RIGHTS OF CoURTs-MARTIAL.
They Cannot Impose Sentences Re
stricted 70 the Civil Courts.

Washington. Dec. IA special to the
Post from Norfolk. Va. says: Judge
Robert W. Hughes Of the United States
court to-day delivered a lengthy opinion
in the case OF Pay Clerk D. b. sayre Of
the United States receiving ship Franklin,
who was recently convicted by court mar
tial Of embezzling about 5000 of funds
OF the navy department and Paymaster
Cam. The opinion is anticipatory Of a
decree setting aside so much of the court
martials verdict as sentenced Sayre to
Two years confinement in the naval pris-
on at Boston, but does not prevent his
dishonorable dismissal from the United
states naval service. In concluding his
opinion, Judge Hughes says: But when
court martials exceed the limits prescrib-
ed by law in their findings. and pronounce
sentences solemnly inhibited by the para
mount law Of the land. the civil courts
are bound to interfere TO stay the military
hand- In such cases. the civil courts dare
not refuse to pronounce against military
usurpations Of power. however honestly
and conscientiously committed and how
ever honorable and distinguished the Of
hcers may be who unadvisedlv transcend
the limits Of just authority"
me judge says he does not feel called
upon TO interfere with the sentence of the
court martial. except with that part
which consigns the petitioner to an in
famous punishment. Such a punishment
cannot he says, be inflicted upon anv
citizen of the United States in a time of
peace on land and in close proximity to
the civil courts except through Indictment
OF grand jury, and upon verdict of his
peers
The decree renting the two years
Imprisonment will issue on the 14th inst.

sayre bailed for his appearance at that
time. Counsel for the government will file
exceptions preparatory to appealing from
Judge Hughes decision"

hear. Twenty years. She had been
a slip of a girl then, awkwardly con-
scious of her first long dress;
and Robert, boy scarcely
older than herself, had blushed
and stammered over the story that is
never easy to tell.
And then his father had died, and
his mother and sisters; and, later on,
"a family of little orphaned nephews
and nieces had been left to him.
Dolly was the first to say they must
wait. She could see how impossible
it would be for Robert to take care of
them all. He left school and worked
bravely on the old farm, and the wait
ing had gone on,
SO twenty years crept away. Dolly
had remained in her aunt's home,
helping with the children at first, and
afterward working down town; for
her aunt's daughters needed every
thing, now that they were grown up,
and Dolly was used to looking out for
herself.
And now the waiting was over at
last, and she would be Roberts wife.
She would rather have waited for this
