Fear That . Personal Attack May 10 Mado
on the Accused Onicer.
ATLANTA. Ga, April $3.50 strained have the
relations between Capt. Romeyn, now on trial
at Fort Mcpherson by court.martial, and Lieut..
O'Brien, his accuser, become that the COM
mandant has furnished q guard to Romeyn to
escort him to the court room.
In his testimony yesterday, In which he re-
hearsed the events which have eliminated in
this court-martial, 80 excited and imprisoned
did Capt. Romeyn become that no used a per-
sonal epithet concerning Lieut.. O'Brien which
in this region has always been considered as a
justification for shooting. Recognizing the grav-
ity OF the situation, Major Charles Porter. at
present commanding the fort, ordered that Capt.
Romeyn be escorted from his quarters to the
court room by the officer of the guard and TWO
men, and it Is understood that the guard has
instructions to protect Romeyn at any hazard.
A junior Lieutenant at the post said to-day:
If it had not been for the interposluon Of his
friends I am sure Lieut.. O'Brien would have
done something rash and the c~ourt-martial
would have come to a sudden end. Happen TO
know that O'Brien was furious when he heard
Romeyn's words. As soon as what had taken
place in the court room was known Capt. Ran
dali, tho Captain q O'Rrien's company. went
straight to O'Brien's honse. Other friends Of
physical condition"
Mrs. Romeyn said this morning.:
w have been warned that there was danger
OF violence TO Cap. Romeyn from Mr.. O'Bricn
or Mr.. Bamford, but my husband Is not in the
least afraid. He will be able to take care of
himself In case any violence Is attempted"
The court-martial to-day heard rebuttal testi-
mony from Col. Russell and Capts. Borden and
Wales. 1t was all favorable to the conduct OF
Mrs. O'Brien and Lieut.. Bamford, and showed
that the adverse comment on their relations
had not been so general as the defence had rep
resented. Capt. 4. l.. Randall, who was a mem
Der OF a former court-martial that tried Capt.
Romeyn, was called upon to identify a copy of
the official proceedings OF that court-martial by
which Capt: Romeyn was sentenced to one
years loss of pay and to be reduced to the ranks
for negligence In permitting Government prop
erty to be removed from his custody when no
could have prevented 1t. Romeyn will intro
duce evidence to prove that he was finally vim
dictated in his sur.rebuttal. The court then ad-
journed until tomorrow morning.
A handsome solid silver loving cup was pre-
scented to Capt. Homeyn by the members Of his
company yesterday afternoon. The tribute,
coming as 1t did. while the Captain was on trial
before a court.martial, was especially appre-
ciated by tho receiver. The cup is 1919 inches
