The Soldiers Home Investigation.
DAYTON (O.), August 5th.-The Soldiers
Home Congressional Investigating Com
mittee convened at Q o'clock this morning
continuing the examination of witnesses
The testimony revealed dives of infamy
into which the soldiers are inveigled,
robbed and sometimes murdered. Many
resorts out ofthe corporate limits of Dayton
seem 10 be out of the jurisdiction OF the
law. Even those within the city are not
molested by the authorities, and compare
with any Of the most depraved in large
cities. Many soldiers come to Dayton, be-
come drunk and disorderly, are arrested
| and removed 10 the Home and there pun
| ished. Ex-Representative MacMahon said
universal complaints from soldiers pointed
| to harsh treatment under the rules and ar
ticles ofwar. They were treated as in garri-
| son, and should be treated rs in the Home.
| Politics had caused Il change of manage
ment, and all changes in the rules and dis
| cipline were charged by the soldiers direct
to Representative L. 3. Guncle. 4 former
resident manager said the soldiers COM
planned universally of strict discipline and
unjust punishment. They wanted some
one to complain TO- but dared not lay their
| grievances before General II. X. Patrick.
governor Of the Home. This would be OBJ
waited By a resident manager, but Colonel
| Harris, the present resident manager lived
in Cincinnati and the soldiers could see
him but once year. He believed the
| Home should be more Of hospital than a
| garrison The soldiers had done their
work, and this should be their reward The
disorder outside could be dealt with as
other disordcrly citizens are.
