Witnesses Accuse Nelson,
Honor Student of the
Graduated Class.
MANY MEN ENTERED
OFFICES WITH EASE
One Used Key and Pincers-
Thefts of Examination Papers
Not Proved.

Annapolis, June %. - Midshipmen
James f. Waddell and Charles NJ. Rea-
gle testified before the Court of Inquiry
to-day that they had seen Midshipman
Ralph NJ. Nelson, one of the original
defendants and an honor student in the
class which was graduated during the
present month. enter the department Of
marine engineering without authority,
and, according to Waddell, take turbine
sheets" containing advance information
as 10 recltations.
Waddel admitted that he had taken
some mathematical work which later
proved useless. lie said that he had
gone to see his mark. and had made but
four visits to the engineering depart
ment and none TO any other. Waddell
testified that he had received a mes
sage from Nelson in which the latter
threatened 10 "fx him" il Waddell tes-
tilted against him, and had written a
letter to Nelson saying he would for
get what he knew.
To the difficult course of study and
severe requirements for a passing mark
at the academy the witness laid the re-
sponsibility for the dope system, and
said he thought midshipmen in the
higher savvy sections were given better
marks for the same work than mid
shipmen in the lower wooden sections.
He formed his opinion, he said, from
experience, as he was savvy in lam
guages and wooden in mathematics.
Offices Entered Easily.
Midshipman Waddell was brought
into the case through the testimony Of
Ensign Graham, who testified yester-
day that Waddell had told him of a
systematic theft of papers engineered
by Nelson.
The statements Of Midshpman
Reagle, of the present second class, re-
vealed the ease with which departments
and Offices could be entered by mid
shipmen. He said he had entered at
least four denartments, either through
doors or windows, with key he car
ried, or by drawing the window bolt
with pair of pincers. His purpose
was, he said, to rag his mark or catch
a smoke. He denied that he had ever
taken examination papers.
Reagle said that Midshipman Nelson
had gone with him 10 the engineering
department on three or four occasions,
but that he had never seen him do
anything more than get his mark. He
denied that Nelson had trained him
to enter buildings, as had been init
mated, and also said that he had never
seen Nelson in any other department.
Reagle was closely questioned by
Judge Advocate Watts and President
Russell of the court, but nothing in
connection with the theft of tie ex-
animation papers in modern languages
