SERGEANT MASON'S CASE.
A Nice Point Which May vitiate the
Whole PrOceedings.

Since the conviction of Sergeant Mason for
shooting at the assassin Guiteau n question
has arisen as to whether the finding of the
court will hold good, inasmuch as the prisoner
was not present when the Judge-Advocate and
other members of the court were sworn. 1t is
asserted that fatal error was committed by
the court at its very beginning by excluding
Mason from the room when the members
of the court were sworn, and that that fact
will vitiate the whole trial and must
Restore Mason to Duty
as q Sergeant Of Battery B, Second Artillery.
1t is thought by many that when this fact Is
brought 10 the attention of the higher authori-
ties the proceeding of the courtmartial Will
be at once set aside and Mason be restored to
duty in his grade of Sergeant.
Representative OF THE CRITIC called at the
Arsenal this morning to see Mason. A polite
card. was sent to Gen. Ayres, Commandant
of the Barracks, requesting an interview with
Gen. Ayres replied that Mason being a con-
Wet under sentence, orders do not permit that
he be seen.
maintain that the finding of the late court
martial will be overthrown for the reasons
stated above. There are few, however, who
say that the sentence as passed will be pro-
nounced. Below is given the Army regulations
on the subject:
Section Old OF the regulations is as follows
"Every courtmartial shall keep n complete
and accurate record of its proceedings
TO be authenticated by. the signatures
Of the President and Judge Advocate
Advocate, who shall also certify in like man
ner, the sentence pronounced by the Court in
each case. The record must show that the
Court was organized as the law requires;
that the Court and Judge Advocate were duly
sworn in the presence of the prisoner; that he
was previously asked whether he had any OBJ
lection TO any member and his answer thereto.
copy of the order appointing the Court will
be entered on the record In each case.
1t will be seen from the above section that n
fatal error was committed II the court and
Judge-Advocate were sworn in the absence of
the prisoner. That such was the fact is not
believed at the War Department. The record
in this case is said to conform to the regula-
tions In this respect, and II so, q question of
veracity is raised between the court and those
who charge 1t with a violation of the Army
regulations,
