A prominent lawyer in Washington holds
that the decision OF the Supreme Court in
the case Of Sergeant Mason IS er-aneous.
Although the court was right in deciding
that q soldier on duty guarding a prisoner
vino discharges bis piece at such prisoner Is
| guilty of conduct to the prejudice Of good
order and military discipline, the facts de-
| yeloped BIZ the evideuce showed that Mason
was not regularly on duty guarding Guiteau,
but was merely guarding the jail under the
| suppositlon that It was the property Of the
| United States, but, as matter OF fact, Il
was not the property of the United States,
| but the D strict of Columbia How can it
be possible, he says, that Gu!teau was under
| military surveillance in view of the act OF
/ Congress OF 1873 expressly forbidding the
use Of troops for any such purpose.
