Court No, 2. The de- fendant is a one-atmed white man, under middle age, and the sp<cific charge against him is that he inflicted injuries, through the medium of a kick, on a ten-year-old boy named James Shoemaker, as the re- sult of which the lad died. ‘The allegation is that last May Webster was oa duty as watchman in connection with a lawn party in Anacostia. A erowd of small boys, it is sdid, caused consider- able annoyance to those giving the party and to the watchman. According to the prosecution, the latter kicked the littl.

Assistant Distriet Attorney Laskey ex- plained to the jury the naturs of the case from the standpoint of the government, after which Deputy Coroner L. W. Glaze. brook took the stand as the first witness for the prosecution. Dr. Glazebrook stated that he performed an autopsy on the body of the Shoemaker boy and found evidences of very serious illness, the body being in a badly emaciated condition. ‘There was no direct evidence of violence, the brain and internal organs being in nor- mal condition. An intestine was found to be slightly torn, aad signs of peritonitis existed. In the opinion of Dr. Glazebrook, the direct cause of the Shoemaker boy's death was exhaustion and blood poisoning. Charles Edward Johnson, a small white boy; Miss Effie Martin, Dr. Asbury Butler and Shriver King, the last-named a boy, re next successively called to the stand. Their testimony was to the effect that Webster had kicked the Shoemaker lad, after a brief al tion over the posses: were sion of a chair, although there was a dif- ference of opinion as to the hour at which it occurred.

The court finds the abandonment was not due to any fault or negligence on the part of any officer of the navy, and the court does not think any further proceedings “should be insti- tuted. The vessel was pronounced to be in fit condition for the voyage to the United States in reasonably fair weather, but could not be called seaworthy in a gale. It was Stated that Commander Ira Harris did not take charge of the Teresa till after the decision of Captain Chittenden of the Mer- ritt Wrecking Company to abandon her. ’- This settles the contention advanced be- fore the meeting of the court that Com- mander Harris exceeded his authority in | taking charge of the cruiser. The transfer of the ship's company from the Teresa to her consort, the Merritt, is characterized * as a skillful accomplishment in vicw of all the circumstances. Lieutenant Harris” conduct under the trying tions is com-~ mended.
