on which the Judge Advocate General
hases his opinion on the Mason case il
that the charge Of assault with intent to
kill was not fully established by the ev.
islence presented. Another point said
to have been noticed bv Gen. Swain is
that Mason is not arraigned on the prop
er charge as his most serious offense,
from military point Of view, was sedi-
tiOus conduct under circumstances that
might have resulted in . M. tiny among
soldiers serving with him at the time.
The approval Of the report by the Presi.
dent would result in the discharge of
Mason from custody and render him ex-
empt from further proceedings by the
military auth ,rities for the same offense.
