Hughes suspected that VIM. Ackermap
for long time clerk in Adjutant-G Gen

innate with his sister, lizzie Ackerman,
a handsome girl of 20. He soon became
convinced of the truth of his surmise
and Ackerman, finding that he was bo

sscertalned that the girl had been SO,

accused Mrs. Howard of knowledge OF

been hired by Ackerman to care for the
child, which subsequently died. She
showed the death certificate. The facts
were laid before the grand jury, which
returned indictments against the Ack.
