James N. Sutton, Jr., U. $. M. c. The attraction was the summing up by Henry M. Davis, the counsel for Mrs Sutton, and by A. E. Birney. counsel for Lieutenant Ad- ans, and possibly something from Ma jor Henry Leonard, judge advocate. MT. Davis argument did lead the judge advocate to speak, though brief ly, and what he said was not in the nature of argument touching the case.
 The members of the court were all in blue undress uniform. which gave the scene in the courtroom a more for mai air than when, as has been the case hitherto, they wore white duck. Mrs. Sutton was not at the afternoon session. It was explained privately that she had been so affected by the touching references of MT. Davis to her lost son that she did not feel able to appear in the afternoon. Mrs. Rose Sutton Parker, her daughter, was present throughout the proceedings, however, and followed the arguments with the closest attention, as had her mother those of MT. Davis in the morning.
 The court will sit tomorrow in pri- vate for the purpose of discussing the findings which when reached will be forwarded to the navy department at Washington, whence the announce ment of the result of the inquiry will be made. The judge advocate said he would request that this announce ment be made at the earliest possible moment.
 Mrs. Sutton said tonight that if the findings of the court of inquiry de- clare as did those of the former board of inquest, that her son committed sui eide, she will carry the case still fur ther, though in just what way she is not now prepared to say
