Arguments in
Sutton Inquiry
Expert, After Seeing Illustration by
Adams, Says Man Could Not
Have Shot Himself.

ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 12.-After an lnvesti-
cation extending over a period Of more
than three weeks the naval inquiry into
the death Of Lieutenant James N. Sutton,
u, s. M. c., in 1907, finished the taking
OF testimony today. Tomorrow will be
given over to the summing up and 1t is
stated by counsel that the arguments
would be completed tomorrow.
The court wiH then prepare is report
and forward It to the Navy department, as
required by the precept.
In the closing hours today Major Leon
ard, judge advocate, furnished a surprise
when he stated that he would have no
opening address to make In behalf OF the
government unless something might be said
by the attorneys or other parties to the
investigation that would require explana-
ton or reply. Commander Hood, president
Of the board, said tonight that he did not
think the court would CONSUME much time
in arriving at its conclusions.
The cross-eXamlnAtion of DR.. F.. M.
Shaeffer of Washington, D.. c., called as
an expert in gunshot wounds, was finished
this morning.
Hypothetical questions figured largely in
his examination by Mr.. Blrney, counsel
to Lieutenant Adams, and, although Adams
was again calltd upon to Illustrate the
movements of Sutton as he lay PROSTATE
on the ground on the fatal night, DR..
Shaeffer's conclusion was that under the
conditions >given, Lieutenant sutton could
not have shot himself.

ing salesman visited the detective bureau
and identified the pictures Of the children
as those Of a boy and girl he had seen on
a Wabash train coming from st Louis

is confirmatory of the Identification Of the
pictures made by the conductor and porter
OF the train.
The salesman, who made It a condition
that his name be kept secret, noticed the
children particularly, he said. Hhe man
scolded them and slapped them and they
appeared too frightened 10 talk. The
guardian asked two other pas
sengers concerning a certain Italian district
In Chicago. He wanted TO know how he
could get there from a suburban station.
He inquired about a certain car line.

X. Thaw received the news today of the
failure OF his second attempt to obtain
discharge from Matteawan with slight dis
play Of emotion. His manner indicated
that he had expected an adverse decision.
The information was brought him first
in his cell in the local jail by the Asso-
ciated Press representative.
Have you heard Justice Mills de-
cisionY' he was asked.
NO" said Thaw, without moving from
his chair.
A copy of the courts opinion was handed
to him. He read itSfapldlY and without
comment until he came to ths Following
sentence' III those beliefs constituted
delusions in his mind when he committed
the homicide they are the same now"
That's not So" he said, and marked
the lines with his pencil.
Thaw was smoking a pipe when he got
the news and as he read he puffed faster
and faster until the air about him was a
cloud Of smoke. In no other way dld he
show any perturbation.
As to his future plans he referred cues
TONERS to his attorney.
This afternoon a statement from ThAw
came indirectly from the jail physician,
Dr.. William j. Meyers, who testified at
the hearing that Thaw was sane. Thaw
told him, DR.. Meyers said. that while he
was disappointed by Justice MIlls' decision
he had no intention OF giving up the fight.
Il am determined to make my final effort
to get a trial by jury" said Thaw. Many
things have been done in this case that
would not have bean done and much has
been left undone. But 1 have been In
the hands Of my counsel throughout
Il am more sorry for my mother than
for anybody else" Thaw continued. when
l first got the news OF Justice Mills de-
cision l called my sister, Alice, on the
telephone and asked her to give my mother
the news, but to soften the shock Of IL az
much as possible"
DIT. Meyers said Thaw was taking the
decision calmly and seemed in no danger

ON FOOD
The hight Foundation of Hssith.

Proper food is the foundation Of health.
People can eat improper food for a time
until there is a sudden collapse of the
digestive organs, then all kinds Of trouble
follows.
The proper way out OF the Difficulty
is to shift to the pure. scientific food,
Grape-Nuts, for 1t rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire woman
says:
Last summer 1 was suddenly taken with
indigestion and severe stomach trouble
and could not eat food without great pain.
My stomach was so sore 1 could hardly
move about. This kept up until was
so miserable life was not worth living.
Then a friend finally. after much argu-
ment, induced me to to quit my former
diet and try Grape-Nuts.
Although had but little faith 1 COM
menced to use 1t and great was my sur
prise to find thai l could eat It without
the usual pain and distress in my stomach
so / kept on using Grape-Nuts and
soon a marked improvement was shown
for my stomach was performing It's regu-
lar work in a normal way without pain or
distress.
VERY soon the yellow coating dlsap-
peared from my tongue the duu' heaYy
feeling in my head disappeared and my
mind felt light and clear; the languid,
tired feeling left, and altogether 1 felt
as II / had been rebuilt. Strength and
weight came back rapidly and l went
back to my work with renewed ambition.

Judge Mills opinion, In the opinion of law
yers here, is one which declares that
Thaw's "delusion had become fixed and es-
tabllshed prior to the time Of his mar
riage."
II Is pointed GU that this sentence may,
II desired, prove grounds for proceedings
by Mrs. Evelyn ThAw for the annulment Of
her marriage.
Thaw was visited late today by his at
torney, Charles Morschauser, and by his
mother and his sister Alice, the former
countess of Yarmouth. Both he and his
sister seemed anxious to shield the mother
as much as possible. Thaw himself gave
the first news Of the decision to his moth
er's companion over the telephone, direct
ing that It be broken to her as gently as
possible.
Statement by Mrs. Thaw.
Late tonight Mrs. Thaw. after talking
over the situation with her son, wrote out
the following statement for the Associated
Press:
Let no one imagine for a moment on
reading this opinion Of Judge Mills that it
mears a victory for the district attorney
Of the county OF New York.

witnesses, to be stubborn facts, that would

Every prop has been taken from under

who dominates the courts Of his own judi
cial district, except when wealthy MALE
factors are under trial.
1T Is impossible to f6thom the workings
Of the human mind. and so the reason for
this totally unexpected and cruel decision
Of the trial judge must remain a mystery.
Meanwhile, my son, my daughter and /

our two homes and our regular flow Of
