der them, both have rights and obli-
cations When. therefore. an officer
with the Intelligence and experience with
which Captain Lowering is credited not
only violates these laws. but exhibits
such z lack of humanity as IS shown n
this case he should receive q more Sc
we're sentence than a mere reErIruaud-
Committing such acts degrades the Of
