STORY OF THEIR MYSTERIOUS
DISAPPEARANCE.

A Washington Paper Says They Have
Disappeared From File In the
Judge Advocates Omce, While
Another story HAS Them safely
stored In Secretary AIger's Private
Ofiice - Attorney General Griggs
Has Never Had the Case Referred
to Him-No One Able 10 Explain
the Long Delay In the Case.
Washington, Sept. 2O-An effort is being
made by certain newspapers to force the
publications of the findings in the court
martial case of Capt. Carter.
A sensational STORY was printed in a To-
cal paper yesterday stating that the pa
pers in the Carter case have mysterlously
disappeared from the file of the judge adj
vocate generals Office and no one appears
to know what has become of them.
The case was tried in Savannah more
than six months ago and the verdict OF
the court martial was against Carter.
The war with Spain came, and. in the
meantime, the Carter case was buried in
the rush of preparations for war
AS soon as 1t became known that the de-
cision of the court martial was adverse to
Carter his influential friends endeavored
to have the findings reviewed by the civil.
instead Of the military, authorities in the
judge advocate generals office 1t was said
that Capt. Carter's friends suggested that
these papers be referred to Attorney Gem
eral Griggs for final review declaring that
they would be entirely satisfied with his
report on the proceedings. 1t is said that
the papers In the case are safely deposited
In Secretary Algers private office, and
they have never been referred to the de-
partment of justice.
Attorney General Grlggs stated to the
Morning News correspondent to-day that
he may have heard of the Carter case,
but has not been referred to his de-
partment for action, directly or indirectly.
Just why final action upon the findings
OF the court martial has been so long de-
layed no one connected with the adminls-
tration is prepared to say.
In the meantime Capt. Carter's friends
are hopeful that something will turn up
to relieve him from the modification OF
submitting to the findings of court.
