.SUTTONS AND DAVIS
GO ON WITH FIGHT.
Formal Statement Issued by
Attorney Tells of Plans
For Inquiry.

Mrs. James n. Sutton and her at
t0rneys VIII not withdraw from the
fight to clear Lieutenant Sutton's name
o. its suicide stain, despite the adverse
lIling Of the Navy Department. which
decided that the inquiry board did not
overstep its authority when it decreed,
during the hearing, that the mother
must be regarded as a complainant and
Sutton's brother officers as defendants
throughout the investigation
Although this decision was decidedly
distastefm to Mrs. Sutton and her law
yers, who are not attempting to prose
cute any one, Attorney Henry Z. Davis
indicated that everybody would con-
tinue in the investigation as heretofore
when he issued the following statement
This afternoon.
Ny interview Of Friday last in rela-
ton 10 the Sutton case with the judge
advocate general Of the navy was had
at his own courteous suggestion, on
which I readily acJed. Since that inter
view, / have received the letter of the
Navy Department in response TO mine
Of July =, which letter assures me that
me case VIII 90 on as II began This
makes IL my duty TO go on as ! began,
ana leaves nothing more to be said
Resumed Soon.
The inquiry at Annapolis will be re-
sumed either the latter part of this
week or the first of next, the reconven-
ing depending upon the arrival Of Lieu
tenant Utley, a material witness, now en-
route 10 Provincetown. Mass, aboard
the North Carolina. Utley viii take his
place as a defendant in common with
the other officers who were present
when Sutton died, under the naval
boards ruling.
The contention Of the department is
that the inquiry board has not changed
IT'S own status by the decision that sud
denly adjourned the case week ago.
II is held that the court Is still a court
of inquiry and not "a trial court, as
Mrs. Sutton and her attorneys believed
il had become through its ruling. II
Is this construction on the part Of the
Navy Department that accounts for the
assurance that the case will go on as
it began the idea conveyed being that
the investigation viii be Of the fullest
kind and that it is not obligatory upon
Mrs Sutton 70 directly accuse any one
of her sons death.
Point of Difference.
This is the point upon winch the judge
advocate of the inquiry, sne board and
The Suttons originally differed, and
which at one time caused a threatened
withdrawal Of MIR. Davis from the case
He held that his clients had suddenly
been placed in the role of accusers. a
role Ihey. were not prepared 10 assume
ana which they did not intend TO oc-
cupy.
Regardless OF the two constructions
put upon the inquiry courts abrupt de-
cision, the case VIII have an additional
Interest when il Is resumed. Neither
Mrs. Sutton, the mother, nor the young
Eeutenants who Witnessed sutton death
after the campus night, can appear as
disinteTested as formerly, because the
court has impressively informed them
that. while not under direct charges, the
officers are defendant pa-ttes now, en-
titled 70 counsel, and that Mrs. Sutton
is an accusing party.

Hungarian admission that a substantial cash
indemnify was due for the seizure of Bosnia
