THE EDINBURGH HIGHWAYMEN.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.) Auckland, May 30. Captain Frater, of Auckland, who was master of the Ferogleu, gives the folio iving particulars concerning the desperadoes captured at Edinburgh:—“.Tames Waring shipped as third mate of the Fernglen at Loudon. He told the captain he was a commercial traveller at Edinburgh two years previously. He seemed to have something on his mind, and was discharged in Wellington on January 13,1879. Captain Frater says he was of a sensitive disposition and would probably commit suicide rather than be exposed to disgrace. As to James Grant, the seaman, Captain Frater says he was the greatest scoundrel and arrant coward he ever met.”
