Finding, guilty. The court does sentence him
10 be suspended from rank and command for

Ia the limits OF some post within the Dept.
for the same period, and to be reprimanded
in q. .. In the case of Capt. Hotsenpiller the
offences are improperly charged under the
the offences Of Capt. HotsenpiIler are those
OF wrongfully and knowingly selling
and disposing OF public property, in violation
OF the 60th Article of War, rather than a mere
neglect of duty, as charged. The charge and
specifications thereto We're amended in this
respect at these Headquarters and returned
TO the accusing officer with remark, TO the
effect, that he might accept the amended
charges for trial IL he believed that the true
character of the offences We're therein cor
rectly alleged he being aware of the facts
Otherwise the charges preferred bv him should
be laid before the court for trial. The
accusing officer, II seems, deemed ii best un-
der these instructions, that the form of
charges preferred by him charged and speci-
ned the offences sufficiently. The facts de-
veloped on the trial show, however, that the
accusing officer misapprehended the true
character Ol the offences. and that the chary-
es as amended at these Headquarters truly
set forth the legal offences as shown by the
evidence. The proceedings, findings and
sentence are confirmed, and the sentence
will be duly executed. Fort Lyon, Colo. is
designated as the. place Of confinement tG.
