About the Camp
Yesterday.

Yesterday morning at Santa Monica
the court was convened by O. @. Brown
of Pasadena, Judge Bartholomew being
made Judge.
Commander Kutz WAS announced as
the prisoner. He could not be found. so
several substitutes for prisoners we're
brought in and charged with various
crimes. At last Com msnder Kutz was
found and brought up before the court.
He was charged with the crime of high
treason, having issued orders for court
martial to be held and to convene at 10
o'clock. As he was not at the tent at
10 o'clock, and was off somewhere else
this was construed as charge of high
treason. Several witnesses were brought
up. Among them were Mrs. Davis, Mrs.
Hickey and Comrade Seymour. They
testified as to his character and what
they knew about the case. The csse
against the commander was very poorly
made out. But the court when be
charged the jury, said that from his
locks he was guilty, but that on the
plea of insanity his punishment might
be lessened. So the jury acquitted him
on the plea OF insanity, with the proviso
that his case should be turned over to
the W. r. O. court-martial later.
