CAPT. WYNNE RESIGNED
TELEGRAPHED TO CoMMANDANT
ELLIOTT TODAY.
Resignation Will Not Be Accepted
Until It is Received in
Regular Form

Gen. Elliott, comma ndant of the Marine
Corps, received telegram this morning
from Capt Robert F. Wynne of the Marine
Corps, rendering his resignation as an Of
fcer of that branch Of the service. Gen.
Elliott submitted the telegram to Acting
Secretary Newberry of the Navy Depart
ment, and it was decided to pay no atten-
ton to 1t in its present shape 1t is stated
that the resignation was sent before the
receipt of the official letter of the Navy De-
partment advising Capt. Wynne that he
had been convicted by court-martial of Sc
rious offenses and sentenced to dismissal,
but that by direction of the President the
execution of the sentence, which had been
approved, had been suspended In order to
permit him to resign should he desire to
do so, that clemency being shown on the
recommendation of the Secretary Of the
Navy because of his services and the provo
cation which led to his insubordinate con-
duct.
Capt. Wynne is now a prisoner on board
the battleship Alabama at the New
York navy yard, it is not stated which, and
could not have received the letter from the
Navy Department al the time he sent his
resignation 1t is therefore assumed that
he based his action on newspaper reports
or upon unofficial information from Il
friend. AT the department it is held that
his action in resigning under the c.rcum-
stances was irregular and premature, his
status being that of a prisoner awaiting
the result of his trial. There is no doubt,
however that when Capt. Wynne's res'g
nation is officially received in regular form
In response to the department letter that
1t will be promptly accepted and further
proceedings dropped.
Expected Retirement
According to the New York Herald, 1t
was great disappointment to Capt.
Wynne that he was compelled to resign,
as he had received assurances that the
President would modify the Secretary's rec
on,mendation and permit him to go before
retiring board, that If 1t was found
that he was suffering from disabilities con-
tracted in the service he could be retired
on three-Quarters pay.
Before his father. Mr.. Robert ]. Wynne.
consul general in London, sailed for Eu-
rope on Saturday he told the captain not
to resign in any circumstances, as he was
sure the President would not present that
as the only alternative to dismissal from
the service. 1t Is said that while Mr.
Wynne was In Washington he Interested
his former associates in the cabinet and
other prominent public men in the case.
His relations with the President have been
very friendly, and, while he received no
direct promise from the President, he was
encouraged in the belief that his son would
be permitted to go before retiring board

REFUSED TO ACCUSE.
Pistoled Man Would Not Tell Who
Shot Him.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-The police found
another mystery on their hands early today
to add to the chapter of murders. Thomas
Petto was found about o'clock this morn
Ing with pistol wound in his back, lying
on the sidewalk on Forsythe street. one of
the most densely populated sections OF the
city He was alive and conscious but when
the police asked him the name of his as
sailant he pleaded the east side code of
honor" which prohibits man assaulted
from giving any information to the authori-
ties. Declaring he would get even" and
that there had been mo trouble in which
the police had any interest" He was taken
to a hospital and a few moments later he
died.
The Petto case illustrates one of the most
peculiar phases of criminal life on the east
SIDE where gangs are in continual feud
and where murders are frequent but the
slayers seldom caught because of the re-
fusal of persons assaulted to assist the po-
lice
