Butler, as Chairman of ihe Board of Directors

deserted during the war and forfeited the same,
amounting to about four millions Of dollars.
The Treasury officials defined to turn over the
money to the asylum, on the ground that the
bounty was not due to the soldier until his term
of service had expired. General Butler held
that it was due upon entering the service. The
matter was referred to the Attorney General,
who has decided that the bounty is not due
until the expiration of the term of service;
hence it cannot be turned over to the asylum.
