Under the glare of publicity unknown in a U.S. court-martial since Billy Mitchell's day, he sat silent among his seven whispering, paper-rustling defense lawyers. His bony hands were clasped, his gaunt face was impassive. To the right, in a jury box, were the seven members of the court-martial, six Marine officers and a Navy doctor.
