tial WAS convened at the war department
this morning for the trial of Mai. j. j
Lydecker, Of the corps of engineers, Vu
changes arizlng from the failure of the

The proceedings opened with The read
ing of The order conyening the court and
the charge of neglect of duty to the pre-
judice of good order and dic.pline, which
was supported by six specifications,
which set out the faulty work in the tun-
mel and the failure of the defendant to
exercise care in its uperinteudence.
After the specifications had been read
Maj. Lydecker pleaded not guilty. He
denied all responsibility for the charap-
ter of work while admitting it was
defective in several particulars.
Then following the reading of contracts,
orders aud other papers connected with
the tunnel work, after which Lieutenant
Townsend testified he had discovered a
number of pieces of bad work, and in one
case where forty feet of dry packing and
cavities were found and the sub inspec-
tor had been discharged, aud q change
made in the force of men. Major
Lydecker examined the reports and went
through the tunnel several times with the
witness when he first reported and after
wards. He had known these visits to be
two months apart and about 100000
would be required to line the tunnel, and
while there were portions of watch he
was afraid, and on the whole, he thought
that the tunnel would carry water in Its
present condition. Adjourned.
