CASE OF PRIVATE HAMMOND.
Inquiry Closes with the Declaration Of Col
Hall That Lowering Was Right.


Hall That Lowering Was Right
Chicago, Oct 25.-The military court
OF inquiry which has been investigating
the alleged brutal treatment Of Private
Hammond at Fort Sheridan on Oct
concluded taking testimony Saturday
evening. Saturdays testimony coro-
horated the reports of the methods used
in enforcing the presence Of the OBJ
streperous prisoner before the summary
court on Oct. 8. Hammond's injuries,
however, were belittled by the officers
who testified. Major Lippincott, post
surgeon, swore that the wounds were
of no importance-mere abrasions He
had been unable to find a sign of injury
on the mans body except slight cut
on the shoulder and similar wound on
each leg.
Colonel Robert Hall, commandant Of
the post, almost the last witness called,
said: IF il was necessary to prod Ham
mond with a sword or to kick him in
order compel him obey the order
regard il as perfectly justifiable. There
might come an occasion when it would
be necessary TO run him through with
bayonet. No man who has the slight
est idea OF military discipline, or what
military discipline means, could for a
moment unfavorably criticise Captain
Coverings actions. / approved his ac-
tions then and / shall approve them
now"
In a signed statement to the court
Captain Lowering says that the only
way to have gotten Hammond to the
court room other than the way he was
taken would have been to carry him,
and as that was just what Hammond
said would have TO be done, to have
done so would have been clear victory
over lawful authority by a man who
was defying that authority, and utterly
destructive of discipline

As to the Bones.

were not human. Neither DR.. Airport
nor the experts for the defense. who
were chiefly veterinarians, were able to
assign the bones to- any animal with
the exception of the thigh.
William Charles, Luetgert's closest
friend, positively stated he had helped
Luetgert dump four barrels OF tallow
and bones in the vat on the night OF
May / to make soap with, and other
witnesses confirmed the claim Of the
defense that Luetgert was making SOAP
on the night of May ].
Since Luetgert's arrest the claim has
been made that Mrs. Luetgert has ap-
peared in at least 100 different cities
from Nebraska TO New York city. Some
of these were investigated, and In ev-
cry case but one the defense's assertion
was exploded. That was the defense
claim that Mrs. Luetgert was seen a.
Kenosha, and in the opinion Of the state
