The court-martial of which Capt. P. F. Herrington, United States navy, is pres dent and Ensign Warren J. Terhune, Unit States navy, is judge advocate, today con- tinued at the navy yard the investigation of the charges against Seamen Lamont, Mur- phy, Smith and Fox of the gunners’ clas: accused of hazing three colored members of the same class. The examination of Wit- ness McDermott, who was on the stand at the hour of adjournment Saturday, was con- cluded, the court asking him a single ques~ tion. During the reading of the report of his testimony and the preparation of his reply to the question by the court McDermott at times used language regarded as defiant. President Harrington thereupon warned him that if he did not pursue a different course the court would take action in the matter. For the rest of the time that the witness Wag on the stand he was respectful in his demeanor to all connected with the cas When McDermott left the stand William Johnscn, one of the men who, it is alleged, was hazed by the accused, was called and related the details of the offenses charged against the accused, as described in the testimony before the court of inquiry. At noon when the court took a recess for one hour Johnson was still on the stand. Attempted Suicide. A niiddle-aged man, Jefferson D. Norris, a wood turner by occupation, was taken to Freedmen’s Hospital last evening in a semi- conscious condition, suffering from a dose of laudanum. Norris resides at 215 11th street southwest, but he was found late yesterday afterncon at 15th and V streets suffering from the effects of the drug. The friends of the sufferer have declined to dis- close any of the facts of the case, but would seem that Norris visited an uptown ¢rug store, and, being acquainted with the proprietor, secured possession of and swal- lowed the laudarum with suicidal intent, while the other persons in the store were in ignorance of his act. At Freedmen’s Hospital today a Star re- porter was informed that the condition of Norris was much improved, and the phy- siclans are of the opinion that he will re- cover. — Christmas in the Sunday School.
