GUILTY
AS CHARGED.
Finding Of the Lowering
COurtmartial.
SENTENCED TOREPRIMAND
Court Lenient Because of Cool
Character of Accused.
THE PRESIDENT WILL REVIEW

Chicago, Nov 26.-The Tribune today
prints the following: ihe finding of the
cour martial is that tae accused Is guilty
as charged in the specifications, and;
.'He no reprimanded by the reviewing
authority. The court is thus lenient in
view of the good character OF the accused
as shown in the evidence,
The foregoing is according to the state
ment of IA N IN who knows, the exact ver-
dict of the courtmartial which has Just
completed its labors in the case OF Cap
tain Leonard a. Lowering of Fort Sheri-
dan, charged with rrutal treatment OF
Private Charles Hammond.
1t took the -courtmartial one hour TO
reach its decision. The first ballot re-
suited in seven members OF the court
martial voting guilty" and five mot
guilty"
The usual courtmsrtal is composed of
thirteen members but Major Randolph,
who had been detailed TO attend, was
unable To do so, and so twelve mep sat as
"A Jury TO decide the fate of CAPITA Low
ering.
There was vigorous effort made to
have those parts of the specifications
charging Cartain Lowering with
cruelty" and brutality" stricken out,
but it was finally decided to ccnsider II g
Us tDey WeTc stt lOTtH III lHS sIet-
ifications and the decision was reached
without making the change.
majority is conclusive OF courtmar-
tial findings, and so. after the fact Cf
guilt was established. the only thing o
be considered was the measure Of punish
ment.
The evidence showed that Captain Low
ering had been connected with the United
States military services for 25 years and
that his record had been a goou one. A
numher Of officers came out plainly and
said they would not vote for tndiD q
of guilty if Captain lowering was TO te
given humiliating punishment. IL YVES
argued that Hammond record when
pla cd by the side of Captain lowering IS
was of such character as unavoidably
TO gain some sympathy from the cou re
for the officer.
The finding of courtmarIial Is Sc
cret, under solemn OATH The mem bers
of the court are sworn not to divulRe the
finding or discuss it until it has reached
the proper authority. which in this case,
is President Mckinley. The Lowering
courtmartial is the result Of a direct
order issued by the President and he will
be reviewing officer in the case unless be
surrenders the responsibility to General
Alger. secretary of war
Lieutenant Colonel Hunter. Judge ad-
vccate of the court. Will have Lis record
completed today and this, with the find
ing, will be- forwarded TO Washington to-
night.
