WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 10.-Willlam
II. olayton, The New York attorney, who
some time ago asked to be allowed to
represent Rear-Adulra1 Sampson before
the Schlcy court OF inquiry, and whose
request was denied by the court to-day
presented a letter to the court, asking
that whenever the Circumstance arse,
which cntitle Sampson TO representa-
ton, You will permit our admission as
counsel in his behalf.
Mr. Stayton refers to parts Of the re-
cord when ne and his associate think
reflect on Rear-Admiral Sampson, and
continues:
10 Were we alone in our opinion that
these arguments are improper, we should
hesitate to make such statements, but
the judicial officer Of the court, the judge
advocate has repeatedly characterized
these arguments as improper.
81 Ne, of course realize fully that the
Intervention of new issues and new par
lies ~ ght ne improperly used to cumber
the recon-. and prolong lie trial; but
counsel are entirely under Tie control of
the court, and may always be suitably
restricted 80 therefore, request that
we now be permitted to appear before the
court and given facilities which will en-
able us to hear Inc procedure, and he
present to defend Rear-Admiral Sampson
when counsel shall make upon him at
ready deemed proper to make"
THE REPLY.
The court replied as follows:
''Sir,-The court has received your letter
of this date, in which YOU request per-
mission to appear before the court as
counsel for Rear-Admiral Sampson. and
given facilities which will enable you 70
hear the procedure and defend that Off
cor from attack when necessary.
In reply, / have to ~+-to that the pre-
cept governing this court gives it per-
mission to allow any person concerned in
the investigation to be present for the
purpose of examining witnesses and Civ
ing evidence. The court holds that Ad-
rniral Sampson is not an interested par
ty in the case now before it. and is not
therefore, entitled to representation by
counsel as such. You arc further in
formed that if circumstances arise which
in the opinion of the court make it nee
essary for Rear-Admiral Sampson to be
represented, due notice will be sent him.
VERY respectfully.

SERIOUS CHARGE
AGAINST DOCTOR
d.. w. W. Dickie, Former Rich.
monder Suspected of Causing
Death Of Young Woman.
especial dispatch to Tho Tirncs.)

BLUEFIELD. w VA, Get 1o.-Ihe
death OF young woman hitherto I'M
known in this city Wednesday evening
turned out to be Miss Julia Asberry, Of
Dryden, Wise county, Va. It was believed
at first in many quarters that it was a
case OF suicide, but it is now thought to
have been due to the practice of abortion.
She claimed that she came 10 Bluefeld
at the suggestion of he, brother for treat
ment. She took up board at house OF
i'll repute and acted strangely. DR.. w. w.
DIclie was called in and says that an
examination was attempted but that
blood was flowing so freely that it was
impossible for him 10 form any definite
opinion of the cause of the trouble. he
said that he used sulphuratc Of iron to
stop the bleeding
The woman was given morphine to allay
the fearful pain she was suffering. She
got easy in q. short time and the doctor
left. saving he would return again later.
He came and found the woman in much
agony ana administered morphine the
second time and left the house again.
Before leaving the woman was given six
grains of morphine and told to take one
every four hours.
About half an hour later NIrs. King,
the landlady. went TO Miss Asberry's
room and found that she was dropping
into the last long sleep. The physician
was again summoned, but she passed
away before aid reached her.
She was about eighteen years of age,
light hair and pretty face. When coming
to ;Bluetield she gave her name as Bette
Moseley, from Virginia City, Va, but
nothing could be learned of such a wo
man there.
Coroner Brown was notified and a. jury
empanelled and an inquest held, but
nothing developed to show how she came
to her death.
An autopsy was held last night by Drs.
FOX, Johnson and Scott, and it was de-
vclo7ed that the woman was in deli
cate condition, and at a resetting OF the
fury to-day it was proven that an attempt
at abortion had been made by some one,
and the Jury brought in a verdict recon-
mending that Dr. W. ". Diclie be held
for further investigation.
DIR. Diclde left town this morning ana
nothing has yet been heard from nm;
Warrants have been issued for his arrest
and the county is being searched
DIR Diclyie has figured conspicuously IN
several cases of this nature. He was SEN
fenced to five years in the penitentiary
about a wear go for the murder of Mrs
Ca1,raa in this city. but owing to his ad-
vanced age was granted rehearihs ana
acquitted. He is about sixty years OF age
and lived in Richmond for many years
