in Star Chamber.
SHE DEMANDS PUBLIC HEARING

by sensational Charges which
she Made Against SONS
Comrades.

ANNAPOLIS. Aug. THE naval board
OF inquiry. which is Investigating the
death of Lieutenant James N. Sutton of
the Marine Corps. today held a two hours
session behind closed doors and adjourned
until Monday, when, It was announced,
the hearing will again be thrown open to
the public.
The secret session today was for the
purpose of examining Mrs. sutton, mother
Of Lieutenant Sutton, In regard to the
contents OF severLI letters about her sons
death, which she wrote to Colonel Charles
A. Doyen, senior officer of the Marine
Corps at the Naval academy, and others,
which the board ruled Yesterday should
be admitted in evidence. but should not
be read in open court.
Major Leonard, the Judge advocate, had
not finished interrogating Mrs. Sutton in
regard to the letters when the adjourn
ment was taken today.
She Asks Public Hearing.
Her own urgent request that the exam
%ination be continued publicly on Monday,
and that the contents Of the letters, for
the most part, be made known at that
time, was not determined
Commander Hood, presiding officer of the
board, enjoined all the Interested parties
today from discussing the letters out Of
court. 1t is known, however, that they
contain bitter and pointed allegations
against some of the young officers OF the
Marine Corps, who are now appearing as
defendants in the case.
Mrs. Sutton expressed her dlsappoint-
ment at the secret session when seen after
court today. She said that as long as
her letters were placed in evidence she
/ had M ohiartIppa 10 having fhapo pooAa
public. Henry r. Davis, her counsel, made
a strong fight to keep the letters from
being admitted when Major Leonard Of
fered them In evidence.
Prepared to Back Statements.
There may be some startling declara-
tions In the letters" said Mrs. Sutton, but
l am prepared to repeat whatever l said
and back up my statements. l do not
want any secrecy"
Besides Mrs. sutton, her daughter, Mrs.
Rose Sutton-Parker of st. Paul, remains
to be examined as a witness. Mrs. Par
ker's testimony promises to be somewhat
sensational. She is expected to tell the
results Of her personal investigation of her
brothers death, and relate pertinent con-
versations with some of the young off
GERS Of the Marine Corps. who now stand
before the court as accused by her and
her mother of completely in the shooting
OF October Is, 1907, when Lieutenant Sutton
was killed, or killed himself, as the for
mer board of inquiry determined.
There may be other witnesses called be-
fore the court completes It's work. Mr..
Davis will sum up the Sutton side Of the
case, former United States District Attor-
ney Birney of Washington will have some
thing to say In behalf of his client, Lieu
tenant Robert E. Adams of the Marine
Corps, and Major Leonard will make the
final argument for the government. The
inquiry is expected to last until near the
end Of next week.

rious, too, and so in a moment the
girls had slipped into rubbers,
coats and caps and were off
across the meadow. AS they
passed around the house Carl was
going UP the front steps, and they
laughingly informed him that
they were going to find a pot of
gold.
The rainbow, with its beautiful
colors, was still clear in the sky,
and they felt that they would
surely find the foot of it when
they climbed the hill in Neighbor
Jones' pasture lot and passed be-
hind the tree there which seemed
to hide the exact location of the
pot of gold.
They met one or two of their
fathers friends, who wondered at
the excited manner of the girls
and questioned them concerning
their destination, for it was grow
ing nearly time for the sun to set
and rather too late for them to
be roaming in lonely fields.
Finally the girls got to the tree
and were amazed to see that the
rainbow did not end there, but
Just on top of the hill across the
little brook. They started off
again, chatting busily of the
things they would do with their
money when they found the pot
of gold-what they would get for
mother, what Carl would like,
whether or not father would like
a gold watch or a new riding
horse, and so OH

Wouldn't it be fun to find it and
bring it home to papa and

LET me see what it does say"
said Jessie, taking the book and
reading the page. Il think it is
only fairy tale, Mary, and there
is really no pot there
The rain had been beating
down with swift, sudden show
er, which had caused both the
girls to scurry into the house, and
now they looked up to see the
sun shining out from behind the
clouds and all the face of nature
wore beatihc smile. While they
looked Mary cried, ooh, Jessie,
look, quick; there is a rainbow
now, and the end is just on the
other side of the hill in Farmer
Jones meadow! Let lis go and
see if the pot OF gold is really
there"
Jessie, who thought the grass
rather yet and was conscious of
a neglected practice time, offered
some objections, but they were
promptly overruled by Mary,
whose heart was set on this pot
of money. Jessie was a little GU
