body into shrubbery. and with such
care as was possible in the darkness
he buried the body in shallow trench.
Governing 1t with earth and leaves.
The autopsy emphasizes the brutal
ity of the crime. The body was in
pitiable condition-the head. face,
chest, arms and hands were covered
with bruises and scratches. The
bone that supports the tongue, the
hyoid. was fractured, when the assail-
ant choked his victim; the body was
covered with blood, and the hair was
full of dirt and leaves, indicating that
the body was dragged some distance,
probably by the feet. Part of the
clothing had been removed.
Girl Struggled Desperately.

and who was pres mt in the office Oh
the officer of the guard when Lieuten-
ant Utley reported to Lieutenant
Beyan, according to the testimony
that Lieute nant Sutton was creating
trouble in the camp.
The third witness is a Washington
ian, whose name was not divulged at
the session OF che court today. The
first of Mrs. Sutton's letters was 10
Swartz, and asked if he was a frrsnd
of her son. TO whom she could write
to with confidence as to his sympathy.
A second letter to -dr. Swartz gave
version of what occurred on the night
of Lieutenant Sutton's de- th, and also
detailed numerous wounds on the face
and head which Mrs Sutton wrote
had been inflicted upon her son.
Called Them Wild Beasts.
She referred frequently to those
who were with Lieutenant Sutton
when he was shot as wild beasts.
In this letter the name of Miss May
f Stewart, of Pittsburg. was mention
ed. Mrs. Sutton asked Swartz to find
out from Osterman and the others
who were in the automobile with SUIT
ton on the fatal night what had act
ually happened preceding the Shoot
ing.
A third letter to Svartz gave rurth-
er details of what Mrs Sutton had,
shs said, discovered. She referred 10
a letter from her son in which he de-
scribed his fellow officers as lew
cadss and referred in words OF bitter
criticism to Lieutenants Adams. Os-
t. rman. and others. Mrs. Sutton wept
quietly while her. own words as TO
her sons death were being read.
After the reading Of the letters,
the n aiding of the record of Saturday
showed Mrs. Sutton TO have been ask
ca many questions as to evidence IN

paign between Judge Mann and Mr..
Tucker has had a ndency TO cause

and that the Republicans have a iine
onportunlty 10 win in the general cleo
tion. or al least make A substantial
cut in the Democratic majority. To aid
tn Virginia Republicans In taking ad-
vantage of what he supposes TO be
serious strife between Democratic
factions, the President has promised

The Finest Kind Of Courage.

A Washington dispatch published in
the Sun yests rday recorded an ex-
hibition Of courage by an American
naval officer which calls for prompt
reconition and hearty commentator.
Ensign Keuneh Whiting. commanding
the submarine Porpoise at Cavite,
Manila Bay. risked his life in order to
test a method OF escape from a sub
marine vessel which has been dis
abled and sunk. Recent disasters In
the french and British navies have
emphasized the extreme peril &c which
the men serving on submarine are
exposed When their vessel goes
down the crew faces almost certain
death from suffocation. Ensign Whit
ing has demonstrated that one method
of escape is practicable, out not for
the whole crew. One man must be
sacrificed. for no man can get out of
the death trap without assistance.
The man who remains after the
others have been literally shot
through the torpedo tube is doomed
to death. There is no way out for
him.
The London Telegraph. comment
ing on the large number OF sub
marines engaged in the recent maneu
vers OF the British navey, directed
attention TO the fact that service on
these vessels IS so hazardous that no
man without the steadlest kind Of
courage could be expected to under
take IT, Yet. although several sub
marines in foreign navits. including
that Of Great Britain. have gone TO
the bottom and all the crews have
persisted. the submarines Of the Brit
ish Navy and other nayies are fully
manned today. This is conclusive
proof that the twentieth century man
is as courageous as ever men were
in any stage Of history. And OF all
the virtues with which mankind Is
endowed none is finer, none mere ad-
mirabie than the calm. resolute cour-
age which unfaIteringly faces deata
in one Of its most horrible forms.
And what could be more thrilling
than the sacrsace and answering de-
vOilon 20 duty exhibited bv the man
whose lot II Is TO remain in the
submarine untsi all his companions
have gone. TO perish alone. after he
has aided the rest cf the crew TO eS-
cape. The man who is wiling TO
face this peril has courage tn its
ncbleSt and most exalted form

CITY BADLY IN NEED OF AN
EMERGENCY HOSPITAL.

Newport News needs an emergency
hospital. and needs it badly. THIS
fac, Is demonstrate every time there
Is n shooting or cutting scrape or an
accident OF any kind in the city. only
a day or two ago a negro who haa
been dangerously. probably fataiiy
wounded. spent the night on bench

Ing as attendants one or two negro
men who were considerable enough TO
stav bv his side and attend to his
wants during the night. II is true
that the man was an itin.ra long
shoreman and negro. and possibly
mo- an especially desirable character
but he was human and. desperately
wounded. He should have had hos2i-
tai attention even II he had been
murderer.
Under the existing conditions the
authorities have no facilities for hand
hing snch cases. If man or woman
is nurt or stricken with sudden Illness

cffer In the way Of accommodations
for the patient IS a bare bench In

are two rooms generally known as

foons, with TRUSTEES" as nurses.

be. though Il is a Tar cry from the
Hospital department" to a hospital.
and even this place is not accessible
at all times. and only principals or
witne sses in cases that have been be-
fore the police cours properly belong
In the jail The police department
has no authority over the jail and can
put no one in II without permission.
The question OF what the city shouid
do 10 provide facilities for dealing
with emergency cases is one that the
municipal authorities mus. decide. Per
haps the city cannot afford to squip
and maintain a hospital OF its own.
but II this cannot be done very prob
ably arrangements could be made by
which enc OF the private hospitals
would handle emergency cases.

are not conducted upon endowment
