DlsAPPRovRs THE SENTENCE.
General McCooE Refuses to Confirm q
Court Martial

General McCooE Refuses to Confirm q
Court Martial.
Some time in January last man call
ing himself Joseph Pritchard called at
the Office Of the Acknowledgement of the
department of Arizona and told Capt. E.
S. Dudley that he desired to enlist, pro-
vided he could get into cavalry regi-
ment. He stood perfect examination,
and was sent out to Fort Wingate to join
the Second cavalry. The papers con
cerning his enlistment we're transmitted
from the adjutant-general' office to the
war department, and there the thing
was supposed to have ended. In the
course OF examination the following
questions are always asked of the appli
cant for enlistment:
Have you ever been discharged from
the United States army? Have You
ever been discharged from the United
States navy? To both of these quea-
tions, the applicant Pritchard returned
a negative answer. Some time in March
the experts of the war department got
to work on these papers and thought
they had found a mares nest. 1t was
in effect that the new recruit was identi-
cal with Joseph ]. W. Pritcbard, who
was discharged from Jefferson Barracks,
No, in 1884, as having been illegally
enlisted while minor. That person is
described IS having been tatooed on the
breast with india ink, with the name of
"Jos. J. w. Pritchard." Hence the sec
retary of war ordered court martial to
be held, and notified General McCook
to that effect.
On examination the letters "Jos.
----ard'' were found on the mans
breast, with ample space between them
to have admitted the other letters form
ing the name of Jos. ]. W. Pritchard.
Therefore the physicians who testified
before the court had no hesitation in
pronouncing the two Pritchards to be
one and the same person. There were
one or two members of the court who
Thought it impossible for the name to
have become partly obliterated in go
short time, and they were in favor OF
giving the accused q benefit OF the
doubt. A majority of the court found
him guilty as charged and sentenced
him to be dishonorably dismissed from
the service
General McCook refused to accept the
verdict of the court-martial, on the
ground that there was q doubt and the
pricoueh tuurl ue given oho uohoho W
that doubt. The testimony Of the
officers under whom this man Pritchard
has served since his enlistment is a unit
as to his good character, soldierly be-
havior and uniformly excellent deport-
ment; and as there lie doubt of his be-
ing the same man, and as really good
cavalry soldiers are quite scarce, Gem
eral McCook disapproves the sentence
and says that Pritchsrd can stay in the
army as long as he likes.

There is some talk of throwing out
one of the games played last Sunday. 1t
is all nonsense. In the first place there
was an agreement between Managers
Lindley and Finn thai the second game
Sunday should be in place of the Thurs
day game scheduled for Stockton. There
was no morning game" played here,
and If any were to be thrown out the
second game Sunday afternoon would be
the one to be dropped. Should such &C.
tion be taken it will only raise the stand
ing OF the Angels just so mueh-the
very opposite of the animus OF the whole
scheme. DON'T let US hear anything
more about it.
