IMPLIED LEAVE OF ABSENCE.
The Nice Point in Lieutenant Days Trial
by urs-MartiaI.
IPhiladelphIa Times.

IfhliaoeiDhla Times
First-Lieutenant Selden A Day. of The
Fifth United States Artillery. which is sta
| toned at Fort Hamilton. is on trial before
court-martlal at Governors Island on
| charge OF being absent without leave.
Lieutenant Day Is well known in Philadel-
phla. The story OF the charge brought
against him Is, as developed in the pro-
ceedings before the court-martial to-day,
as follows: In April last be was Summoned
to Washington to act as q member OF a
court-martial holding sessions in that
city. Ike court-martial finished It's work
on April 18th. At This iuncture Lieuten-
ant Day received a subpoena from Gen.
eral ROsecrans 10 testify before the House
Committee on Military Affairs in relation
10 certain matters pertaining 10 the Arnot
bill-a bill which relates to promotions in
the army and 10 the correction Of errors in
the register. The bill Is strongly opposed
by certain military cliques, and is advo-
Gated on the principle Of justice to large
numbers Of those in The military service.
According 10 military rules the House
Committees subpoena should have been
served on Lieutenant Day through his
commanding officer. He. however. recog-
nized the service OF subpoena and gave teS-
timOny. He also took advantage OF his pres
snce in Washington TO visit bis nephew in
Annapolis. Professor w. T. Day. and TO
witness certain experiments w'th Coco
gunpowder in the laiter's labratOry. At
Annapolis be tried TO telegraph to his supe-
nor officer at Fort Hamilton, but the day
being Sunday he found the telegraph Office
closed. He returned 10 Fort Hamilton
three days later than be might have done.
Before the court martial Yesterday Pro-
fessor Day testified rs to the manner in
which Lieutenant Day spent his time on
hi, visit 20 Annapolis. The Lieutenant
proposed calling several more witnesses to
prove the manner in which he spent his
time while absent from his post and also 10
show that il was customary 10 take q few
days absence after serving on court
martial in a distant city. The attendance
Of the witnesses not being readily procu-
Table, the Lieutenant decided to dispense
with this evidence. The finding Of the
coult-martia Will be made known in orders
issued in due course,
The Investigation shows there l. good
ground for creditinC the charge which ha>
been maze thai the Lleutenant's trial was
attributable 10 the feeling aroused IN GER
tain military chqueS. notably the Adjutant-
Generals Office. by his testimony before
the House Committee on Military Affairs
relative 10 the ArnOt bill. II was the Civ
Ing OF this testimony which caused his
delay in returning to his post. several Of
ficers who delayed their return longer than
Lieutenant DAY. but who RETAINED from
giving damaging testimony before a House
committee. have not. like him. been sum
moned to stand trial by court-martial.
