Moscow, Jan. S.-It is impossible to
ascertain the total losses resulting
from the 1O-days revolt, as many of
the dead and wounded have not been
reported to the hospitals, public or
private, and some of the bodies were
incinerated. But a personal tour Of the
hospitals shows that there were 548
killed and 1865 wounded. Among the

Deoatur's Trial is a Question Of Ve

TIE COURT WILL DECIDE

Annapolis, Nd. Jan. 3.-The court
martial proceedings against Midship
man stephen Decatur, OF Portsmouth
n. H., charged with the hazing Of Mid
shipman Isaac N. McCrary, Of Texas
and Gaylord Church, Of Pennsylvania
both fourth class men, we're continued
here. Decatur going on the stand In hi
own defense
Decatur denied absolutely all th'
statements Of McCrary and Churcf
which incriminated him. The court Is
thus left to decide between the testi-
mony under oath of the upper and
lower class men. Other witnesses were
Atifi7oduced to bear out the defense
theory that the prosecuting witnesses
were mistaken as to who had hazed
them.
BlcCrary had testified positively dur
ing the first days session that Decatur
had ordered him on his head and to
do Number II" and Church also said
that Decatur had given him similar
order.
The cross-examination brought from
Decatur the admission that he had or
dered Church to report to his room,
and that some one there had compelled
the under elassman to perform Num-
Der s." AS Decatur was the ranking
cadet officer present, the prosecution
viii contend that this fact is sufficient
to fix the offense Of hazing or him.
The defense contends that under the
charge. as we'll as the act Of 1874, the
mere countenancing of or allowing
lhazing is insufficient and that active
participation must be proved.
Finally Decatur was asked If he had
over hazed either McCrary or Church,
hnd his answer was a positive mega
live
q The most interesting testimony, next
to that Of Decatur, was given by Mid
shipman F. B. Marzoni. of Florida, who
is also under charges for hazing and
will be tried shortly. Marzoni was the
first witness, other than the fourth
class men, to state that any fourth
class men were in the room with De-
catur, and in that particular his testi-
mony corroborated that of Midship-
man Church. He said that while he was
in Decaturs room, Church had come
in and had been told to do Number
16" IN the closet and afterward had
been told to STOP He could not remem-
Der who had given the order but was
~ tr
dence was in strong contradiction to
other evidence produced by the de-
fense, as he said that q person could
easily be in the closet undergoing haz-
ing and not be seen, while all the
others said that II a person had been
bazed in the closet while they were in
'e room they would certainly have
him. Marzoni mentioned Mid
.rqen Graves and Lowe, of the first
!, alad Cox, Nagle and Keller, Of the
nd, as being in the room during the |
ag Of ChGTch. The first two named

derstood.
atur's case is attracting great at

to save him. He is a greaf-grand-
Of the famous naval hero af the
