SUTTON FINDINGS.
Met His Death BY Accident and at His
Own Hand.

Washington, D. O., Aug. l7-Maior
Harry Leonard Of the marine corps, judge
advocate Of the Sutton court Of inquiry
in Annapolis, arrived in Washington
last evening from Annapolis with the
findings Of the court and the record Of
the proceedings. These he delivered to
the acting secretary Of the navy to-day,
and now the navy department win re-
view the case.
Of course there Is no way 81 knowing
exactly what the Sutton court has found,
as officers composing it are bound to
secrecy, but there is reason to believe
that the verdict will be that Sutton came
to his death by his own hand and BY
accident It is considered possible that
the court has further decided that he
shot himsaN while trying to shoot an.

1t was learned yesterday that unless
the secretary Of navy so directs, there
viii be no courtmartial Of the other
