SUNDAYS DISPATCHES .E;;|
Trial Of Lieutenant Flipper,

GALVESTON, November Ga spe-
cial to the News from Fort Davis
says: The entire day was consumed
by the defense in searching cross
examination of Colonel Shafter. The
various steps relating to Lieutenant
Flippsr' S arrest were reviewed without
material contradictions. Captain Bar
Der, for the defense, claims that he
is endeavoring to present all the
points connected with the case with-
out a desire to conceal anything. He
brought forward testimony to show
that the accused has been prosecuted
by Colonel Shafter in ordering arti-
cles of statue in his possession to
be taken without leaving
him sufficient bedding, and had
taken pains to prevent any one see
ing him without his permission, which
was seldom given. Shafter testified
that he had not ordered accused
to be deprived of his jewelry, but
had ordered everything else of value
to be taken charge Of; that he had
ordered bedding to be furnished, and
| was not aware, until advised, that the
order had not been executed that
he had ordered an extra guard to be
placed at the cell window, and also
had given an order that no one
without permission be allowed to
converse with him, and that the
servants trunk had been taken from
his rooms and searched, and several
packages of papers found in her
possession, part of them being the
identical papers, checks, etc, he was
looking for, though she had strictly
denied any knowledge of their
whereabouts. She admitted that he
had given them to her a few days
previously for safe-keeping. Upon
being asked if a promise had not
been made to provide comfortable
quarters at the post to women if she
would tell all she knew, Col. .Shafter
replied no. He had told her she
would probably go to the peniten-
tiary for her share in the matter.
| Captain Barber laid ground for
impeaching the question as to wheth-
er Colonel Shafter had not testified
differently before the United States
Commissioner as to where the pa
pers were found. Colonel Shatter
was asked if he did not make afida
Wit before the Commissioner for her
arrest, stating that she had property
in her possession which she had OBJ
tanned without the knowledge of any
government agent, to which he re-
piled the affidavit would show. The
theory of the defense is still in con-
lecture.

Those Naughty Soldiers.

RICHMOND, Va, November 6.-The
Military Commission now here in
vestigating the alledged misconduct
of members of the 9th Massachusetts,
regiment, refuse to give information in
regard to their investigation, as it
has not been concluded. Their re-
port will be made upon their return
to Massachusetts to the Adjutant.
General of the State, under whose
orders they came south. Mayor
Corrington, who has been almost
constantly with the commission dur
ing their stay in Richmond, has pre-
pared a statement giving his views Of
the results of the Investigation and
that las also been refused. The gist
of the testimony is that the number
of soldiers of the regiment engaged
in the alleged misconduct was from
30 to IS +; that outrageous advances
were made towards ladies in the
public streets /; that many of the
soldiers paraded one of the
main thoroughfares in broad day.
light with negro women of the low
est character on their arms, ems
bracing and kissing them
that they took possession of
vehicles, putting the drivers
off, and that they invaded bar rooms
and helped themselves, refusing to
pay for the drinks, and committed
many other acts Of wantonness. The
officers comprising the commission
have shown every disposition to
make the investigation full and
searching as possible, and their re-
port will doubtless prove that they
have faithfully discharged their un-
pleasant duty. It can only be here
added that all statements to the
contrary Notwithstanding, there is
nothing known upon which an
opinion can be based as to what that
report will be Or what recommends
tons, if any, will accompany it. The
commission did not leave last even-
ing, as they desired to confer with
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee upon matters ap-
pertaining to their inquiry. They
expect to leave for Washington this
evening.
