ANNAPOLIS, Nd, July 2l.-The
main questions bearing upon the mys
terry surrounding the death OF Lieut.
James N. Sutton, on the night OF DC
tober 1918, 1907, were still unan'
swered when the naval Inquiry court
met for its third session today. These
were questions 10 which the three
witnesses examined thus far had
failed to give satisfactory replies. VINO

Judge Advocate Leonard has asked
this question OF all the witnesses. Inc
Others said no officer besides sutton
had a revolver.
Another surprise came when Major
Leonard asked about Sutton's actions

Il am absolutely certain that the
shot that ended Lieut.. Suttons lie

hands," was the reply.
Did he fire the revolver
mo one else was in contact with
the revolver but Lieut.. Sutton.
Bevan testified that one night, from
two to six months prior TO the shoot

was hazy as to the details OF the row.
