But everybody he called was down

tied up with sordid business problems

Alter he'd called pretty much every

SISTER ACTS As DETECTIVE
GATHERED EVIDENCE WHICH IN.
DucED NAVY TO ACT.
Chauffeur Who Drove Party on Fatal
Night to Testify This Time
Theory Of a Duel Grows.

Annapolis, Maryland. - Because
the navy department believes the tes-
timony gathered by a woman, unaided,
with every circumstance against her,
throws more light on the case than
did the secret hearing before the
board of inquest, a court Of inquiry
began sittings at the United States
naval academy to determine the exact
manner in which Lieut.. James N. SUIT
ton of the marine corps met his death
on the grounds of that institution on
the night of October ~, 1907.
The story Of Mrs. Rose Sutton Par
ker, a sister Of the dead officer, who
was called a suicide by the naval
board, is the most important part OF
the case.
Then she and her mother entered
the courtroom Mrs. Parker carried
with her a bundle Of papers compris-
ing all she knows about the circum-
stances Of her brothers death, and
from this report questions will be put
that may clear up the mystery. Both
women declared hopefully that the
stigma Of suicide would be removed
from the dead officers name.
More to Be Learned Of Shooting.
The court is not bound by the rules
Of evidence that ordinarily obtain in
civil tribunals.
The government has expressed its
desire to get every fact that might
help to determine the manner of
young Sutton's death and the respon-
sibility therefor. Sutton's friends also
have urged that every bit of evidence
that can have a possible bearing on
the case be brought out.
There are many points in the evil
dence given by participants in the
case that preceded the shooting Of
Lieut.. Sutton and were accepted by
the board of inquest about which the
young mans mother and sister say
more is to be learned.
Why did Sutton and his brother Of
GERS quarrel that night? The story
told by the officers is that a row start
ed In a discussion Of where the auto
mobile, which had been taken from
the Carvel hall, had been stopped.
The Suttons declare this was too
trivial a thing to start a quarrel, and
Mrs. Sutton points to some letters
which were written to her brother, in
which a duel is mentioned. Then, too,
w. I. Owens, the cauffeur, who drove
the party to the barracks, and who
overheard the quarrel in the machine,
but who was not called at the former
hearing, will testify.
After the quarrel, the officers al
lege, Sutton ran into his tent, secured
two revolvers and started the row
again. The Suttons say there was not
time enough for this to happen be-
tween the time the men left the auto
mobile and the time Sutton's dead
body was found by Col. Charles c.
Doyen. The officers also say that,
during the fight, some one took from
Sutton one of his revolvers and gave
It to Sergt. De Hart. De Hart does
not remember who gave it to him.
The officers say further that after
this Sutton was thrown to his face,
an, while he was held there, some n
remarked he had killed Lieut.. Rocker,
and then he pulled his arm from un-
der his PROSTATE body and fired a shot
into his own brain.
