AID FOR THE JUDGE ADVOCATE.
Acknowledgement. has been detailed TO assist
Judge Advocate-General Lemly IN the prepara-
ton and handling OF papers before the court.
Although not assistant to the judge advocate
in technical sense he will actually act in that
capacity so far as concerns the handling of the
official papers required by the judge advocate in
the formal presentation OF his case.
II is regarded extremely probable that an
assistant attorney general viii be assigned TO
assist Judge Acknowledgement Lemly in look
ing after the interests of the Navy Department
before the court. The names Of several officers
Of the Department Of Justice have been con-
sidered. but final selection has been made
Captain Lemly has expressed Willingness 10 con-
duct the case without assistance but the off,
cials Of the Navy Department have practically
decided that he should have the aid and CO.
operation Of an officer Of the Department of Jus
tice learned in the intricaces or legal practice,
1t is said here on authority that Messrs. VII
son, Raynor and Parker constitute all the legal
aid 10 be employed by Admiral Schley.
