CONFUSION ON THE HEAD
Bullet Wound High Above Right Ear
Strengthening Theory 1t Was
Made by Another.

Washington, Sept. 14.-When the
body of Lieutenant James N. Sutton,
Jr., the young marine officer who died
about two years ago at Annapolis, was
exhumed at Arlington cemetery yes
terday afternoon, an autopsy perform
ed by physicians representing the
navy department and Sutton's mother
disclosed the fact that no bones were
broken, although a confusion was
found over the right eye.
Mrs. Sutton had contended that her
sons arm had been broken in the
fight which preceded his death and
that this being the case, the shot
which ended his life could not have
been selfinflicted
Bullet wound High.
DR.. George Tully Vaughan of this
city, who represented Mrs Sutton at
the autopsy, said that the bullet wound
which caused his death was three
inches above the right ear and was
clean cut. There was no indication
that the hair and scalp had been burn
ed by powder. Surgeon Spear, who
represented the navy department, de-
clined TO make a statement, saying he
intended to report direct to the navy
department
Attorney Van Dyke, associate coun-
sci for Mrs. Sutton, said he was con-
vinced that the shot had been fired at
least five feet from the officers head
and that the wound showed conclusive
ly that it was physical impossibility
for Sutton to have fired the Shot
While the Sutton attorneys are said
to have made their plans for the nexl
step in the case, they declined to dis
