1909, were unusually slckly; the court is OIL
oDinion, that the mistortunes alluded to III the
ID specification are amply accounted for.
On the eighth charge, and it's three speclh-
cations, Cater hearing all the evidence, both
for and against the accused, and due delioera-
ton being had thercon) the court IS OF opii!lon'
that brigadier general James Wilkinson Is not
guilty OF said charge, nor Of any OF Its speci-
cations, and therefore acqults him OF all ana
each of them.
The court deems it necessary to OTTER few
remarks in explanation Of the above declsloh'
especislly as it regards the two hrst sPeclhca-
tons to the eighth charge.
The transportation of the baggage OF gene
raj Wilkinson by the public, appears not to be
nrohibited by the " Act fixing the military
neace establishment of the United States,'
nor by the rules and articles of war. 1t IS,
therefore presumed, that his claim to trans
portation is as equitable as that of other oiil-
GERS; and in this view Of the subject, the or
der for the payment of transportation, as nen-
toned in the first specification, cannot be con-
sidered by the court as military crime
more especially as the sum paid by the assist
ant military agent at Pittsburg, appears to have
been debited to general Wilkinson as long ago
as 1905, Oh the books Of the accountant OF TIE
department. of war.
The court cannot perceive that the public
sustained any injury from the short halt of the
detachment on the Ohio, to take on board the
horses of general Wilkinson; nor does it APP
pear that the public sustained any injury from
the transportation of said horses, in public
boats, to New Orleans.
1t does not appear in evidence, that general
Wilkinson directed said horses, on their pas
Sage down the river, TO be fed at the public
