ing the shooting.
A third letter to SWartZ gave fur
thsr details OF what Mrs. Sutton had,
she said, discovered and referred TO
those who were with her son when he
died as "low brutes." She referred
to a letter from her son in which he
described his fellow officers as Tow

ter criticism to LieuteRants Adams,
Osterman and others. This letter de-
seribed the receipt of the news by

that her son was with her, and he
described to her the manner OF his
death, which, she wrote, he declared
was due to a shot fired by Lieuten-
ant Adams. Mrs. Sutton wept quiet
ly while her own words as 20 her
sons death were being read.
After the reading OF the letters, the
