MERIWETHER
TRIES TO
RESIGN

Annapolis, Md. Jan 17-Midshipman
Minor Meriwether, Jr.. has handed I'm his
resignation from the Naval academy. It
is said that it is not likely that IL will
be accepted, as there are now charges
pending against him and for the further
reason that he is under sentence OF con-
finement to the Academy grounds for
one year on account OF his connection with
the fight In which Midshipman James
r.. Branch received fatal injuries
The evidence Of those whom Midship-
man Minor Merwether, Jr., il accused OF
hazng was given rapidly yesterday after
the court had disposed OF the objections
offered by counsel for the defence
Six midshipmen OF the fourth class con-
nected Merriwether i'm some way with
the haZing, and the testimony was posi-
tive in four of these cases. There was
corroboratve testimony in several in
stances
The prosecution closed it's case and the
defence examined some OF its witnesses,
but did not close
Nearly all OF the fourth classmen said
that they did not consider that the eXer-
cises which had been required OF them
were I'm the least humilating; that they
had enjoyed the fun and taken n as a
part OF the natural order OF things at the
academy
However, the judge advocate brought
out the fact that they believed they would
have incurred serious consequences II they
had not done what the upper classmen
told them.
