"Stf - ' iiiii JUDGE WILCOX SPEAKS ON CAPTAIN OF THE ROSAMOND Says He Needs BackVoue Result of Assault With Weapon Case of Colored Sailor Brown. "You know, on shipboard when the srars become loose, they usually put In little pieces of wood to hold them firm nnd that 1b known as 'fishing.' That Is what I believe Is needed by tlieflcak somewhere. The pumps were set captain. -of the four-masted schooner , 'Itosaniond to hold up his backbone, l'erhaps ho should get n new one1 alto gether. A man who cannot preserve order aboard his ship better than that, needs something to give h,ls backbone strength. I fine you $50 and costs." This Is what Judge Wilcox said to cabin boy Brown of the Rosamond this morning when the case of assault with a weapon on Cook Bannister had been finished. The captain of the ship was In the room at the time and, naturally, he turned tour or five different hues In as many seconds. It will be remembered that Brown was arrested yesterday forenoon on the charge of assault with a deadly weapon It seems that lie and the cook had had some tioublc and both had taken up weapons, the cook to Drotcct himself. The second mate, who happened lo.be near the galley when the trouble was at Its height, took the revolver away from the man Brown nnd threw It . overboard. After the cook had been let up from the deck whero he had been floored by the cabin boy, he went up to the police station and lodged a complaint which resulted In the arrest of Drown. The prosecution put on three wit nesses, all ot whom told substantially the same story. They all put down Brown as the aggressor. In fact, , Drown himself was his own worst wit T ness. aBnntstcr was the first man put on the, stand. He said that Brown had gone off the ship for a day or two without permission nnd bad left him all the work to do. Vhen he returned he (Bannister) did not say auythtng but went on with the 'work. Drown assumed :i threatening attitude and then, going outside, got a bottle, re turned nnd liKide a pass at him with It. He then knocked the bottle out of Brown's hand, grabbed a poker to pro tect himself and stood on 'the defen sive. Brown went out of the galley ngnln and soon returned with a revol ver. Before he knew It, he was struck with the weapon nnd floored. Then when he was down on the deck. Brown dealt him another blow over the eye. Mueller, one of the teamen aboard, was til enext to take the stand. "Vhen icqucsted to raise his right hand In order to be sworn, he refused, saying that his religion prevented his swear ing before God. Judge Wilcox was equal to the emergency nnd put the regular oath, leaving cut tho latter part. Mueller then took his seat, con tented. The witness said that he had seen Drown rush to the galley with n revolver and bad sees lum strike the rook with It. The second mate hail then run up aud thrown the weapon overboard. Mate Johnson told substantially the same story as the other two witnesses. The defense put on Second Mate Nel son who said that he saw Ilannlst' chasing Brown Instead of vice versa nnd that the cook had a long bntcher knife In one hand and a stove poker lu the other. He first said that he had seen Brown with a revolver In his hand but changed this and said thaw the first mate had told him he had seen it. In addition to this, he said that he had picked tho revolver up off the deck and had not taken it out of Brown's hand. Brown himself testified to the trou ble between himself nnd the cook, and remarked thnt when he was In the galley at the beginning of the troublo, ho had made up his mind he would not go out of the place although tho cook hud told him to do so. He Intended to resist. He then claimed that tho cook had como nt him with n knlfo aud that he hnd run after a tetnlver to protect himself. He mid he did strlko HARD TIMES ARE THE best test of a new suburb : : : : : The fact that THREE..

The testimony In court showed thai there Is serious trouble brewing aboard the Rosamond and that the men arc split up Into two sides. Judge Wilcox evidently recognized this fact from the lecture he delivered the defendant af ter fining him and In which he referred to the captain.
