The question of embezzlement was

Tense claimed lie could not be legally
convicted under the charge or that aside
from that he was entirely innocent of
any guilty intention or conduct estab-
lish embezzlement; that he had been
careless in his manner, settling commits
saries to enlisted men and laundresses
on time and not collecting money, but
not dishonest. When he discovered his
shortage he was afraid to speak of it, by
reason Of his peculiar position i'll the ar.
my. and that this led to his
making false statement
hoping to be able to raise the funds be-
fore he was required to turn them over:
that he made several attempts to raise
the money,each failing, and having been
embarrassed lie attempted to work ont
the problem alone; that he kept his funds
IN his trunk for extra precaution, and
some one knowing it had gradually alb
stracted 1t. Flipper always sustained a
character for integrity, honesty and good
habits. Capt. Barber also mentioned his
great success from entering West Point
up to the present time against eXtraordi

the consideration of the court. The
ljndge advocate replied, stating tha
Flipper was the legal custodian of til.
government funds and if kept in another
place than prescribed by law, he wa!
responsible, and cited many
authorities to sustain his claim that a.
the funds were not presented when call
ed for. He was guilty of embezzlemen
as matter of law, and it was not neces
sary to prove the actual crime. He alst
severely criticised his conduct in making
the false statements and reiterating then
until the funds were found and that ont
wrong did not justify another. At tn
conclusion of this case the Judge advo
cate announced that he had no furthe
business to present and the court ad
journed sine die. This ends one of til,
most noted cases that has ever beer
tried in the army.
