Annapolis, Mr., Aug. 6.-The ap-
pearance on the witness stand today
of Mrs. Sutton, mother of Lieut..
Sutton, of Portland, Ore, whose
death is being investigated by the
Naval board of inquiry, here, was the
signal for heated controversy be-
tween the lawyers on all sides,
which ended in a prolonged confer
ence of members of the board behind
closed doors and brought the days
proceedings to an abrupt ending.
Several witnesses had been dispos-
ed of during the day when Judge
Advocate Leonard called Mrs. Sut-
ton to the stand. Before proceeding
with her examination Major Leonard
offered for Identification and to be
read in evidence, several letters
which he said Mrs. Sutton had writ,
ten containing serious and delicate
charges against the young officers of
the marine corps who appeared as
,:efendants.
@'The United States has been put
to a large expense in bringing wit
1nesses here from all parts of the
world" said Major Leonard. .and it
becomes my painful duty to- offer
those letters in evidence in order to
enlighten the court as fully as pos
sible on all matters, pertaining to
tn iss inquiry <S>''
Henry E. Davis, counsel for Mrs
Sutton, made strenuous objection on
the ground that Mrs. Sutton was not
present to make an accusation and
that the letters in question were ir-
revelent to the inquiry of a personal
and incompetent nature as evidence.
