DECISION IN A PENSION CASE.
Assistant Secretary Reynolds Reverses a
Ruling Made by Raum.

Assistant Secretary Reynolds Reverses a
Ruling Made by Raum.
WASHINGTON, March S.-Assstant Sec.
rotary Reynolds has rendered decision
in the pension case of Mary +. Walker
under which class OF meritorious
claimants heretofore excluded will be
pensioned under the act OF June 81, 1890
The claimants husband served over
ninety days and was honorably dis
charged. He re-enlisted, and while serv-
ing his second term was killed, but not
in the line of duty. His widows claim
for pension was rejected by Commits
sioner Raum on the ground that he had
not been honorably discharged from his
second term OF service. Assistant Secre-
tary Reynolds says in his opinion:
"While the rules laid down in the
cases cited If strictly adhered to would
constrsin ne to affirm the action of the
late commissioner of pensions in reject.
ing this claim. yet the case here pre-
scented is one coming within the spirit
and letter OF the law and fulfilling all the
requirements thereof for the allowance of
widows pension under the third Sec
ton of the Act, 30 far as relates to SER
vice apd discharge. To reject this claim
because OF death in q second term of SER
vice would be doing violence to the plain
intent of the law, for death was final
termination of his service, and it cannot
be said that it is equivalent to dishonor-
able discharge.
Had the soldier not re entered the
military service after receiving his honor
able discharge from his first term he
would clearly have been entitled to a
pension under the plain terms of the act,
and his widow upon his death would also
have been pensioned. Why, then,
should his re-enlistment and death in
subsequent service 80 initiate against his
first term of service as to preclude his
widow from the benefit of the act? 1t is
true his death ia not shown to be the re-
suit OF his army service or incurred in
line of duty, but The answer to this is
that the law Of June 81, 1890, imposes no
such conditions. On the contrary, it in
express terms grants her a pension with
out proving his death to be the result OF
his army service.
Il am of the opinion that when a
soldier, who has served term OF enlist
ment Of ninety days or more and been
honorable discharged therefrom, re. en-
lists, and dies during his subsequent
term, which death is not the result of
of any law, rule or regulation OF
the military or naval service, the re-
quirements OF the act of June q, 1890, as
to length OF service and honorable dis |
charge are fulfilled, and his widow is en- !
