GERS and oiyes ma pleasure to state that at no time
during the evening did Col Reno act otner than as
perfect gentleman and nothing In his conduct would
lead me to think that he was In c0nd1uon other
than that Of sobriety."
The letter from which the first extract is
made is signed by an officer of the army, and
his name is omitted by request. The second
extract is from letter written by civilian
resident of Fort Meade.
''BUrTERcUp'' BUSINESS IN DATES.
Reference to the above extracts and COM
parison with the specifications to the charge
show that ''dates' are mixed up somehow in
regard to the offense charged against Major
Reno.
This is explained by the declaration that in
some way the date has escaped the memory of
the letter writers, but that specification No.
and the letters all refer to the same occurrence.
In Justice to Major Reno it may be stated
that the assurance has been given him that
specification No. 8, alleging the visit to MIR.
Fanshaw's quarters while drunk, has been
withdrawn, and that he willlbe arraigned for
trial on the other two specifications only.
About his phase of the case the military are
non-committal, as in fact they are about the
whole affair.
~ f.. STANFORD NEwE1L's VIEWS.
Remembering that Hon. Stanford Newell
was Major Renos counsel when he was tried
here few years ago for assaulting brother
officers wife, GLOBE ambassador called upon
Mr.. Newell in hopes that he might possibly be
advised about Reno's last trouble.
Yes, Mr.. Newell had heard from Major Reno.
In relation to the last trouble Of which the
GLOBE spoke this yesterday morning2"
"Yes." ...,f -. -
''What. if you feel free to give it, has Major
Reno to say for himself?"
At this Mr.. Newell remarked that Major
Reno was peculiarly an unfortunate man. If
he were guilty of some slight misconduct he'd
be charged by rumor to have committed the
most outrageous crime known to the calendar.
But as to the present affair."" interposed
the GLOBE. So .s..<a
''Well, sir" said Mr.. Newell, ''the G1oBE's
account to-day was horribly exaggerated"
Then Mr.. Newell went on to recite the sub
stance of the charges or specifications as
in that to charge COL Reno with gross, indie
cent or insulting conduct towards any lady.
Your informant was greatly in error, he doubt
less got his information from rumor, and, as
that flies, it takes big increase to itself right
along"
Continuing, Mr.. Newell explained that Col.
Reno had given him a full account of the
whole affair, and while it was unfortunate,
Col. Reno. in his opinion, had only been indis-
Greet, which indiscretion was seized upon as
an opportunity to bring him before a court
martial. . - $50 e -.r
1T is pretty well KNOWN" remarked Mr..
Newell. that When man once has tho bad
luck to incur official displeasure, it is easy to
visit it upon him again. and unfortunately Col.
Reno is an example,
Tho upshot of the talk with Mr.. Newell may
be summarized in the assertion, that be doesn't
believe COL Reno is in fault to the exteut he
has been represented to be.
And with the above, and yesterday 8 account
the GLOBE has given all the versions of Reno's
last escapade, which are attaimble. The court
martial ordered for the twenty fourth, in st. at
Fort Meade, will do the rest. --..-.
