Howison Denies Interview On Schley Case
The Gazette reports Acting Secretary Hackett releasing Admiral Howison's August 24 letter denying the authenticity of an interview attributed to him about Admiral Schley. Howison remains on the Schley Court of Inquiry, with the court to decide any further competency questions. Commander Wainwright met with Captain Lemley to discuss testimony for the government side. Forsyth’s response to interrogatories is still awaited. Hackett said the Watson interview matter is not important enough to warrant a formal letter.
