and then shot to conceal the crime
which, he said, Mr.. Davis had charged
by iniputation at least.
lie said Mrs. sutton had access to
all sources of information before she
charged that her son had been beat
en- to death. OF such death his body.
Mr.. Birney declared, bore not a single
evidence but she did not avail herself
of these sources of information.
He attacked Mrs. Sutton and de-
clared she has pursued his client ana
his associates with malevolent hatred
and not with evidence of maternal sor-
row inspiring her Mr.. Birney placed
Lieut.. Sutton in the attitude of a
whipped coward. He pictured the now
famous automobile ride and the two
fist fights that followed it as they have
been described in the testimony of the
lleutenants' witnesses and declared
Sutton went to camp and armed nim-
self with the deliberate purpose of do
ing murder.
Again branding Sutton as a rank
coward, Mr.. Birney strongly praised
Lieut.. Adams for his bravery when, as
he testified, Lieut.. Sutton fired upon
him. The speaker bitterly assailed the
presentation of the case made by Mr..
Davis this morning and said he could
not understand why Lieut.. Adams had
been selected from among so many
others to bear the charge of murder.
The evidence of crime in this case,
Mr.. Birney said. rested entirely upon
Mrs. Sutton's ''preternatural vision"
and upon the flimsy evidence of DR..
Schaffer, the expert on gunshot
wounds, which he said had been so
strongly cOntradicted as to give it
weight only in the mind of an imbecile.
That Lieut.. Sutton shot himself acct
dentally while drawing the pistol from
under him, he said, was quite impossi-
bic Either he deliberately committed
suicide or shot himself while attempt
ing to shoot some one else who was
above him, perhaps upon him, and this
Mr.. Birney declared to be suicide. Mr..
Birney minimized the Importance of
what went with Lieut.. Sutton's smaller
pistol after the shooting and said the
falling white-shirted figure referred by
to Sergt. Todd might well have been

self came here he said, with every
good wish for and with willingness to
help Mrs. Sutton and Mrs. Parker to
bring every evidence possible before
the court. They had not, as they
should have done, given him all the
facts and evidence in their possession,
but this he blamed not on the ladies
named, but on their counsel. On the
other hand the defendants had given
him every assistance in the presenta-
ton of the facts. Major Leonard also
protested against Mr. Davis having
branded Sergt. DeHart as perjurer. He
said again he could see no reason for
offering any argument.
At the judge advocates request the
court listened to the reading of the
record of today and then Commander
Hood, president of the court, declared
the inquiry closed. The findings Of
the court will be forwarded to Wash
ington and announced from there.

HENDRIX DEFEATS P. & s.
DOCTORS OF LITTLE ROCK LOSE GAME BY ENORMOUS SCORE
 OF 79 TO 0.

Overwhelming the visitors at every stage of the game, puncturing their defense as if it were made of card board and circling their ends almost without hindrance, Hendrix college defeated the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Little Rock here Satur- day afternoon, 79 to 0. The game started with Hendrix making touch down on the first down. Hendrix was held for downs only twice and the To- cal collegians' goal was never threat ened, the ball, in fact, never crossing into Hendrix territory. Only 15-min- ute halves were played, but the visi- tors were knocked out so often that it was nearly dark before the game which began at o'clock, was finished. With only one substitute, the doctors were forced to accept Hendrix subs on their team in the latter part of the second half.
 A total of 14 touchdowns were made, Tate getting one, Scott three, Hanesworth four and Shirey six. Nine goals were kicked in the II chances.

NORMALITES WIN GAME
DEFEATED CUMBERLAND COL LEGE, GAINESVILLE, SAT
 URDAY, 10 TO 5.

The State Normal won the opening game of the intercollegiate series from Cumberland college at Clarksville Sat urday by score of 10 to 5.
 The Normal displayed superior team work and showed the results of their superior experience. Cumber- land played brilliantly at times, but constant fumbling prevented their gaining consistently and they did not use the best judgment in directing their attack.
 Weishaupt's work, both on offense and defense, was the most remarkable feature of the game. He lowered head and shoulders above everyone else on either team. Meisenheimer and Bush also did good work for Cumberland. Ray, Abney, Short and Moore were the Normals stars.

Norwich bulletin., 1909-12-17

in an uptown hotel, there followed the third arrest in the case-that of Mrs. Mary w. Snead, Mrs. Martins sister, and also the aunt and mother-in-law of Ocey Snead. She was taken from her lodgings in New York, chareed with being a fugitive from justice from New Jersey, where a warrant similar to that issued against her sis ter was sworn out today, charging murder.
 Mrs. Martin Arraigned in Tombs Court
 Mrs Martin was arraigned this morning in the Tombs police court and committed to the Tombs prison, until the arrival of extradition papers for Governor Fort of New Jersey. One of the many curious condolences in curious case is that Governor Forts son, Franklin Fort. Jr., is her coun- sel. During her examination she said as little as possible and did not in- dicate whether she would resist extra dition. Mrs. Martin is 64 years of age and feeble of body, though reso- lute and alert of mind. She showed today the same marked aversion to lifting the heavy black veil which com- pletely concealed her features. as characterized her sister, Virginia Wardlaw, during the latter's examina- tion at East Orange some days ago.
 Mrs. Snead Photographed.
 When taken to police headquarters today, Mrs. Mary Snead was more erect in her bearing than Mrs. Martin, but equally reticent. Mrs. Martin pitiful weakness saved her the indig- nity of being measured and photo- graphed. but Mrs. Snead escaped none of the humiliating details of such po- lice routine. She will be examined tomorrow in the Tombs police court to determine whether she can justly be held for extradition.
 Sufficient Evidence Found.
 The three notes found yesterday among Mrs. Martins effects, all sim liar in handwriting and wording to the suicide note found pinned to Ocey Snead's clothes beside the bathtub in which she was drowned were deemed sufficient evidence against Mrs. Mar tin. The point made against Mrs. Snead is that she was a party with Miss Wardlaw to renting the unfur- nished house in East Orange in which Mrs. .Ocey Snead was found dead.
