court martial trial of Captain Sumner
of the U s. cruiser Columbia, on charges
growing out of the testimony adduced
on the investigation into the injuries that

that were laid in three counts, as fol-
lows

ance of duty.
Second-Suffering a vessel of the United
States Navy to be hazarded in VIOLATION
of Clause ii q. rticle s. of the Articles
for the regulation of the Navy, and
Third-Neglect of duty.
The specification under the first count
is that on July H. 1895. he made con-
tract at Southampton for docking the
cruiser but did not make an examination
to see that the dock was suitable. That
under count two reads:-That having
learned that the blocks were not suited
to the hull of the ship. he did not have
the dock flooded, so as to lift. and there
by save the Ship
The alleged neglect of duty is speci-
fed as having ordered the bill of the
docking to be paid, when he should
have refused, because of the damage
done, to pay.
The Court was made up of the follow
ing officers:-Commanda M. Sicard,
Chairman; Commodore r. R. Wallace,
Captains A. T. Mahan, H. B. Robson,
S. Caser, W. S. Schley, James O'Kane,
Albert " Reed, N. H. Farquhar, B. ].

The first thing the court did was to or
ganize and prepare to arraign Captain
Sumner and to hear his plea. Many of
the officials about the Court martial
room said they expected him to plead
GUILTY.
