THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, TRIAL WOULD PROVE FARCE Bear Admiral Crowninshield Standi Up for Officer Accused in Venice. ACTION OF THE CAPTAIN IS CENSURED lmprlsone.4 Men Suffered Revolting Indignities at Hands of Italians Because He Did Not At tend to Defense. , LONDON, June 18. The text of the find ings of the court of Inquiry In the case of the United States naval officers Impris oned at Venice in the latter part of April throws a completely new light on the affair. 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" suf fered by the officers while confined at Venice. Under the circumstances Admiral Crowninshield holds "a court-martial would be a larce." Captain Payton's court of tnqulry mi 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 disturbance 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 hall, unusual In this place, resem bling 'yl yli yl.' " Dlatnrbnnce la In a Cafe. Lieutenant Doddridge and Surgeon Led better ran toward Captain Wynne, upset ting chains and two small tables. A largo crowd and "the police Immediately sur rounded Lieutenant Doddridge, who 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 wsntonly at tacking the prisoner." Captain Wynne. Surgeon Ledbetter, Na val Cadet James C. Kress and Langley, a marine, all forcibly endeavored to help Lieutenant Doddridge, retaliating for the assistance of the civilians, 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 luelj own way and no one seemed to be in au thority. The crowd shouted and gesticu lated and the officers made demands and protests. Their treatment In prison waa severe and extremely humiliating, but there Is no evidence that the prison rulee were exceeded." Self-Defense Against Civilians. The officers pleaded self-defense against civilians, that no police were knowingly re sisted and that their Intention waa 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 their Ignorance of the Italian language and laws, and says: The Interpreter, who was a consular clerk, waa not sucessful or satisfactory. The strong feeling against the officers among tne 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 further proceedings against him should be taken. The same conclusion Is arrived at regarding Langley and the court recom mends thst 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 tain Wynne be tried for "his unusual hailj In the quiet of St. Marks square and run ning among chains and tables in a public cafe." Crowninshield Disaffirms Finding. In quashing all the recommendations for courts-martial Admiral Crowninshield says: After a minute examination It appears that there waa not sufficient evidence ad duced by the court of inquiry to establish the allegations against Surgeon Ledbetter, Lieutenant Doddridge and Captain Wynne. The weight of the evidence shows that the two first named were not noticeably affected 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 Italian government, national or municipal, and whose character waa auch 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, waa 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 representatlona for hla relief or appears In court to aid In seeing that Justice Is done or designates an ottlcer to perform these duties. Without this customary assist ance all parties were suffering revolting Indignities during the period of their con finement, and even In court, auch aa are unknown ill the case of lowest criminals in our own court, and. though these mat ters are apart from the question of the culpability of persons arrested, they are the cause of much of the notoriety attend ant on the case. Dispute with a Walter. The sum total of the matter is that two officers had a dispute with a waiter, ran amongst chairs and table., all the tables and chairs being deserted at the time; that one of them upset tables and chalra 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 b? character ized as bringing scandal or disgrace on the naval service. Hence, the court of Inquiry clears the of ficers of rviHttng 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 trial, In which no offense exists, simply to keep a poxslble, 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 avoid, 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 Crownlnshleld's strong Indorsement thereon, contained In the As sociated Press dispatches from London, haa not yst reached the Navy department, which thus far has had nothing but a tele graphic synopsis of tha findings. Secretary Moody, however, on the baals of the cable reports, has positively made up his mind that Admiral Crowninshield acted correctly In not ordering a court martial, eo unless there Is something In the body of the testimony taken by the court of inquiry which is not now known here to exist. It Is improbable that ks will abandon that conviction. Aa le the status of Caput Dayton, the Indorsement of Admiral Crowninshield so far as It may reflect on him will go upon the official 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 promotions next examines him for promotion. So far as the department Is concerned, however, there Is the best reason to believe that It wishes to regsrd the matter ss 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 Maa Supposed to Have Been Murdered Returns to Hla Old Home In Indiana. 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.
