PRIVATE swANN.s DEATH.
Results Of Gen. Gibsons Invest,gatiess Iato
the Case.

Results OF Gen. Gibson's lnyest1gatiOas Into
the Case.
The sad death Of Private Swami in the guard
house ut Washington barracks, as printed in
last evenings STAR, Is still the principal topic
OF conversation among the men stationed there.
1t will be remembered that Private Swami
after applying for nick leave, which was
refused, died Sunday morning. SRI =
reporter visited the barracks this morn
ing to learn il anything further had
developed in connection with the case.
He first called upon the commanding officer,
Gen. Gibson, who was found in his Office.
"Yes," said the general. Il have heard tho
r1moD concerning Private Swann's death. and
have taken steps to find out the particulars.
As soon us got wind OF the rumors called for q
special report from the surgeon in charge, DIR.
Bannister; That repor. has been received, to-
read you The special report Of
DR.. Bannister states in Substance that
he made an autopsy of the body Of Privat e
Swami and 1t demonstrate the fact that dea III
was due to heart failure resultil z
from ruptured aneurism of the
statod. was Of long standing and its location
renders it invariably fatal.
Not satisfied with this Gen. Gibson called for
special report from the officer of the day, to
"Hoih, US statcu III yesterdays STAR. swami
made application for sick leave.
Capt Hess, the officer Of the day, corrobo-
rates the statement published in The stan that
Private Swami reported to him that he was too
ill to work, and complained OF pains
in his bones and loss of sleep. II could not
excuse him while the medical authorities
reported him for duty" says Capt. Hess, but
told him would report the facts to the COM
manding officer, to which lie replied 1T is not
worth while TO do so''
This statement was transmitted to Dr. Ban
mister for additional report, and that was re-
ceiyed during The STAR reporters STAY.
lie says in his supplemental report that the
man reported for sick leave, but as his COM
plant could readily DO relieved by medicine he
was prescribed for and marked for duty.
II not relieved by the prescription
and on finding after trial that he was unable
TO work he should have reported to the sur
geoE again. He says further that Swami
has not, to his knowledge, been on sick
report from February 1Ath to the 22d and
that he could not be expected by intuition
to know that he was sick. He was treated by
other surgeons, but DIR. Bannistcr says
he cannot find any record that
aneurisn: of the norta was ever suspected, nor
did this complaint direct special attention to
that organ.
Ger. Gibson says that he win not conduct the
investigation further unless ordered to do SO by
the Secretary OF War.
