His sister, Miss Henri- etta Haviland, and his four daughters, who Are now enroute to Denver from France, have been telegraphed to hasten thy ing. Mr. | baa lived in the ains last two years mou for 1 mnn-?.mmmuuwun / . It now appears that the United States con- sul at Venice, Henry A. Johnson, and the lawyer provided by him for the defense urged the officers to plead that they were violently drunk. This they utterly declined to do. Rear Admiral Crowninshield, commanding the European squadron, in reviewing the findings of the court, severely censures Captain James H. Dayton, the commander of the Chicago, for not personally attend- ing to the defense of the officers and com- ments on the “revolting indignities” sut- fered by the officers while confined st Venice. Under the ctrcumstances Admiral Crowninshield holds “a court-martial would be a tarce.' Captain Tayton's court of inquiry ml- nutely traces the movements of the officers of the Chicago on the day.of their arrest and says Lieutenant John S. Doddridge and Surgeon Robert E. Ledbetter were “affected by liquor to a noticeable extent, but were not intoxicated in the ordinary meaning of the term, and there is no evidence that the other parties were affected by drink- ing." The disturhance arose when Captain Rob- ert F. Wynne, commanding the marine guard of the Chicago, seeing Doddridge and Ledbetter sitting outside Florlan's cafe, “gave a hail, unusual in this place, resem- bling ‘yi yii yi.’ Disturbance is in a Cafe. Lieutenant Doddridge and Surgeon Led- better ran toward Captain Wynne, upset- ting chairs and two small tables. A large crowd and “the police immediately sur- rounded Lieutenant Doddridge, wh en- deavored to explain. “The crowd,” the findings continue, “pressed on, shouting and gesticulating, and were not well controlled by the police. The police seized Lieutenant Doddridge and apparently at the same time the crowd attacked him. Lieutenant Dodd- ridge was roughly handled by the police and it required the assistance of citizens to effect his arrest. But there were no means of distinguishing the persons assisting the police from those who were wantonly at- tacking the prisomer.” Captain Wynne, Surgeon Ledbetter, Na- val Cadet James C. Kress and Langley, & marine, all forcibly endeavored to help Lieutenant Doddridge, retaliating for the assistance of the civillans, but not attack- ing the police. “At the station,” it is added in the find- ings of the court, “there was much excite- ment. The crowd was at first allowed (helr own way and no one seemed to be in au- thority. The crowd shouted and gesticu- lated and the officers made demands and protests. Thelr treatment in prison was severe and extremely humiliating, but there is mo evidence that the prison rules were exceeded.” Self-Defense Against Civillans, The officers pleaded self-defense against civilians, that no police were knowingly re- sisted and that their intention was not to rescue Lieutenant Doddridge, but to protect bim from violence inflicted by outsiders. The court refers to the disadvantage at which the officers were placed during the trial, owing to thelr ignorance of the Itallan language and laws, and says: The Interpreter, who was a consular clerk, was not sucessful or satisfactory. The 'strong feeling against the officers among the audience was frequently mani- fested and orders were made by the magis- trate to suppress the manifestations. In summing up the court finds that, while the actions of Cadet Kress were indiscreet, no turther proceedings against him should be taken. The same conclusion is arrived at regarding Langley and the court recom- mends that Lieutenant Doddridge, Captain Wynne and Surgeon Ledbetter be tried by court-martial for “conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman,” that Lieutenant Doddridge and Surgeon Ledbetter be tried for “‘being noticeably affected by liquor and upsetting tables and chairs” and that Cap- taln Wynne be tried for “his unusual hall, in the quict of St. Marks square and run- ning among chairs and tables in a public cafe.” Crowninshield Disafirms Finding. In quashing all the recommendations for courts-martial Admiral Crowninshleld says: After a minute examination it appears that there was not sufficient evidence ad- duced by the court of inquiry to establish the allegations against Surgeon Ledbetter, Lieutenant Doddridge and Captain Wynne. The welght of the evidence shows that the two first named were not noticeably aftected by liquor. The matter appears to have been forced to trial on account of the demands of civilians who were in no way under the authority of any branch of the Itallan government, national or municipal, and whose character was such that the officers were victimized. That the matter did come to trial, resulting in notoriety detrimental to the reputation of those in- Volved and to the good name of the service, was due at least in part to the omission | to observe that custom of the service whereby the commanding officer of a United States naval vessel, in case of the arrest on shore of one of his command, himself either makes immediate and direct representations for his relief or appears in court to ald in seeing that justice 1s done or designates an officer to perform these dutles. = Without this customary assist- ance all parties were suffering revolting indignities during the perfod of their con- finement, and even In court, such as are unknown in the case of lowest criminals in our own court, and, though these mat- ters are apart from the question of the culpabllity of persons arrested, they are the cause of much of the notoriety attend- ant on the case, Dispute with a Waiter, The sum total of the matter is that two officers had a dispute with a waiter, ran amongst chairs and tables, all the tables and chalirs being deserted at the time; that one of them upset tables and chairs and that another called out in loud tones in the deserted square. While some or all of these actions may be considered indiscreet or lacking in dignity none of them merit a court-martial and none can be character- ized as bringing scandal or disgrace on the naval service. Hence, the court of Inquiry clears the of- ficers of rasisting public authority or un- warrantably attacking citizens, which are the principal, if not the only, points on which the Italian courts found the parties guilty. The court is relieved of the em- barrassment of bringing the parties to trlal, in which no offense exists, simply to keep a possible, though entirely unauthor- ized promise that a court-martial should follow the court of inquiry. The parties will be admonished to so conduct them- selves In the future as to avold, If possible, a repetition of the occurrence leading to this court of inquiry Thinks He Acted Correctly. WASHINGTON, June 18.—The text of the proceedings before the Chicago court of inquiry with Admiral Crowninshield's strong ipdorsement thereon, contained in the As- sociated Press dispatches from London, has Bnot yet reached the vy department, which thus far has had mothing but a tele- graphic synopsis of the findin, Secretary Moody, however, on the basis of the cable reports, has positively made up his mind that Admiral Crowninshield acted correctly in not ordering & court- martial, so unless there is something in the body of the testimony taken by the court of inquiry which is not now kmown here to exist, it is improbable that he will abandon that conviction. As 10 the status of Captain Daytom, the lndouLmem of Admiral Crowninshield so far as {t may reflect on him will go upon the officlal records, and unless the officer should meanwhile clear himself by asking for a court of inquiry or a court-martial and securing judgment in his favor, it might affect him when the board of pramotions next examines him for promotion. So far as the department is concerned, however, there Is the best reason to believe that it wishes to regard the matter as a closed incident influenced thereto to some degree by the State department, which earnestly de sires to avoid the prosecution of a subject that might embitter the existing pleasant relations with Italy ABSENT FIFTY-SEVEN YEARS Man Supposed to Have Been Murdered Returns to His 0Old Home in Indinn CHICAGO, June 18.—Abraham Burns, aged 77 years, who disappeared from his home fifty-seven years ago and was thought to have been murdered in a trappers’ feud, has returned to Hammond, Ind., “to vieit the folks,”” as he said.
