ATTACKS ON DOYEN
ANGER HIS FRIENDS
Reflection Upon Marine
Commander at Sutton In
quiry Is Denied.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Aug. 22,-Friends
Of Col Charles A. Doyen, commandant
of the United States Marine Garrison
here, are very indignant over the at
tacks that have been made upon him
growing out Of the circumstances Of
the death of Lieut.. James n. Sutton,
and make specific denial of many Of
the statements rejecting upon him
which have been published
Attention is called to the fact that
Colonel Doyen had Just returned from
treatment in the Naval Hospital a few
weeks before Sutton met his death,
and that the whole affair was an
isolated instance of disorder that no
forethought of a commanding officer
could have prevented. In regard TO the
criticism that Colonel DOyen had not
sufficiently punished Sutton for mis-
previous escapade in shooting III the
camp, it IS pointed out that Colonel
Doyen had not then returned from the
hospital and had nothing to do with
the affair.
It is denied that the department has
any intention Of relieving Colonel Doyen
from his duty here or taking any other
action Of such a nature Colonel Dry
ems friends do not eonstrue the findings
Of the court of inquiry as a stricture
against him, inasmuch as Re had been
in command such short time.
