"Indecent Hast" of the First In-

Life Leading Up to the Tragedy.
By Leased Wire to The Times)
Annapolis. Md., ..Aug. 13 The
body of Lieutenant James N. Sutton
will be exhumed no matter what the
.finding of the naval court of inquiry
' may be as to the manner in which he
met death. ' This announcement was
made today by Mrs. Sutton, mother
or the dead lieutenant, who declares
, there are" several points which test
-,mony before the naval court has not
cleared up, and that the opening of
the grave of her son. will reveal the
truth, i
"I have been Informed that my
son's right arm was broken, and I am
going : to satisfy myself on that
- point," said Mr Sutton today.
; "I will have the - body exhumed
frpm "its grave at Arlington as soon
as I get back to Washington."
' The final arguments before the na-
; val court were begun today, ,!
:' Attorney Davis, " for the Suttons,
'scored what he called the indecent
IED
, 'hWter la which the flrat Inquiry had
been held. Then he pictured dra
- matlcally the events In Lieutenant
Sutton's" life ln -the marine corps up
- to t,hetlme he was buried In uncon-
secraiea grouna.
While the mother tried in vain to
check her tears and the sister of the
dead lieutenant eat biting her lips
to hide her emotion, Mr. Davis went
on,
. The scene in Carvel Hall,' the last
night Sutton spent on earth, when he
was with Miss Stewart, and Prof.
Coleman; the mianigfit adieus, the
'promise that all would dine together
tomorrow; the tribute 'Jimnlie' had
paid his mother as he sat in conver
eation all were told over again with
an artist's skill.
' '" ''And yet they tell us," said Mr
Davis, -"that this boy who left his
- companions under these circumstan
ces,' lay within an hour a corpse, the
' victim of a -violent death by his own
hand."
Lteutenant Willing, Attorney Davis
recounted, was a witness to. the cam'
'pus tragedy and while officer of the
day had calmly aonroved of the beat
' lhg being given Sutton, saying that it
i would do htm good. Mr. Davis then
. 'continued: ' . ; '" " -! ". : '

Marshall in Arizona, has been deposed
from his official position and Charles
