What bat this In de with Captain Kldd?"
Well, I will tell you.
One day last August a ten-year-old tirvlilii
ran up te me with the questien,
Paps, who was Captain Kldd?"
Why?"
"Ohl I want te knew."
Why?"
"Ob 1 lKnsn. I was out sailing with Mr.
.Tcnktm, ami landed ever thnre nn lluir lluir lluir
Moen Island, and lie nhoweil me a plin'e
where Captain Kldd luiried his money."
"Willi, if he told you se iiiitrb, why didn't
be tell you mere, and ijlve you tlutvvliitle
history or Captain Kldd?"
"He told motenskyou."
And thinking tills plain recital or the
il coils ornnetaltlo sailor will Iih ititoreutliitf,
we reprotluce them here, net vouching for
thelr truth, but probably as neir the truth as
anything can new be obtained el that nnleJ
character.
William Kldd was an KncllsLminii, theiiRh
Boine eay a Scotchman, of Greenock, and
was born ne.ir the mlddle el tlie enventeeuth
century. I'rler te the year 1G91, he was a
prominent chantcterln the city or New Yerk,
where he marrled Mrs. Sarah Oert, tvltlntv
era innrclialiterthat citj". Tradition points
te Cedar ftreet, at its junction with William
stiMit, as the place et Ids residence.
l'rem his youth lie had been accustomed
te tlie he.i, and in the French war he had
commanded a cruiser, meeting the ennmy
en all occasions witli courage, skill, and riic riic
cess, besides chastising the pirates who were
went le i-rnise en me aew i.iiriuihi pn.ni.
In HiOl, be was opposed te the administra
tion el Oovernor I.oisler (afterward the
vlrllm or judicial murder), and en tlie ar
rival or Sloughter, who superseded I.eislur,
lie reccitwl n hundred and lifty pounds "as
a suitable reward Ter the miny iroed services
dene te" the provlnee of New Yerk. After After
eords Kldd and Sloughler associated in
Londen aslrientls.
In tlie year lUII, tlie Indian ocetn swarm
ing with pirates, it hcame necessary te take
ineasures for their apprehension. Accord
ingly, as Kldd was at this time in Londen,
in command el n merchant ship, it was pro
posed te glve him an nrmed vossel, and send
him en a crutsn tn drive the pirates front the
seas. Kidd, having a telerable acquaintance
with all tliPirhnuuts, readily agreed. 1'Nliep
Uurnet tells us that the king hlmtf was
InttireHtril, and was in favor of making the
expedition a prlate venture, ellerlng te
contribute a thousand pounds Afterward,
howevor, he excused Jiimsi-lf from linHmul
pirticlpatlonseu lmpociinleui grounds, leav
ing the axponse te be lerne by Kiclianl,
Karl or llollemont, then but Just apielntsl
gnvornerof New Yerk, in connection with
Rebert Livingstone, el New Yerk, CapUIn
Kidd, and ethers.
Kidd made his contract with liollemont,
having Livingstone as his bondsman, Helle,
meut agreeing te get him a commission as a
private man-or-war tn tight pirates, "with
Mich larce and beneficial ttewiirii and clauses
in such commission as may be most proper
and ellectual." Tlie earl was te pav four-
lirths, and Kidd and Livingstone eiie-llftli,
of the money required for tlie expedition.
The pretlts each should recolve Irein the
voyage were te be regulated by tlie propor
tions contributed, liollemont thereby ex
pecting te rocelv e n lien's tthare.
On tlie lllh of December, lfifi'i, Kldd re
ceived his commission, authorizing him te
war against French ships and Mich ether
Hblps as wero liable te confiscation, besides
tlni-tu of t'ie units
The rollewing April he sailed for New New
Yerk In the Advnnture galley, with a crew
or eight men, en Ills way btking a French
prize. lie leuialued in iert alHiut three
months, raising men, when, at the end or
tills time, having increased his crew te one
hundred and tilty-Ml.v, lie salled ler the In
dian ecean, bearing w 1th him nn establislieil
reputitien for courage, capacity, prudence,
and Hklll. Ills crew-, however, bad been
enlisted en the principle of "no purchase, no
pay," ami u tire generally el a desmrate
character. At his trial it was proved that he
went te sea Willi many misgivings; and
after he had lelt, Governer Fletcher wrote
home te the Heard or Trade, that "many
Hocked te him from all parts, men or desper
ate fortune", and necessitous, in expectation
of getting VHst treasure. It is generally be bo be
Meved here that they will have money, by
lair means or ieul ; tbat If he miss or the
deiign intended, for which he was commis
sioned, it will net be iu K bid's iewer tn
govern Hiicli n herde of men under nepiy"
The latter clause, excusing Kidd In advance,
is tlie mere slgulllcmt from the fact that It
was punned by Kldd'x political opponent,
who was by no means desirous e! doing liim
any geed.
Kidd had, noverllie'oss, set out en his voy
age ; and new let us note its Incidents.
Karly In Septemlmr, lfi', he sailed for
Alauelra, arriving there Ojt. s IIe reached
Madagascar the following January. The
next hepiemtier be was en the coast nt Mala
bar, where he was attacked by two I'ortu I'ertu I'ortu
gueso ships, which he fought all day, and
linally Ixmtetl, having fourteen men wound
ed. He continued te cruise for pirates until
tbe following Nev embcr (lWTj without suc
cess. At that time he lull in with a richly
laden L'nglish shin, which ills crew voted te
capture, though he eventually restrained
them. Soen alter they took a ship manned
chielly by Meers, which, it appears, was a
legal prkn. Feb. 1, Ifis, they lull in with a
liengal merchftnt ship called the Quldali.
This was also taken, though it iloes net ap
pear tint any Weed was shed. The capture
was afterward ilecltred illegal, while the
testimony provel that Kidd was no longer
master et his ship.
Alter tills lyisaded te St. Mary's Madagas
car, where he sunk ills iirst prize, and where
ninety-sev en of Ids men.uaiisned or Ids real
character, gladly improved the occasion te
desert te ihe Mecha frigate, a pirate ship
lying at that pert, which ship he desired te
capture, but lalled te get the co-eporalinu el
his men, who assured him that they should
much prelorte turn their guns njien him.
In ills deieineless state he was alternant
plundered or much ammunition and stores
by the pirates, w he, after giving their late
ceiumaiider these expressions of opinion,
which plainly implied that he was deemed
altogether tee virtuous for their nec tv,
wiled away. Seme time prier tn this, in ,111
altercation with his gunner, lvid.l stru.-k
him with a bucket, and Moere neon died
Kldd having but sixteen well-dlsiosed
men left, improved the occasion te set sail iu
the Quidah, ieavlng the Adventure galley

luaiued, lied from him, when he w as obliged
toleavo the Quidah iu JUspaniela, and sail
ler New Yerk in n small sleep. On reaching
New Yerk he received a letter from the Karl

It appears that the "large and lieeetlem

slgued te accrue chielly ter his own benefit"
had naturally brought upon him odium and
tuspcien. It was even openly asserted that
Ilelloment went out te Massachusetts, wheia
KldU was appointed te bring his prizes, in
order te aid nnd abet him iu his work.
Charges were carried te the feet of the throne
Hself, and in the Heuse of Commens it was
openly declared that the king had unwit

fore, became alarming, and liollemont has
tened te declare that Kldd had exceeded
even the "large and beuellclal powers"
rIveii by his commission, hoping thus te
outwit his ndversarlts, and by ills virtuous
real In proclaiming Kldd n plratn te get this
disagreeable person oil Ids hands altogether.
And, resolved mi appeasing the people at
home te the extent el his power, he took ail
vantage el a technicality In law, saying that
In Massachusetts It was Impassible in con let
pirates at all, as the people were iu laver el
piracy, en account et inn gsius which u
brought (an outrageous lllwl In llsclf), nnd
delivered up Kldd tnthoniitherlliesat home.
Hut this ungenerous treatment of Ids former
trlend brought no advantage, and Tailed te
stlry his enemies; while a lew months
lrt!tr,"ern Kldd was brought Inte court, the
larl IdiiKeir was announced te meet the Inst
liidite at tlie great assize.
Still otliers besides Itellnment were impli
cated, and though the chief miuager of the
commission hid gene where tlie wicked
cease from troubling, hn had left assecivtes
behind ; and accordingly, en the fifteenth
day et April. 1701, Simen llaroeurt, the dis
tinguished Tery lawyer, appeared at the kvr
erthe llouse or Commens, and in Ihenniiie
of all Knglaud, Impeached. Lord Jehn soui seui soui
ers of high crimes and mlsdeiniuners, one
charge being distinctly grounded en his c in in in
noclleu with Captain Kidd.
New. Iherefere.lt behooved his lordship
and bis friends te show their al'lierrence or
plrary, lojether with all commissions having
' large and Ivenellcial clauses ." and though
Kldd hid lain In prison a whole jeir, ieene
cuing te press the suit, the Hillticat pirlj te
which ills lordship belonged at once re
vealed a deep Interest. In little mere than
twenty iliv. ami before the time lived ler
Lord Jehn's own trial, Kldd was dragged te
the bir, and summarily condemned. These
at nil acquainted with the history or the times
must have little penctralien, If unable te de
tect the H)llcy at the bottom or the whole
transaction.
Kldd had nowcaed te be of any person vl
InqierLince, and se slight n sacrillce could by
no means no emitted, IT the sacrifice would
in any degree seem te purge I.nrd Jehn.
Accordingly Kidd must die, tn show that
man's abur.rrence i.r crime.
Twe distinct charges uern hrnucht against
Kldd : first, the killing el Moere, hisgiinnvr
' I lnnrdcred VV llllitn Moen a- I died ;
and, second, tlie capture el the Quidah mer
cli mt man. Iu the course or the trill en Hie
llrst charge, Kidd freely acknewlfslged that
heciused thedeitli nt Moere; but dwl.irrsl
tint the deed was done in theisiur-ii or a
lieated altercation. Monre, the i; miner,
hiving a chisel In Ills hand, tell into nn
nngry ilebate with his cemmiiider, who
struck him with a bucket. One witness
testified that Monre liad previously lnen un
well, and another declared tint the trouble
arose from the tact tint Kidd had refused te
capture a vessel which was net a law fill prize
'Ihewliole transaction took place leler the
Quidah was taken, and while his crew were
in that mutinous spirit which led te ins
being fin illy overpowered. Kldd wis un un un
deuble 11 tlie caue or his gunner's death,
and this he lunentetl. Yet in our own d iv
it would be dilllciill for a uir.v i'l -uch a c.i
te bring in any stronger verdict than that or
" unintentional homicide."
The charge or piracy was luied entirely nn
the capture of the Quidah. Here the testi
mony vi as ev cry way insulllcient for convic
tion." Te an unprejudiced inlnd.lt is dear
that Kldd had at that time lest control et his
men. The voyage hid proved unsuccessful
as reirded the pirates; and new, in accord
ance ith the prediction of ( iovernor Fletcher,
the crew determined te have money, by fair
means or foul. Hence Kldd give way, and
the Quidah was taken.
At the trill Kidd franki3- acknowledged
tlie Tact el the capture, and, as his df fense,
claimed that theQuldalt silled with a French
piss, mid that her master was a French
tavern keeper at Ml rat. Ills papers, he de
elated, had been Liken bv Karl ISellemnnt,
no. deceased, and he only rt-qusted time
te recover them and produce the French piss
in court. One witness testiticd that Kldd
liul informed him of the existence el the
ms at the tlmoef thecipture; yet the court
would net de.ay the trial ler lin hour. In
the end the prosecution was pressed, and
kldd was deemed te death.
The action el the judges and all concerned
must he regarded simply as atrocious. K uld
was net even allowed the assistance el an
ndvo'ate. Te eminent members el the
legal professiou were silenced by the judge,
and forced te reiniiuiu their he its dumb.
It is true tint the Kuglish law at tint time
did net permit rsens charged with piracy
mid kindred crimes te have, the beueht el
counsel, except en tnints of law. And w lieu
Dr. Olilfish, one of the alvecilus relerred te,
attempted Income te the aid of Ills client, hu
was put down with the declaration thst he
must treat ,i in itler of mi, or else be quiet
It is slranue that down te se late a period
there should have been no better prevision
te secure justice. Iu lfilTi, a law was Intro
dined In Parliament for the protection of
accused orseiis hut It was some time Ijefore
it was eiiutisl. It Is dnuhtliil, s.tvs Lord
Campbell, whether It would ever have passed
at all, had net the Firlnr Shtlleshury, after
breaking down under the fatigue et a speech
made in its f.ivnr, reseiided te a cry toce
en, by rising te his feet and saying: "If I,
sir, who rie only te give my opinion en a
bill new pending, in the fate of w hieli I bav e
no iKTSenal Interest, am se confounded tint
I am unable teexpresi the least of what 1
preHsed te siy, vvhitmust tlie condition of
that m in lie, who, without any assistance, is
catled tn pleml ler his lite, ter his honor, and
Ills iesteritv " This stirring appeal olectri electri
tled the hbiisevind secured the pvssign or the
bill. Hut It cauie tee late for the untutored
sailor. Denied the prlvilege or that delay
which might have secured his pipers, bulled
by Iho chicanery et the prosecuting counsel,
mid badgered by tlie oppressions el an un
liist Indite. William Kldd civeup the cise
in hew ilderment, and laid down Ids hie.
Kidd wastiie victim ol'npeliticiil nis-essity.
The party sought te save Lord homers by
sacrihcing one el his milMinllniites. In 1 1 .' -,
a"Htrsouet qualltv," w he saw the Hlitical
turn the whole allifr bid taken, vi rote : "As
considerable a man as our triend Hullnment

deserves pralse In elhersmay bocnniea crime

proper for attempting their ruin."
The remark had been attributed te the
great Naimlrnn, thst if he could mike the
songs of a isHipl, lie cared net who made
their Iiwh. vnd he knew what lie meant.
Wh find an illustration of the power of song,
even in the doggerel verse of "ye Union utile

Iieing anything like "ye true historic," does
net eveiigive Ins right name, making lit nt

William Kldd ewes ids present reputation,
net te Ids intrinsic h ulness, but loeueot these

nnd casts ethers down. Kldd was Indeed no

no was geed enough ler a victim.
He (Mine upon the stage at a time when
