which was brought before him on motion
for reconsideration. In his decision the as
slstant secretary rescinds rule number 1856
made by Commissioner Black, Sept 4, 1885,
and overrules the opinion of ex-Assistant
Secretary Hawkins in the same case that
"dishonorable discharge" from the service
operates as "bar to pension" He also
holds that rule number 1856 was an erroneous
Interpretation of the statutes granting pen
sions to the soldiers of the late war, for dis
abilities incurred in the line of duty, and
declares that the character of soldiers
discharge cannot affect his claim for pension
on account of such disabilities. he holds
that t "dishonorable discharge" is a penalty
for specific offense against the service for
which the soldier may be punished, but that
the penalty cannot include nor relate to a |
claim for pension based upon disability. The
two things ara held to be wholly distinct from |
Bach other and are not governed by the same |
egal considerations.
