AID FOR LEMLY.
Edgar May, clerk in the office of the
judge advocate general. has been de-
tailed to assist Judge Advocate General
Lemly in the preparation and handling
of papers before the court Although not
an assistant to Judge Advocate General
Lemly in technical sense he will act
ually act in that capacity so far as
handling the official papers required by
the judge advocate in the formal presen-
tation of his case.
1t is regarded as extremely probable
that an assistant attorney general VII
be assign to aid Judge Advocate Lemly
in looking after the interests OF the
navy department before the court The
names of the several officers of the de-
partment of justice have been consider
ed, it is said, but so far no final selec-
ton has been made. Capt Lemly has
expressed his willingness to conduct the
case without any assistance of the navy
department. but it is practically conclud-
ed that he should have the aid and CO.
operation of an officer of the depart
ment of justice, learned in the intricacjes
OF legal practice.
