which she laid before Secretary Meyer
This. then. originally was the store
wall against which mother and daughter
began an onslaught. prompted by love
of the dead and by family PRIDE ana d
belief that a Sutton would not take MS
own life. As you shall soon see, through
the mothers own words, II has been q
struggle that would have tried the soul
of anv man. Believing, rightfully OF
yrongfully. that there had been traV-
estv upon justice. that there was some
thing behind II all, that this ghost OF
"a naval scandal should yet be resurrect-
ed to tell its story, they set their races

Adams, Utley and Rocker and Sergeant
de Hart. who later CANT upon the
scene. vary so widely in detail that
IT is impossible to reconcile them. All
testified. however that Sutton fired
several shots and that Adams and
Rocker were hit, the former on one
Of his fingers and the latter in the
breast, from the result of which he fell
dazed; although It subsequently trans
pired that the supposed ball did not
penetrate. and that he was uninjured.
II then appears that Lieutenant Adams
rushed in upon sutton and threw him TO
the ground, face downward. Officers
who arrived later testified that when
they arrived the fight participants were
upon the ground In a confused mass;
that two men were upon Lieutenant
Suttons back. while Adams was hold
ing up Sutton's head and punching him.
There is also agreement in the testi-
nony that when Lieutenant Bevan,
ofncer of the guard. reached the scene
and ordered Adams to desist that the
latter obeyed. Then, rising TO his feet,
it seems that he saw Rocker laying
upon the ground and exclaimed, My

Manner of Speech
Carries Conviction.

The spirit Of conviction was in her
tones. It would have made you feel as
she did. Without disclosing IN so many
words the discoveries OF this twenty-five
months battle in behalf Of a dead
brothers memory, Mrs. Parker made
one understand that her belief was not
that merely Of confident, trusting rel
alive. but that Il was backed by new
facts-evidence secured By and through
the efforts of two women who had never
had a care prior to the tragedy about
which it all centered.
She vas not asked to cell in advance
what tho new evidence will be. This
story do4s not attempt to forecast what
the developments at Annapolis this
week will be. It concerns rather the
deeper human interest theme OF the
struggle of two women against heavy
odds the imperishabl5 nature Of a
mothers love linked with the near
equal blind devotion of a PAL sister;
wounded family pride and the never
ceasing determination to clear a name
of its one blot.
And IN the aftermath Of calmer, hu-
name analysis you can hardly blame
these two.

in which he had ridden in life year
before, and sat alone near the desolate
