciimbing to the barge. From the top of the barge he saw his father and the Schwabs in the water. His father, he said, made an effort to swim toward a small boat and when within a few feet of the boat he went down. There was a life line thrown from the tug, but his father was not near enough to it to reach It. The bafges and tug were lashed together and the tug was attached to the side of the barges. John William Jones, colored, was seated on a tug near the arsenal Monday after- noon and he witnessed the fatal accident. According to his idea of things the tug was more on the grass than in the channel. The fishing boat was anchored in the grass so the men could fish in the channel. “How do you know they were anchored in the grass?” he was asked. “Because I have fished there myself as many times as I have fingers and toes, and have anchored in the very same place.” Witness said he heard the men in the boat make an outcry, and one of the called to the tugboat: “Get out in the river.” He said that the tugboat and not the barge struck the fishing boat. Witness thought the fishing boat could have been seen from the pilot house of the tugboat. When further questioned he said one of the fishermen called to the tug, and a man on the tug shouted: “Get out of the river.” A man in the pilot house of a tug tied to the wharf said he thought the accident could have been avoided. Mr. Schwab’s Testimony. Conrad Schwab, baker at 1211 H street, testified that be had known Rodgers, the drowned man, for at least twenty-five years. Monday morning about 7 o'clock he went fishing with Rodgers. About 2 o'clock bait gave out, and they went ashore for mcre. “That day,” he said, “we kad what they call ‘bad luck,’ and had only caught one rockfish, a catfish and an eel. The water was muddy, and when we went back we fished for catfish.” Witvess said when he saw the coal barges coming he suggested to Rodgers that they meve in toward shore, but Rodgers said that there was no darger; that they were mot in the channel, and the- barges would have to move out. He told of the outcries made, and said that one of the barges and not the tug struck them. He could not tell whetber the tug struck the small boat afterward, for he (witness) went under one of the barges. When the accident happen- ed, he said, their boat was anchored in the grass, and the barge that struck them was not in the channel. He did not see the tug. Witress said there was nobody standing on the front of the canal boats. “Did they throw out a line from the tug?" witness was asked. “Yes, but I was half drowned then, and they cam» near drowning me afterward. I am a good swimmer, and that’s all that saved me.” Wit:ess told of his bruises, and said that his trousers and drawers were torn almost from him. “What was said to you by the men on the boat?” “f don’t know. When a man’s been in the water so long as I was, you see, I was Just living, and didn't pay any attention to wi was said.” ess wa: wharf on the brought to the 7th street 's Statement. Capt. George W. Ross of the tug Gilmore Meredith testified that on Monday he left the navy yard at 4:45 with two canal boats. When he reached the turn at Buzzard’s Point he looked down the channel and saw one boat on the port side. He did not see the boat in which the fishermen were seated. After looking down the channel he paid na more attention until he reached the ar- senal. He supposed the sun had prevented his seeing the boat on the other side. “Was the small boat in the channel?” the coroner asked. “Yes, sir,” the captain replied. “If you did not see this boat,” sald the how do you know it was in the “Because I could not get over the grass.” The first he knew of the fishermen being there was when some one called, “There’s a boat under the bow.” Witness then rang his bell for the en- gineer to reverse his engine, which he did, and he thought the tug only ran about 180 feet after that. Capt. Ross said it was impossible for him to have seen the fishing boat when he was within a short distance of it. “Did you have a lookout on the canal boat?” the coroner asked. “No, sir,” he replied. “It has not been cu to have a lookout during my experience on the river,” Witness said that the channed at the point where the accident happened is about 180 feet wide and he thought it was about 25 or 30 feet deep. The boat in which the fisher- men were seated was several feet in the channel. Witness was in the pilot house at the wheel, acting as both master and pilot. Henry Mills, engineer on the tug, testified that he heard some one call “‘There’s a boat under the bow.” Just then he got four bells and a jingle bell and he went back as hard as he possibly could. W. 7. King, fireman on the tugboat, was at his post of duty when he heard the bells ringing. He went out and saw the men in the water. He threw the line out as quickly as possible. Witness saw noth- ing until the boat stopped. He could not tell whether the small boat was in the channel or not. Policeman Russell Dean, who is pilot on the poiice boat, testified that he went out and brought in the fishing boat. He found it anchored about sixty feet in the channel from the north bank. Witness said he had known Capt. Ross for a number of years, and said he was one of the best known and was considered one of the best tugboat pilots on the Potomac. Concerning the rights of boatmen on the river, witness said he thought sailing boats have some rights over steamers, but all boatmen are supposed to be as careful as Possible. He thought there should be a “lookout” on boats being towed in this way. If there had been such a person on these barges this accident might have been avoided. “De you know of any other accident which this boat or Capt. Ross figured the coroner asked. “No, sir,” was his response. “Excuse me, doctor,” Rev. W. P. Gib- a of the deceased, interrupted, “bu 0.” “I'll hear you under oath,” the coroner told him. Harbormaster Sutton testified that he thought Capt. Ross was one of the best and most careful pilots on the Potomac. Con- cerning the legal rights of persons on the river, witness said that steamers at night are required to have a “lookout,” but he could not say what the law requires in the daytime. tu Both Harbormaster Sutton and Pilot Dean said that this channel is a favorite fishing place, and the latter said he had often warned fishermen of the danger of fishing in the channel. Rev. Mr. Gibbons said he knew nothing Personally of any previous accident, but a man named Radcliffe had told him of one. Mr. Winship, owner of the tug, said that Capt. Ross had been in his employ for more than twenty years and this was his first accident. Verdict of Accidental Death. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, attaching no blame to the tugboat in ead crew. —_~ AMUSEMENTS.
