HE IS UNABLE TO GIVE BAIL
Inspector Charged With Misconduct
in Allowing Vessel to Operate and
Government Is Also Requested
to Take Up His Case.
NEW YORK, June 28. The inquiry con
ducted by Coroner Berry and a Jury Into
the General Slocum disaster was con
cluded today, and, after nearly four
hours' deliberation, a verdict was ren
dered in which' the directors oX the Knlck
erbocjeer Steamboat Company, Captain
"Vanschaick, of the Slocum; Captain
Pease, the Commodore of the company's
, fleet, and others were held criminally re
sponsible. "Warrants for their arrest
were issued. The mate of the Slocum,
Edward Flanagan, according to the Jury,
acted in a cowardly manner, and the mis
conduct of Steamboat. Inspector Lund
berg, it was reported, should be brought
to the attention of the Federal author
ities. The charge in each case is manslaugh
ter In the first degree. Ball was fixed by
the Coroner varying from 51000 to $5000.
Edward Flanagan, the mate, was the
first arraigned. Ho pleaded not guilty,
and his bail was fixed at 51000. He was
committed to jail. Inspector Lundberg
pleaded not guilty, and was released on
51000 bonds.
Ball was fixed at 55000 each for Presi
dent Barnaby and Secretary Atkinson,
and bonds wero furnished at once.
Captain a Prisoner at Hospital.
Captain Vanschaick Is a prisoner In the
hospital, captain Pease will not be ar
rested until tomorrow, when it is expect
ed that the directors of the company will
also bo taken Into custody. At the As
sistant District Attorney's request, the
Coroner committed Assistant Engineer
Edwin Brandow and Deckhands Coakley
and Handley as witnesses, sending them
to the House of Detention.
The Jury Is also of the opinion that the
system of inspection which prevails in
the harbor of New York Is very ineffi
cient, and does not properly demonstrate
-whether the llfesaving apparatus and fire
appliances on the vessels In this harbor
are In proper and suitable condition to
prevent the loss of life, and we recom
mend to the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor that he issue such instructions to
the supervising and local force of in
spectors as will cause them to efficiently
and honestly examine the boats plying
In and about the harbor.
All but Forty Drowned.
Formal testimony was presented that
905 bodies had been recovered, of which
all but 40 met death by drowning. Floyd
S. Corbin, named as one of the directors
of the Knickerbocker Company, tonight
said he is not a director of the company,
having been replaced at the last meeting
of the company's stockholders in Febru
ary, and that he does not own a single
share of stock. He was much surprised
by the verdict of the Coroner's jury.

NEW YORK. June 28. Michael Roach,

in many countries, is dead at his home
in Hempstead, L. I. Roach suffered from
heart trouble, brought on by excessive

frequently more than 12 hours a day.
When he fell ill, several months ago, the
doctors warned him that excessive devo
tlon to music had weakened his heart.
and that he must use the bow more mod
erately. He observed their injunctions
for a time, but found it hard to master
Ills passion for music, so that, two weeks
ago, he was forbidden to touch tho violin
again. He declined rapidly from that
time on.
