Show Sampson's Attorney's to File Brief In Scbley Case. Stayton and 'Campbell, attorneys for ReaI:TAinh'aTrflpStrn, are engaged in drawing ap a formal protest against the minority finding of Admiral Dewey in the Schley court of inquiry. Mr. Campbell said: We are preparing a brief, and have until Thursday afternoon to file it. It is based upon the record of the court. Three times, in behalf of Admiral Sampson, there was a tender of evidence evi-dence to show who was in command at the battle of Santiago. The court ruled that such testimony was inadmissible, inadmis-sible, and the question was not gone into. As a matter of fact, Rear-Admiral Sampson's flag was never down at Santiago, and he was in command of the squadron. . The question of command com-mand at Santiago has already been passed upon by the court of claims, which awarded that honor to Rear-Admiral Rear-Admiral Sampson. |
