wasnington, Aug. 18. The naval
court of Inquiry Into tho death of
lieutenant James N. Sulton, United
States marine corps, has found that
the officer came to his death either by
accidental shooting or, by suicide; but
Just which it was not able to deter
mine." The court of inquiry decides
that no possible charge of criminality
lies against any of the participants In
the fray except Lieutenant . Sutton
himself, and that Lieutenant Sutton
was directly and solely responsible for
his own death, which was self Inflict
ed, either intentionally or in an effort
to shoot one of the persona restraining
him, and that his death was not caus
ed by any other Injury whatever..
The 'court finds that Lieutenants
Utley, Bevan and Willing failed In
their duties on the night of Sutton's
death, and finds that the charges of
murder .and. conspiracy to conceal
It" fere unfounded.
i - Minority Report. .
- Commander Hood n a minority re-,
port goes farther and criticises the
conditions existing at- the time In the
marine school of application, and says
Willing, Bevan and Utley should have
been brought to trial at the time, but
he now concurs tn the tocommenda
tIon""that no further ' proceedings be
held ' because of the youth and Inex
perience of the men at the time.

000 In bonds voted for the proposed
Appalachian railroad to the Huntdale
road and that the county could easily
afford to vote an additional $200,000.
