San Diego, Sept, 26.-—Lieut, Com« mander Donald T, Hunter, command- | ling officer of the L', 8 8 Delphy, | which led destroyer squadron 11 en| |the rocks off Honda, C Septomber | §, was ready to take the stand at the| opening of today's session of the na- val eourt of inquiry investigating the disaster which cost seven ships and the lives of 23 enlisted men, According to the testimony of Lieut, Lawrence I, Blodgett, navigation of- ficer ‘of the Delphy, he and Lieut, Commander Hunter together made the fatal declalon to turn eastward at 9 o'elock on the night of the wreck, the latter actually lssuing the order for a ehange of course, Assumes Responsibility, Captain Edward H, Watson, chief of the {ll-fated 11th squadron, told the court however that he had made the decision to turn eastward despite radio warnings that they were too far north and that Ideut, Commander Hunter had issued’ the order to change ceurse at 9 o'clock in accord- | ance with his instructions, for which he assumed all responsibility, So anxious was Captain Watson to make clear that he made this critical decision that he asked the court stenographer to read back his testi- mony so that there might be no mia- take in the record. Court Not Satisfled. err\Capu!n Watson had made his declaration of responsibility from the witness stand however, commend- ing highly the officers and men who faced death with him in the disaster and taking all the blame for the de- cislon on himself, it appeared from questions addressed to him by Rear Admiral Willlam V. Pratt, presiding member of the investigating body, that the court was not satisfled to rest with Captain Watson's frank ac- knowledgement of responsibility. What course the examination of Lieut. Commander Hunter would take | today therefore was expected to be determined by conditions entirely out- side of Captain Watson's frank admis- slons that he himself had decided the fatal change of course, that he had never yet ordered soundings taken in all his 14 months as chief of the 11th squadron; that he attached little welght to radio signals warning him he was too far north to turn into Santa Barbara channel and that he had not taken the pains to verify the propeller revolutions count on which the distance covered by the squadron was estimated, STORY OF REVENGE IN ALCOHOL CASE (Continued from First Page) Judge Alling asked Paretta if he placed the liquor in the ceMar to which Paretta replied in the nega. tive. Paretta asserted that he knew nothing about the liquor and has not been near the police since he was dis- charged by Passinissi. Judge Alling then imposed the fine and jail sen- tence. Prosecutor William Greenstein presented the state's case. Stanley Mack appeared before Judge Alling for violating his proba. tion. When asked why he refused to support his wife and children he said that he only wanted to feed one child. The child in question was one of a pair of twins and he felt that his wife should support the others, He was again placed on probation after con- senting to turn over his weekly pay to Probation Officer Edward ‘Connolly. William Ryan, 18 year old Main street youth, charged with theft of $90 from his father on Saturday night, was sentenced to the state reformatory at Cheshire. He entered a plea of guilty to the charge of steal- ing the money and Prosecutor Greensteln stated that the boy had taken a trip to Albany, N. Y., and other cities and returned yesterday with only $3 of the $90 which was stolen. The father testified that when he returned from work Satur- day noon he found that his trunk had been opened and -$90 removed from it, Judge Alling, in passing judgment on the case, stated that it evidently did not do any good to help the boy out as he already has been given sev- aral chances, Judgment was suspended in the | case of Klias Johnson of East Hamp- | den, charged with passing a standing trolley car on West Main street Sun- day at about noon time. Policeman | Clarence Lanpher testified that he saw the trolley stop, several passengers get off and the automobile pass by at a fair rate of speed. Thomas Mc- | Keon, motorman of the trolley, also | testified that Johnson passed his trol. ley after it had been stopped to dis- charge passengers, Johnson said that he did not re- }n\emher passing this particular trol- ley as he went through many villages |in which there were trolley cars and which he passed while they were moving. | Joseph Carroll, charged with drunk- enness, breach of the peace and re. sisting Policeman Thomas Feeney, | }aaked for a continuance of his case | until tomorrow morning in erder that he might secure counsel. The con- | tinuance was granted. Joseph Stanislosno, charged with | being a vagrant, had his case contin- ued until October 27 and he was| placed on probation.
