THE CASE OF MR.. FoWLKEs.

The special committee appointed by
the Sons of Confederate Veterans in
Richmond to examine the evidence and
report its findings in the case of Com.
mander Minetree Fowlkes presented
the result of it's investigations to that
body last night. The camp resolved
itself into court-martial and tried the
accused upon the six charges referred
to the committee. The committee in
its report found Commander Fowlkes
guilty of four and not guilty of two
charges. The charges upon which he
was found guilty were conduct unbe-
coming a gentleman; that while com
mander of the camp he gave the
Mahood- Massey resolutions to a re-
porter against the wishes of that body,
but with no intent to defeat them; that
be procured his appointment on the
history committee while in the employ
of a publishing company, and that he
swore falsely before the investigation
committee in regard to his meeting
with Messrs. Massey and Womack on
the night of the defeat of the Massey
resolutions.
The committee found Mr.. Fowlkes
not guilty of taking bride of $50 for
opposing the Massey resolutions before
the camp and not guilty of the charge
of false swearing in his testimony re.
garding the delivery Of the Massey
resolutions to areporter.
MIR. Fowlkes submitted q paper in
which he gave the circumstances under
which his acts were committed and
threw himself on the mercy of the
camp. The camp sustained the find
ings of the committee as to his acquit-
tai upon the charge of bribery, but
voted down that finding which declar-
ed that the evidence did not show he
swore falsely in testifying that he did
not give newspaper reporter the Mas
sey resolutions. Upon both of these
charges the accused pleaded not guilty.
The camp finally adopted a resolu-
ton reducing Commander Fowlkes to
the ranks. directing that he be repri-
manded by the presiding officer of the
camp, and suspending him from the
camp for eighteen months.
