Judge Advocate Silent. Maj. Dion Williams, who has acted as} judge advocate, allowed the case to rest} without the presentation of his conclu- sions. Lieut. Commander John K. Rob- ison, summing up for the defense, ar- gued that Capt. Qualtrough was ill, but! not intoxicated. | He laid particular stress upon the ab- jormal physical condition of the accused | captain, which rendered him peculiarly susceptible to alcoholic and nicotine pois- oning, and contended that he could not} be held responsible for the unexpected ef | fect of one-third of the quantity of wine fran by those around him at the recep- tion. In any event, he insisted, if the specifi- cations were found true, Capt. Qual- trough was involuntarily guilty. His ex- ceptionally fine record as an officer en- titled him to clemency. Capt. Qualtrough has received many cable messages of sympathy from America. Qualtrough’s Record in Evidence. All the evidence in the court-martial was presented yesterday. A number of witnesses testified that Capt. Qualtrough was intoxicated and unfit for duty.

He had smoked a strong cigar. Surgeon Crandall of the Georgia, one of the two witnesses for the defense, testified that Capt. Qualtrough's physical condition was low, and that he .there- IT FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN. gineers Much Gratified at Result of the Inspection.

WALTHAM, Mass., February 4—John PANAMA, February 4.—Mr. Taft in his G. Clarkson, famous the land over as a base ball pitcher in the days when ten- thousand-dollar release prices began to be paid between National League clubs, died at the McLean Hospital here today. He had been a patient there for about two weeks, following a long illness which began at his home in Winthrop with an attack of pneumonia. Clarkson's fame developed with his work as a pitcher for the Chicago club in the early 80s. His release was purchased for $10,000 by the Boston club in 1887. Clarkson was forty-eight years old and married. John Clarkson first became prominent in the professional ranks as pitcher for the Saginaw club in 1884. in 1585 he joined the Chicago club and remained with that club until 1888, when, at his own request. he gvas released from that club, and the to his services for $10,009. Clarkson did 400d work Tor the Bostons and reipained with them until 1882. Tnea he was turned over to the Cleveland club. Clarkson took high rank as a strate- gic pitcher after his first season in the Chicago team. He never pitched with more telling effect than he did during Jes? with the Bostons when his great- est opponent was Tim Keefe. Had he been properly backed up that year it was figured that he would have won the championship for Boston. He pitched in more games that year than any other twirler. His record proved conclusively his right to the title of champion pitcher of the season. Clarkson worked in 68 full games and a portion of 4 others. He is credit- ed with 49 victories and 16 defea which is something for these late da twirlers to look at as they consider games a hard season's work.
