Says the Occurrence Was
an Unusual One.

Midshrmen Moss. Duncan and T. w.
Harrison of the last third class, who
have been recommended for dismissal
for "gouging." We're no more guilty
than the majority of the class, in the
opinion of their classmates, was de-
clared today by Midshipman Clarence
o. Ward before the naval court of in
ouiry investigating Irregularities in
examinations at the institution.
Ward, who was president of the class.
was a bluejacket in the navy prior to
entering the academy. 1t also was the
general belief of the class. he said, that
the integrity of the three defendants
was such that they would not stoop SO
low as to steal an examination paper.
Would Believe Classmates.
Moss is the midshipman who claims
to have received through the mail from
an anonymous source papers which he
believed to be legitimate dope or in
formation, but which the academy au-
thorities contend he and all others who
saw them should have known were Of
fetal papers prepared for the last eX-
animation in the modern languages.
Ward said he would believe, and he
thought all his classmates would be-
lieve, their word if the three defend
ants We're to say they did not recog-
nize the papers they had seen as Off
cial examination papers.
Further testimony tending to support
the suspicious of the authorities that
attempts had been made to break into
the office of the department of modern
languages was offered today.
Found Doors Locked.
Instructor L. l.. r. Fournon, who had
been at the institution six years, said
that May IA he found both doors lead
ing to the office of the head of modern
languages locked. This was an un-
usual occurrence. He had never known
them to be locked before.
This statement was in reply to a
question by Capt. Russell, president of
the court, as to whether he knew of
any attempts being made to steal pa
pers from the office of the modern
languages department, or evidences of
locks being tampered with.

Check Offered in Evidence.

Assistant United States Attorney
Archer attempted to offer the check in
evidence, but Judge Wright for the de-
fense objected.
The defense claimed the check was
inadmissible because it did not cor
respond with the description of the
check set out in the indictment. In the
fifteenth count of the indictment the
payee of the check is stated to be the
Pennsylvania Company for Insurance of
Lives and Granting Annuities. the word
"of" being used instead Of on" In the
sixteenth count the company's name ia
given as for guaranteeing" annuities
instead of granting" annuities
Judge Wright insisted that this dis
parity constituted a fatal variance, and
that the check should not be admitted
in evidence. He read numerous an
thorities to sustain his contention.
United States Attorney Laskey on
posed the claim Of variance He urged
that a mere literal difference between
an indictment and the paper sought
to be described by it is not fatal as
long as the substance and Character
are not changed. The older decisions
had been more strict on the pleader
in criminal cases, said the prose-
cutor, but the Court of Annea Ia
has been more liberal. and in the Kemp
case pointed out that the modern de-
cisions look merely to "substantfal'
variance, and in its absence will not
declare fatal variance.
