Schley’s Appeal Publicized by Navy Department
The Navy Department released Admiral Schley’s appeal to the president challenging the court of inquiry findings. The eight page petition argues three grounds with Dewey’s opinions cited and requests replacement of the majority ruling with Dewey's view on command and blockade at Santiago. Exhibits A B and C summarize testimony supporting Schley while alleging the majority ignored witnesses and evidence. A second item reports a Wheeler court house shooting where Clyde Pattison was wounded and a young woman shot herself after Pattison was discharged. Both victims’ conditions are uncertain.
