cruise with the battle fleet to Hawaii

ed to be proved regarding the issuance
of the Mitchell statements by the fact
that the ships did carry such people

with the fact as to whether Col.
Mitchell issued the statements or
whether the invitation to these people

Further evidence that the calling of

OF LAWYERS FOCUSED
ON MITCHELL COURT-MARTIAL
Entire Nature of Case Depends ON Ruling of Board
Regarding Admission of Records Not Plainly

the tribunal will follow the rules of

relevant to the charges to be admitted

far a-field and put the War and Navy
Departments on trial instead of Col.
Mitchell.
