to negative the idea that Lieut.. SUIT

cized the composition of the original
board of inquest of which the recorder
was Lieut.. E. s. Willing for whose
dereliction. Mr. Davis said, Lieut..
sutton still might be alive. The board

brand of suicide, thus denying him
Christian burial according to family
faith and consigning him to an UNI
