court-martial of Paymaster General Smith to
reconvene on Monday. Speculation is rife as to
the reasons, but nothing official can be learned
has been issued. The court has not vet been
informed of the purpose. The most likely sup
position, and the one most generally credited
Is that flaw has been discovered in the pro-
ceedings. Many think, however, that the Sec
rotary has ordered a reconsideration of the
innings, because they are either lighter or
more severe than the facts warrant, as brought
out In the trial Secretary Whitney when
asked about the matter declined to give any in
with closed doors, and the defense will not be
represented. 1t is learned that the court was
reconvened on account of irregularity, or flaw.
for defense are in ignorance of the matter and
are denied all Information on the subject, it is
presumed that change of sentence is deemed
necessary.
