scHLgY COURT EVIDENCE ENDS
After Correction Of Testimony, Mon
day, Arguments Begin.


washington. Nov 2.--The Schley
court of inquiry adjourned at 12.45
o'clock yesterday. when Judge Advo-
cate Lemly announced that he had no
more witnesses to call, aud Mr.. Ray
ner. following him. said that no wit
nesses would be summoned on behalf
of Admiral Schley in sur-rebuttal. For
moment it appeared as ii the now
famous case was about to reach sud.
den conclusion. But this delusion was
soon dissipated by the announcement
on the part of Captain Lemly that he
might ask to be allowed to bring in
one more witness on Monday and
also a statement from Mr.. Rayner
that Admiral Schley himself would de-
sire to return to the stand on Monday
to correct errors In his evidence as
officially reported.
The only witness that the Judge adj
vocate still has in mind is Lieutenant
Strauss, and Captain Lemly said that
If the lieutenants attendance could
be secured he would detain the court
for a short time only. Captain Sigs-
bee also will return to the stand on
MONDAY to make corrections In the
testimony given by him.
These details completed, the argu-
ment of counsel will begin. and then
counsel and the public will withdraw
and leave the court to its delibera-
lions. The task before the court is
not a light one, and 1t may be weeks
before the final verdict will be
reached.
Yesterdays witnesses were Mr.. Syl-
vester Scovel, a former newspaper
correspondent, who saw service in the
Cuban campaign; Lieutenant Hood,
who commanded the Hawk during the
Spanish war, and also a number of
officers, who were heard Thursday,
and who returned to The stand to cor
rect testimony. The court held only
one session and adjourned over until
Monday.
