DECATUR IN HIS OWN DEFENSE
Midshipman DensSs All Specifications
In HasinE charges Fned
Asaistrt Him.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. Jan. u.-The last
stages. except the argument OF counsel and
OF the judge advocate were completed this
afternoon i'm the case of Midshipmsn
Stephen Decatur. ir., charged before n
naval court-martial with hazing The ac-
cused occupied the stand for about three
quarters of an hour and his testimony is
regarded as having strengthened his case
Decatur was questioned as TO the facts
in regard to all the specifications alleged
against him. He denied sending Fourth
Classman Chester s. Roberts TO a room in
which were upper classmen to deliver the
message: IF she had been a dog do you
think she would have done 1t I'm this way"
He also denied ever having ordered
Charles c. w. Mailiey TO bring him break
fast.
The accused was the next examined as
to the facts alleged In the last specifca-
ton. which was the only Que under the act
of 1904 and in which Encouraging or coun-
tenancing hazing'' Is made a dismissal Of
Tense Inasmuch as Decatur had already
been examined upon this incident In his
former trial and he'd made admissions
which caused the academy authorities to
believe that his conviction on this specihca-
ton was probable. the accused started with
handicap. Decaturisaid:
II told Church TO report to my room be-
cause he had laughed in ranks and 1
wished to reprimandt him. When he came
was standing in ole other mart of the
room talking to Number of midshipmen
and | did not take any particular notice Of
him. / do not remember that / said any
thing to him at all, but l remember that
some one said something to him about get
ting in the closet. Church went into the
closet. but ! do not know what he did in
there. He stayed there about three min
utes."
Before adjourning the judge advocate and
the counsel for the defense announced that
they would produce no more witnesses.
There is good reason for the belief that
Nidshipman Worth W. Foster of New AL
bany, n. Y, and Petersen B. Marzoni OF
Pensacola Fla, have been found guilty OF
hazing
Both of the midshipmen belong to the
, first class and would have graduated on
February l2. They are regarded as good
students in general and each had a spe-
cialty. Foster devised an Improvement in
the form of war nose used on torpedoes
and Marzoni is considered the best lnguIst
