Barnett will be the first wit ness before the board of naval inquiry which will start the investigation Fri day. , Details of the killing of the two Haitians came liut in the court martial of the sergeant and two men who act ed on his orders. The natives were shot the night of May 22, 1919. One had been arrested for "working mag ic," and the other for theft They were taken from the Jail by the ser geant and ordered to dig their own graves, evidence at the court martial shows.

What do you think would be the state of your mind and heart, if after, you had finished your evening meal, sat down in your easy chair, picked up your evening paper, and among the first items of news your eye fell upon would be, that your son had that day plead guilty to a foul Crime, and had been sentenced to pay the extreme penalty. If you can imagine such a thing, you will yien be in a position to appre ciate in some small degree at least, the position I am now placed. in. Having had no opportunity to render the boy any advise, or assistance before he was sentenced, together with the fact of the boy's mental weakness, I 'take this means of getting my side of the story before the people of this city and community. t Firsts-Relative to his criminal rec ord; if he ever served a day for any crime before this, I never heard of It and he could not have served long for thare nas not 'been more than six months at any time during the last ten years that I or his brothers have not heard from him. So that, If he has a criminal record It must have Indeed been a very short one. Second Relative to the boy's men tality: At the age of about 3 1-2 years he was exposed to. and contracted malignant form of measles not being able to get them out, the temperature ran up so high that It threw him into spasms or convulsions. After tryinn all day to reduce the temperature and break the spasms, . without success, they decided to administer, chloroform GOLF GETS RKOOGXmOX STAVFORD CXIVERSITT. Cal Oct. 20. (A. p.)

( weeks of constant trying I was forced to the conclusion that because of his mental condition, coupled with his carelessness, that it would be out of the question to ever make a mechanic out of him. It seemed as though 1 was at my wits end. But after due consideration I decided , if I could get him on a farm somewhere he might be taught to do that kind of work. Ac cordingly I corresponded with a rel ative of mine, living in a distant state, who was on a large farm and finally got them to agree to take him and try and teach him to work. This proved in a measure successful. He seemel to like horses and the handling of stock and farm life and got along all O. K. He stayed there until he was nearly or quite of age. At that age hi began to develop a habit of staying out late at night and when they tried to reason with hem, he got miffed and left From that time on he has gone here and there, working on farms, coming home or going to some of his brothers and sisters every year for a short visit. Was in my home town the 1st o"t last April and we heard from him in May or June, so you can see he could not have had a very long crim inal record. Now about the crime that he has confessed to commiting here. That It jwaa foul, uncalled for deal, no one la more conscious of it than I am. And God knows If by any power of mine, could restore the life taken I would gladly do so and my heart goes out In sympatthy for the bereaved wife and family and iiiy prayer has constantly een that God In his infinite love and mercy would comfort sustain and up hold them in this awful hour of trial. I do not maintain that the boy is Inno cent of this foul deed because of his mental condition, for unSouhtedly he knows right from wrong and therefore ought to be punished. But I do say that because of his weakened mental ity he did not understand the enor- If on the other hand you think just ice has been mooted out, I bow in hum ble submission to your will.
