Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star
ATLANTA, Ga, April 21.-When the
Romeyn ccurt-martiel opened this morning
Lieut. OBrien, the plaintiff in the sensa-
tlonal case, was called to the stand, and
his cross-exanlination by Capt RomeyD
proceeded
OBricn persisted in the statement that
the only allegatioEs derogatory TO his
wife's character that had ever reached his
ears came from Romeyn. and tina, he did
not know that her relations with Lieut.
Bamford were the talk of the garrison.
Romeyn then boldly brought out the fact
that he had been court-martialed before
taking the position, doubtless, that mas
much as the exposure was inevitable il
would be best for him to force II. The case
was carried to President Grant, and one of
the last acts Of his last administration was
to order an investigation OF the case.
The verde. of this investigation was an
order to refund Capt. Romeyn the money
which had been stopped from his pay on
account of the sentence of the court, which
was done without delay. thus virtually set
ting aside the finding of the court.
All this Roneyn himself brought out by
skillful questioning today In order to head
off the opposition. There are several wo-
men now awaiting summons to the stand.
Fear of another personal encounter with
other weapons than fists is now alarming
the friends of both OBrien and Romeyn.
The feeling Is intense among the two fac
tions and growing more bitter daily.
