\ The summing up of the case for the
prosecution by Judge Advocate Catliu
occupied about IL minutes and Major Cat
lin asked that the specification charging
Aud with untruthfulness be dropped.
Should Aud be found guilty Of that he
could be dismissed.
Major Leonard, summing up for the
defence. spoke for an hour and half in
part as follows:
Or Cowles has a happy little way of
walking into peoples houses and picking
up things and carrying them off. A mar
ried man, he tried to meet this young
girl of is, the daughter of a dead officer,
in a public place at Sullivan square and
promised to reward her with flowers and
candy.
A young girl and especially the daugh-
ter of a dead officer, is in the custody of
every officer of the United States navy
and her safe keeping can we'll be entrust-
ed to any officer of the navy.
IF you believe DR.. Cowles, you must
wipe out entirely the testimony of the
daughter of an admiral, the testimony of
Miss Hesler and the testimony of Lieut..
Bassett. All these testified that they I'M
derstood that DIR. Cowles was not de-
sirable guest of the hop and that any &C.
ton to be taken by the hop committee
that could be taken without offending
Mrs Cowles would be agreeable all
around.
Lieut.. Aud was called several times a
contemplate cur by Cowles. He yielded
to the impulse, and thank God he did
yield to the impulse and resented the in
suit offered him.
II don't blame Mrs. Cowles for stand
ing by her husband. but when she says
she has no animus in this affair l don't
believe that she could be credited. She

Boston, Feb. 3.-Chivalry was the de-
fence which the counsel for Paymaster
George P. Aud offered today in his
argument before the naval courtmar-
tial when he asked for the discharge
Of the young Burlington officer charged
in three counts in connection with an
alteration with DR.. Cowles of Boston
over Miss Dorothy Hesler of Evanston,
| ILL.,
Major F. S. Catln, the judge advo-
cate, asked for a finding of guilty on
| two of three counts, first for conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gentleman
and second for assault on Dr. Cowlcs
"a civilian. The third count, that of
falsehood, was eliminated.
The court heard arguments at a two
hour session this afternoon, Maj. Leon
ard, a one armed hero of the siege of
Pekin, speaking for an hour and a half
in behalf of Mr.. Aud, while Major
Gatlin the judge advocate. occupied
less than Is minutes. The court took
the matter into secret session and only
the department at Washington can
publish its findings.
DR.. A. S. Robnett, who was coupled
charges, will be tried on Monday, but
none of the evidence produced at the
Aud trial during the past three days
can be used in the trial of DR.. Robnett.
Maj. Catln spoke first claiming that
ii had been clearly shown that Mr..
Aud overstepped the bounds and that
he had assumed authority which he did
not have He did not think Mr. Aud
was justified in any Of his actions and
could not see that the evidence sub
stantiated such action.
Maj. Leonard dwelt long on the fact
that Miss Hesler, around whom the
contest seems to have conferred, was
the daughter of dead naval officer and
entitled to the protection of her faith
er's comrades. He claimed that Dr..
Cowles should not have kept her pic
ture and should not have tried to make
an appointment with her and that it
was chivalroqs act on the part of any
naval officer to protect her. Such he
considered, was the action of Mr. Aud
| The courtmartial was again crowded

! That unusual interest in the case is

out in degree by a request that full
