 dence.
 ST. PAUL, Minn.. Maroh 14.--The ia. nous case of Dell P. Wild, who was sent to prison for a year for refusing to do menial duty for Lieutenant Steele, and who was summarily released by order of President Harrison, is eclipsed by the case of Lewis Carter, private in the Twenty Infantry, who has already served nearly five years of ninety nine-year sentence in the Minnesota State prison. The case is probably without parallel in either civil or mil itary history.
 On November 24 1884, Carter who, by the way, is a colored man, was sta tioned with his regiment at Fort She'll ing, Minn. Two or three days after ward Carter was in St Paul intoxicated, and ran things with high hand. His actions, however, were not called to the attention of tho city police, and he went back to his post unmolested. Arriving there, he was arrested on four charges criminal assault on a woman, simple assault, robbery and desertion. Briga- dier-General Terry, then in charge of the Department of Dakota, summoned a court-martial to as- semble at Fort Smelling, January 27, 1885. This court was composed of Captains Benzoni, Lawson, Roche and Stiver, First Lieutenants Tully and Glenn and Second Lieutenants Phillips, Ahern and Tear, all of the Twenty fifth Infantry; while First Lieutenant Lunden, of the Fourth Artillery, acted as judge advocate. The court, after a very brief session, and apparently with out attempting to probe the truth of the charges, found Carter guilty of all the four offenses, and, with the usual army severity of punishing criminals, sen fenced him to Saltwater prison for ninety-nine years.
 Attorney Fred l.. McGhee, of St. Paul, has been giving this case searching att tention since Wild's release, and what he has found out is astounding. He found in West St. Paul the woman on whom the criminal assault was alleged to have been made, and obtained from her an affidavit that Carter had neither assaulted nor attempted to assault her. Then McGhee secured evidence that no robbery had been committed, and sent the two affldavits to Washington.
 The action of the President was prompt and decisive. He found that Carter was guilty only of assertion, and has issued a full and free pardon, which is to go into effect May 25, just five years from the date of Imprisonment. The President also reprimanded the court-martial.

Isaac sawteIie Committed

ROCHESTER, N. H., March 15.-In the continued hearing yesterday of the case of Isaac Sawtelle, charged with the murder of his brother Hiram, Isaac's counsel complained of unfair treatment by the court. He had expected that witnesses expenses would be paid by the State; that the prisoner had been. de- priyed of his money so that witnesses for the defense could not be summoned; that nearly all objections raised by de- fendants counsel had been overruled, while those of the other side had been allowed. He concluded by stating that in existing circumstances he would re- fuse to put in any more testimony here and would go to a higher court for his rights. Issac Sawtelle was then som mitted without bail to await the action of the grand jury.
