For Second Time Officers' Court
Puts Responsibility For Naval
Academy Tragedy Upon The
Dead Man.
(By Associated I'rctw.)
WASHINGTON, August lS.-With
the publication of Acting Seorctary of
the Navy Winthrop's approval of Hie
linilings of the court of inquiry that
Lieutenant James N. Sutton Jr., of
the United States marine corps, was
directly and solely responsible for his
own death at Annapolis iicdudy two
years ago, the Iiuiiuilh Sutton caw be
came a closed incident so far as the
navy di-irtment is concerned.
Counsel for the Sutlons in1ima.tcd.
however, alter the court's decision had
become definite'' knoivvn. that they
were far from satisfied with the ver
dict and tlirnt they probably would
lake the Ikhucs Involved to cong'rcs
with a view to having a full hearing
of the case by a committee of that
txxly.
Mrs. Suttmi declini-d to dim-use the
result of the Inquiry wlileih she sought
in an effort to clear her tboy's name
from the stigma of suicide. Acting
Secretary VVInlhrop paid Wiat he hatl
dissolved the court of inquiry.
Kscnc All PiinisliuM-nl.
Too much time lias claimed since
the Inciilent, in the opinion of navy
officials, to undertake any proceed
ings agalnat the persons who.se con
duct in the case has Ih-cii made the
subject of criticism by the court, but
informal way of Ihcsc cril ieh-ins.
which will both wive the purpose of
an admonition to t'hem and of pre
senting to th.-m the i'-w taken by the
department of their conduct.
Although Mr. Wlntlirop In his cn
dorsoincnl spi-nks of tin; lax stale of
discipline existing at the marine
school prior to and at the lime of
Sutton's death, he wiya that condi
tions have improved, Oluit splendid
discipline prevails at this, time and
that lie is confident I hat the unfor
tunate situation pieviously existing
will not again prevail.
The marine school of applb-atoin Is
now located at Tort Royal, South
CwoHnaunder the. jjtssctkw of Unu
tenant Onlonel Cole, who In regarded
as a very excellent and nihie officer
