Schley inquiry rules Sampson counsel out of case
In Washington on September 27 the Schley court of inquiry ruled Admiral William T. Sampson's lawyers could not appear. The session focused on whether Admiral Schley knew of the Spanish fleet at Santiago Bay, with Captain Wise claiming he did not inform Schley and did not ask Sigsbee to do so. The court, led by Admirals Dewey Benham and Ramsay, prepared to continue with several witnesses to close the government case next week.
