IN BEHALF (IF SCIIIJV
Mr. Raynor Mikes a lit imrkable
Peroral ion Hd'ore the Court,
TEARS MAI)KTO FLOW
His inscription of the Admiral as He
Stood on the Rroi.iklyii Fighting
tlie Spanish Fleet Was Par-
ticularly A UVciiitg,
Washington, Nov. 7.—The climax of
the Schley court of inquiry came Wed-
nesday aft ernoon whee Mr. Hay nor,
chief counsel for Admiral Schley,
concluded a brilliant argument of over
three hours, with a peroration so elo-
quent and impassioned that all with-
in the sound of his voice was pro-
foundly touched.
This remarkable trial, he said,
sought to condemn the man who had
brought to a successful termination
as great a naval triumph as was ever
won. In vivid colors he painted the
picture o fthe Brooklyn with Commo-
dore Schley on the bridge fighting the
entire Spanish fleet until the Oregon
appeared out of the smoke. The scene
in the court room as lie finished was
thrilling. The attendance was large
and at the morning session a lady had
fainted from excitement.
As Mr. Raynor began his eulogy of
Admiral Schley those In the audience,
many of whom were ladies, leaned for-
ward in their seats. The spell of his
oratory was over them, and when he
described the admiral's gallant deeds
and the long persecution to which he
had been subjected, many of them
wept. The members of the court dis-
played evidences of emotion and Ad-
miral Schley himself was plainly
moved. He sat, leaning back, with
his hands behing bis head. Ills chin
twitched, and as his counsel saild he
could afford to await the verdict of
posterity, two big tears rolled down
his cheeks.
For fully 30 seconds after Mr. Ray-
nor closed there was not a sound.
Then the tension broke in a loud burst
of applause. Admiral Dewey, after
about, half a minute, arose to remind
the spectators that such ademonstra-
tion was out. of place. A moment
afterward the court adjourned, the
judge advocate pleading that he could
not well go on just then.
Then another remarkable thing hap-
hened. As soon as the gavel fell the
entire audience surged forward to
shake the hands of Admiral Schley
and Mr. Rayner. But the incoming
spectators fell back a moment as the
saw Admiral Dewey and liis two as-
sociates move around the table as if
by a common impulse and congratu-
late Admiral Schley and his counsel.
Even Captain Lrmly, the judge advo-
came forward to join in the con-
-iations. Then the public had its
inning, and for fifteen minutes after
the court adjourned. Admiral Schley
and Mr. Rayner were kept busy shak-
ing hands.
Mr. Rayner displayed good temper
in adverting to the testimony of most
of the officers, and most especially the
ranking officers who semed to contra-
dict his client, giving them in each
case the credit for honesty of purpose.
But with a few lie daalt unsparingly.
Wood, Potts and Bristol he held up to
ridicule.
SAMPSON'S PROTEST.
His Lawyer Want Some Keferfiice* Id
Speech Obliterated.
Washington, Nov. 7.--E. S. Theal,
acting on behalf of Stayton and Camp-
bell, retained by Admiral Sampson to
look after the latter's interest before
the court of injuiry, has sent a letter
to the court protesting against inclu-
sion in the record of certain statements
made in the court of argument by
Schley's counsel, which is deemed to
reflect upon Admiral Sampson's con-
duct at Santiago.
The letter particularly refers to the
statement of the counsel that Admiral
Sampson permitted the Spanish cruiser
Colon to lie in sight without attacking
the harbor of Santiago from the time
of his arrival, June 1, 1898, to about
10:35 a. m. of that day.
The letter asks that such statements
be stricken from the record or that
Sampson be permitted to appear in the
case of counsel and defend himself.
The entire time of the Schley court
or inquiry yesterday was devoted to
argument in Admiral Schley's behalf.
Immediately after court convened,
Captaii Parker i oceeded with his ad-
dress and he was followed without loss
nf time by Isadore R lyner, Admiral
cSchley's chief counsel.
