A special from Portsmouth, N. H.,
says: Colonel Kent obtained an inter-
view with Lieutenant Greedy, who adj
mits that Henry had a military execu
| ton on June 6. As early as March it
was suspected that Henry was stealing
the limited food which was apportioned
| out to the survivors, and this fact being
| finally and positively ascertained Lieuten-
ant Greedy had thereafter hard work
to protect the mans life. It be-
came necessary in order to keep up
discipline to inform Henry that he would
be shot if the practice continued, and
that similar fate would be meted out to
any other member of the party detected
ina like crime. If Henry had been per-
mitted to continue his steaIings I'M
molested the balance of the party would
have surely starved to death, aud
Henry alone survived. After
and in spite of these warnings, Henry
was again detected in stealing provis-
ions, the food taken being two pounds of
bacon, and the eating of SO much made
him sick. A search was then instituted
when it was found that Henry had among
other articles stolen and secreted a pair
or sealskin boots which had belonged to
hunter of the party. Lieutenant Greedy
was therefore, forced in order TO MAIN
tain military, discipline and protect the
lives of his other comrades, to issue q
written order that Henry be
shot, which order was carried into
effect June 9Th. AS to the alleged can
nibalism Lieutenant Greedy says if there
was anything of the kind it must have
been an individual act and not gem
eraI. Nothing of the kind came under
his observation. Sergeant Brainerd, who
is in the hospital at the Navy Yard,
confirms Greely's statement. More than
q week ago Lieutenant Greedy forwarded
to the Secretary of War detailed report
of the H"nry execution. Upon proper
representations to Secretary Chandler a
court of inquiry will undoubtedly be or
dered.
