Annapolis, Md, Oct. 15.-The almost
unanimous belief that has prevailed since
the death OF Second Lieut. James N
Sutton, jr., U. S. NJ. c., attached to the
local barracks. as the result Of bullet
wound in the head, that something other
than reports previously published was
responsible for the death of the young
officer, was fully confirmed tonight by
Capt. Charles J. Badger. superintendent
Of the Naval Academy. by which the
board which investigated the circum-
stances surrounding the tragedy was ap-
pointed.
Capt. Badger said that the board, after
one Of the most careful and exhaustive
investigations that could have been had,
was Of the opinion that Lieut.. Sutton's
death was unquestionably one Of suicide.
but he further stated In reply to a ques-
ton, that prior TO the firing Of the fatal
shot Lieut.. Sutton had quarreled with
one Of his fellow marine officers. with
whom he was returning 10 the marine
camp early Sunday morning, over a
trivial matter when the affair occurred A.:
that the quarrel developed into fstic
encounter, and that Sutton, according TO
the evidence before the board, got the
worst Of it. and this aroused his ire.
Names Not Mentioned.
He did not mention the name of the
other officer. according TO the testimony
Of several witnesses. Capt. Badger stated
that Lieut.. Sutton, after the fight, went
20 his tent, remarking that he would
shoot the whole crowd, and procured the
pistols. He returned shortly afterward,
firing revolver indiscriminately. Then.
according TO witnesses, Second Lieuts. r
r. Adams and Edward =. Rocker, as has
been previously told, took hold of Lieut..
Sutton with the purpose Of disarming
him for fear that he would shoot himself
OF some Of the other officers who had
gathered around.
L is said little attention was paid to
SuttOn's remark, the officers believing he
would cool down and the trouble would
end. Lieut.. Sutton was thrown to the
ground and disarmed. but during the
melee the revolver was discharged In
some manner and Lieut. Adams was
struck on the finger by q bullet and
Lieut.. Rocker received a slight wound
in the chest
one OF the officers in the crowd ex-
claimed, Ny God, Rocker is dead" and
while two officers stiH held him. Sutton

bullet into his brain.

informed that Mrs. Rose Sutton Parker
