Lieut.. R. II. Ingersoll, the executive officer
OF the Enterprise. was again on the stand at
the McCalla court martial yesterday and the
questioning and cross questioning to which he
was put occupied nearly the entire day
after tho Judge Advocate had finished the
reading OF Ensign Kliuos testimony az given
on Tuesday. Capt. Erben asked Kline why he
hadn't reported to Cspt. McCnlla the Iact that
ho had given Seaman Graham who was In
irons for five days for leaving his post permis-
sion TO leave tho deck while he iKinel was Of
hcer of the deck. Kline replied that he had no
opportunity. Then Mr.. Mcnyies piled him with
questions 10 get him to admitithatl II was out OF
sriteful motives against McCalla that he al
lowed the seaman to remain in irons Kline
insisted that he didn't think It was any Of his
business. Then Mr. Menzies wanted to know
IL the witness wasn't really asleep in the pilot
IS house. Capt. McCaila said no found him at
Antwerp, but on appointing TO the court Kline
WIS relieved from answering the question.
just after Mr. Choate stepped into The court
room, at 1lH o'clock, Admiral Harmony an
nounced 10 Capt. McCala that the court re-
fused his request for un oral summing up on
the part OF his counsel instead Of the written
statement which tho rules require. The Ad-
miral announced. however, that thore waa no
objection to having the request referred to Soc
ietary Tracy. This is an important point 10
the defence. and the LAWYERS say that OF late
years the privilege OF making an oial argu-
ment hns been very frequently granted. Lieut..
