The soldiers Heme Investigation.
DAYTON, Ohio. Aug. 5.-fhe Soldiers
Home Congressional investigating COM
mittee convened at 8 this morning. Con-
tinuing the examination of witnesses,
the testimony revealed the lives of in
fanny into which soldiers were inveigled
robbed and sometimes murdered. Many
resorts out of the corporate limits of
Dayton seem to be out of the jurisdic-
ton of the law. Even those within the
city are not molested by the authorities
and compare with any of the most de-
PRAYED in the large cities. Many soldiers
come to- Dayton, become drank aud dis
orderly. are arrested and removed to
the home, aud there punished.
Ex Representative Mahon said the
universal complaints from the soldiers
pointed To harsh treatment under the
rules and articles of war. They were
treated as If in garrison, and should be
treated as il in a home. Politics had
caused a change of management, and
all changes in rules and discipline were
charged by the soldiers direct to the re-
preventative.
l.. Is. Gunckle, formerly resident
manager, said the soldiers complained
universally of strict discipline and un-
Just punishment. They wanted some
one TO complain to, but dared not lay
ths grievances before General NJ. Il.
Patrick, the Governor of the Home.
This would be obviated by n resident
manager, but Colonel Harris. the pres
ent resident manager, lived in Cincin
natl, and the soldiers could see him but
once year. He believed the home
should be more hospital than gar
risou. The soldiers had done their
work and this should be r. allied. Those
disorderly outside should be dealt with
as other disorderly citizens are.
