speculation
Throughout the proceedings Admiral
schiey has hetl subjected 10 am ordeal
that would exhaust an ordinary man. but
ms bearing throughout notwithstanding
the Ereat strain upon him, has been that
oI warrior or "a sailor undergoing a
relentless and harassing siege Ills con-
duct upon the stand elected the admira-
Hon ot all He remained there for two
days, the centre OF an unremituaS hre
"f unencinE questions asked by the de
partments lawyers
Every ehort known 70 the strategy Of
law was made by three men who sat
q rrfTrr- IN rHurr. l.
That they failed is matter Of history.
Every answer TO every question came
from the admiral like a shot from a gun.
Nothing perturbed him. Questions
were asked him which would ex-
cite the average man 10 nerv-
business and to anger. But the ad-
miral controlled himself in magnificent
fashion and was as courteous to and as
considerate Of his prosecutors who sought
10 humHiate him as ne was TO his own
friends.
In his concluding argument before the
Court Cautain LemIy said.
