Prussian War. Dr. 13winburne says L/131•012 was one
of the volunteer aids of the American Ambulanos,
and was placed directly under the cars and notice of
dope...ant, so that deponent ha 1 cognisance of most
of his acts, and became familiar with him in every re.
specs. By • little careful examination deponent soon
dimowerei that in come way young Lain.o. had a dur
ordered mind, and that he could not DO tcu.l.l to ad-
minister medicines Of carry out Nadal instructions; that
he had no judgment in the admisoi,tratlon of me .iciase,
and was just as likely to gives large and dmigeroue
dose as • smaller and safe or MOON one, no matter
how carefully or perticuarly Instructed. Deponent
was compelled at length to request the withdrawal or
removal of said Lamson from the Anibuiance Depart-
ment, contMeing the recently wounded, to a place
where be woold not have any charge of patients except
oonvaleeosnm, wnich request was male known to
him through his father. Dr. tiwinburrie further says
that in the intercourse which he had with young
Lamson •Ibild at Yam, which at times was intimate,

o.toous there, induced by the reports commit to
him trout the aimocia,e aids of the Medical Ambul.
alias Department, he (deponent) wan irresistibly lad to
regard bun as • man of unsound mind, and that his
wind was so constituted, or became so diseased mid
disordered from some cause or other, unknown to and
undiscovered by depouent, as to render him ir respect-
sable for his actioue, especially in the administration of
drugs and medicines, wherein he seemed to be wholly
deatitute of all judgment aud common sense as to their
effec.s. Dr. Swinburae briber says that his affidavit
is wholly .oluistary, twa•ked amid uncalled for by any
ieladve or friends of Lawson, and unknown to them.
and without retard to wont, if any, ludo nee it might
exert iii Juan!) mg or chaogiug the sentence imposed
upon him. Dr. dwinburne says he felt it was his
duty to depose to what lie has done •, matter of oon-
science, and having &ow that he feels that he has
dischar„ed a duty winch was due iron haus in tow
co,e, • neglect of which might justly subject him to
mental reprehension.

Potsdam. who says that he became acquainted with

alvrrely from attacks of Leer and ague Sr inter.
un,ti.nt fever during the urns they were togetuer,
and was accustomed 10 take daily large quitutiiies
of morphine tool atropts, that he had WO look
and appearance of an insane person, and depon-
ent then regarded him asi or unsound mind,
and irresponsible Lw has acts while in that state
or condition ; that deposit frequently pro-
curred mu punts and stropia for aim at the drug ,tor.,
