Wo have not room for The orders in full
in which the trial and sentences of the
different deserters are given, but give
the substance.
By general order dated the 9th Sept.
it appears that court martial, of which
Col. Riley, CT the ed Infantry, was Presi-
den,, tried twenty men for deserfion
to tie enemy. Their fate may be read in
the following sentences Of Gen. Scott:
SENTENCES. "
! The court found the above named prison.
ers. (the names are given ngain below sew
orally guilty as charged. and sentenced each
two thirds Of the members Of the court in
| every instance concurring in the sentcnce)
"to be hanged by the neck until he is dead.'
2. The General Chief approves the
foregoing proceedings and sentences, with
the following exceptions: the cases of Thos.
Re ley, company l. Sd Infantry; James
BILLS, company II same regiment. and John
Kelley, company K, S Infantry.
These three prisoners saverally COM
n1itted the crime Of desertion as charged,
in the early part of April, 1916. At
that date the United States were at peace
with Mexico and all the world; for the
present war did not break out, in fact, till
later date, and was not recognized to
exist, by the Congress of the United
States, till the 18th of the following
month.
No higher punishment can, therefore,
be legally inflicted upon those a,rocious
offenders, T. Riley, J. Mills and ]. Riley
than that prescribed for state Of peace,
viz: Fifty lashes with rawhide whip,
well laid on the bare back Of each, and
their punishment is committed according
Ily-with the addition, that each be brand
ed on cheek with the letter d, kept
close prisoner as long as this army re-
mains in Mexico, and then be drummed
out Of the service.
So much Of the punishment, in the case
Of Henry Newer, company D, 18th Artil-
lery, as relates to hanging, is, on the rec
commentator of many members Of the
court RENTED; and like remission is
made in the case Of Edward McHerron,
company G., same regiment. out of con-
sideration for son, a private in the SAM
company, who has remained faithful to
his colors.

Iofmitigation in the several IN Hen

that The spring sowing has hardly begun in a

is therefore made for the ensuing year. The

From The melancholy accounts We re-
