Last Desire Is to Prove Record

Spotless

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 1s.-Passengers
on a Southern railway train wrecked
near Bristol, Va. last evening arrived
here tonight. bringing details of the
bravery of Engineer Samuel Bush of
Knoxville, Tenn. who died today as a
result of his injuries.
Bush was painfully working his way
out of the wreck of his engine, scalded
and frightfully bruised, when the few
passengers who retained their senses
dug into the mass of twisted and burn
ing iron to meet him.
Bush asked for a last look at his old
engine.
When the passengers offered him
whisky he. begged them to look after
the comfort of the passengers. Told
that no passengers had been injured.
he said: That's good. But before 1
take this whisky / want you men TO
smell my breath and testify, If need be.
that / had not been drinking when this
happened. All an engineer has is his
record, and he can not afford to have
anything against that.
And Engineer Bush went out on his
last run with his record spotless. He
had been in the service of the Southern
Pacific for more than 80 years and left
an estate value dat 100000.

Fred Carr and Joe Willis, two youth

The announcement of the robbery,
pronounced by the cracking fusillade

pockets bulging with gold, sprang into
an automobile and were whirled away,
converted the little mission town of
Santa Clara into veritable armed
camp. From door to door the cry ran

Scores Officers Acts

Davis declared the fights immediate
fought by Sutton but by the others,
who have on the witness stand ac-
knowledged bitter enmity against SUIT
ton. He pointed to the marked differ
ences in the testimony of Lieutenants
Adams, Utley Osterman and others and
declared Sutton, after going to camp
and arming himself for self-protection,
returned to the scene of the fight mere
ly to recover his clothing.
He ridiculed the idea that Sutton
killed himself because he thought he
killed Rocker, saying the evidence
showed there was no appreciable inter-
val between the exclamation He has
killed Rocker" and the firing of the
fatal shot. Davis said that parts of
Lieutenant Adams testimony We're pure
inventions, and pointed out conflicts in
the testimony of other of the young
lieutenants.
There was, Davis declared, a manifest
conspiracy of suppression and falsehood
to help the living and blacken the dead.
The only thing sought to be established
by the witnesses involved was the sui
eide of Sutton, which Davis said the
evidence wholly failed to show.
He maintained it was not his place to
point out the hand that killed Sutton,
that function belonging to the court,
but simply to show he did not kill him

touching the case.
Mother Is Absent

Mrs. Sutton was not present at the
afternoon session. 1t was explained
privately that she had been so af-
fected by the touching reference of
Davis to her lost son that she did not
feel able to appear in the afternoon.
Mrs. Rose Sutton Parker, her daugh-
ter. was present throughout the pro-
ceedings, however.
The court Will sit tomorrow in pri-
vate for the purpose of discussing the
findings, which will, when reached, be
forwarded to the navy department at
Washington, whence the announcement
of the result of the inquiry will be
made.
Mrs. Sutton said tonight that If the
findings of the court declare. as did
those of the former board. that her
son committed suicide, she will carry
the case still further

Criticises First Inquiry

Davis criticised the composition of
the original board of inquiry, of which
the recorder was Lieutenant E. S. Will
ling. but for whose dereliction, Davis
said, Lieutenant Sutton might still be
alive. The board of inquest. he said,
acted with indecent haste, with no no.
tice to Lieutenant Suttons family, plac-
ing upon him the brand of suicide, thus
to the family faith and consigning him
to an unconsecrated grave. stripping
his parents of hope Of a reunion with
him hereafter and condemning him, as
they were compelled to believe, to eter-
nal punishment
