Schley Son Alleges Suppressed Letter Affects Inquiry
Captain Thomas F. Schley, son of Rear Admiral Sampson, arrived in Salt Lake City and said sensational evidence would be introduced to clear his father of charges. He cited a suppressed Sampson letter directing him to stay off Cienfuegos and claimed the inquiry should reveal why blame would fall if Santiago had failed. He noted his father could have been named if the battle failed and vowed to present other cards at the inquiry. He enlisted in 1884 and earned a captaincy in the Philippines before returning to Fort Douglas.
