An Army Scandal Recalled.
FRIDAY EVENING. JAN 27 1893.


Senator Squires has filed in the Sen
ate Ike petition Of a. II. Nickerson for
storation to his former status as a
Major on the retired list of the army.
He says that he resigned November 10,
1883, gin consequence of q domestic
difficulty that has since been settled to
the satisfaction of all parties
Thee domestic troubles caused big
sensation in .ocal circles in Washing
ton when they occurred. In 1853 MAYOR
Nickerson. then one of the best known
aud most highly respected officers III
Washington society, sent his wife
abroad to educate her children. While
she was away he removed for n brief
period TO Philadelphia, and there Sc
cured divorce from his wife on the
ground of dcsertion. On the same day
he married another woman.
1t was subsequently developed by
evidence produced before the Philadel-
phia courts that Mrs. Nickerson No. l
had gone abroad at her hus-
bands solicitation, and that there was
lIOl lllC ltstSOi iOl AiiSIA
ration except the desire of Major Nick
erson to marry the other woman. The
court at once set aside the divorce pro-
ceedings and an Indictment was
brought against Major Nickerson for
perjury.
10 escape trial for this offence aud
also trial by court martial Major
Nickerson fed to Canada, where he re-
manned until few years ago, when tho
original Mrs. Nickerson applied for and
secured divorce Then his friends in
tervened and had the indictment for
perjury set aside While in Canada he
forwarded his resignation. At the end
of three months he could, under the
law, have been dropped as deserter,
but as there was some legal difficulty
Secretary Lincoln decided to accept his
resignation. Major" Nickerson, now
in Washington, claims relief on the
ground that she has spent all the best
years of his life in the service of the
country, and by reason of his many Sc
we're wounds received in that service
he was, ut the time Of his retirement,
has been since and now is incapacitated
from earning his own subsistence"
