Mr.. Raynor. Chief Counsel
for Schley Delivers a
Touching Argument.

Washington, Nov. THE eli
max of the Schley court of in
quiry came yesterday afternoon
when Mr.. Raynor, chief counsel
for Admiral Schley, concluded a
brilliant argument of over three
hours with a peroration so eloqu
ent and impassioned that all with
in the sound of his voice were
profoundly touched.
This remarkable trial, he said
sought to condemn the man who
had brought to a successful ter
mination as greata naval triumph
AS was ever Won. In vivid cOlOrS
he painted the picture of the
Brooklyn with Commodore Sch
ley on the bridge fghtin the en-
tire Spanish fleet until the
Oregon appeared out of the
smoke. The scene in the court
room as he finished was thrilling.
The attendance had been large
all day and at the morning sess-
ion a lady had tainted from ex-
element.
AS Mr.. Raynor began his
eulogy of Admiral Schley those
in the audience, many of whom
We're women, leaned forward in
their seats. The spell of his
oratory was over them and wnen
he desc ri bed the admiral's gall
ant deeds and the long persecu-
ton to which he had been subjec-
ted many Of them wept.
The members of the court dis
played evidences of emotion and
Admiral Schley himself was
plainly moved. He sat, leaning
back, with his hands behind his
head. His chin twitched and DIS
his counsel said he could afford
to await the verdict of posterity,
two big tears rolled down his
cheeks.
For fully thirty seconds after
Mr.. Raynor closed there was not
a sound. Then the tension broke
in a loud burst Of applause.
