Ship Cameo Captain Shot Steward Bound in Boston Harbor
The schooner Cameo arrived in Boston with Captain Ira Colbeth severely wounded and steward Henry Hecker bound and jailed on a charge of attempted murder. Hecker, described as a mysterious 38-year-old from Pittsburgh, faced U.S. Circuit Court bonds of 5000 dollars as crews recalled a fatal cabin shooting likely linked to liquor while the vessel, from St. Kitts, carried molasses and a mixed crew to Boston after a stormy voyage.
