A SERIOUS MATTER.
Charges in the Hackett Case not OF.
ficiaIIy Promulgated. I.
But the Stories Told by Captain Hac-
kett Are Widely Dinerent-If Con-
victed Penalty Is Severe.

As announced exclusively in THE NEWS
yesterday, Governor Brown has decided to
order Captain Bernard Hackctt to APP
pear before a court martial. The charges
are not yet announced and the COM
mander-in- -chief will not talk about the
matter, further than to say that the court
martial will be called. As the military
law allows the accused 20 days notice,
the court cannot meet until the last day
OF January.
Undoubtedly the principal charge will
be that OF making false returns on his
muster and pay rolls for the duty per-
formed by his company at the camp held
last year. 1t IL not improbable that he
will also have to defend himself upon the
serious charge OF sending an explanatory
letter to his superior officer, which in its
essential particulars was untrue.
1t was stated today by one who has had
an opportunity OF perusing the testimony
taken before the court, that the first plea
made by Captain Hackett threw the blame
for the mistake on the clerk of the COM
pany. This statement which he made in
q letter to General Dyer he withdrew
when on oath before the court, and claimed
that he made it upon the advice of his
attorney who thought it would hush the
matter up. 49,. .k q
The Captains Latest story.
Captain Hackett's latest story Is that he
made the pay rolls out before going to
camp upon the promise OF the men that
they would be present. He neglected to
alter the rolls when he found the men
did not put In appearance, and amid
the excitement of governors day
forgot all about the inaccuracy when he
handed them in. This spirit of forget
fulness itseems was not disturbed until the
adjutant general asked him for an expla-
nation of why he had five men on his
company's pay roll who were not in
camp.
The court martial now about to be held
will be most important in its results. 1t
should determine once and for all whether
or not the custom Of providing substitutes
to march in parade and attend the drills
so that company may make good show
ing, is to be countenanced; for il it is,
then Captain Hackett may probably
escape on the finding that he simply made
mistake, as he appears to have had
plenty of men around his company at
camp to make up for those who were
absent.
A Very Serious Matter.
This business Is more serious for Captain
Hackett than the average civilian may
imagine. II found guilty of making false
returns or OF violation of any duty i'm
posed upon him by law he may be pun.
ished by a fine not exceeding $500 nor less
than go, and by Imprisonment not ex-
ceeding six months, which of course
carries with it cashiering and the disabil-
ity of holding any military office hereafter
in the state. The accused will also have
to pay the cost IL the v,rd ct is against
him fr.
