DEATH DUE TO NEGLECT.
Mother of SerEt. DobsOn Arraigns
the War Department

The letter which Major Borden sent 10
Surgeon General Sternberg, declaring
that the testimony given before the Alger
mother of the late Sergt Dobson was In
correct as to fact, has caused very tart
reply to be made by the grief stricken
parents of the unfortunate boy
Mrs. Dobson said yesterday. in speak
ing of the letter of Major Borden, that,
according to his own statement he was
testifying TO things which he had not
seen in trying to show that her son re-
ceived constant attention while on board
the Shinnecock She told of the difficulty
which she had in going aboard the trans
port when her son was transferred to
New York, and succeeded only by watch
ing her chance and slipping aboard un-
noticed
She remained at the side of her delirious
son during the entire voyage, and the
only food which he got was half glass
of milk and the medical attention con-
sisted in one visit from a medical attend
ant, who looked at the tag on her sons
blouse and then gave him one brown
wafer.
Mrs Dobson said that there was no
doubt that the moving killed her son, as
he was in a very weak condition and
unable to eat anything. In conclusion she
said both herself and her husband
thanked the papers and the many sympa-
thiZing friends for the kindness which
had been shown them in their affection.
I'VE cannot bring our boy back, but IL
by calling attention to his case We shall
in any way ameliorate the condition of
others, we shall not have called the at
tention of the Commission to his case in
vain, was her sorrowful conclusion.

LAWYER ATTACKS BENCH
Sensational Close Of Burke.

Scandal That stirred Up the Matter

Cleveland, o., Nov 23.-The closing of
the sensational ke-Dellenbaugh case
was also sensational. Judge Blandin. one
of the three prosecutors of the charges
against Vernon H. Burke rose to speak,
as everyone supposed, in support of the
charges that the State senator has SLAM
dered the judge.
Instead of doing that, the judge did not
attempt TO affirm or deny the truth OF
the charges, nor did he attempt to defend
Judge Dellenbaugh. He made a bitter
and sensational attack the whole
bench of Cuyahoga County. He said he
knew the risk he was taking, but he did
not care; others who thought the same
as he did were afraid to say so publicly,
and he warned them to be careful; he
was willing to face the consequences.
For some time the former judges and
old members who listened stood amazed.
Then they broke into cheers. When the
Judge finished they cheered again and
fell over each other to get 10 him TO con-
gratulate him.
judge Blandin declared it was the
bench which needed reforming first; the

mence with the bench. he said.
He went into details and did not hesi-
tate to say he was talking about Judge
Walter C. ong and Judge T. X Dissette.
He said it was a comparatively insignif-
cant thing whether Judge Delenbaugh
was impeached and driven from the
bench or whether Vernon Burke was dis
barred.
1t is more important, he declared, to
cleanse the bench of Cuyahoga County
SO that property. liberty and life may be
safe in the hands of the seven men con-
stituting the court. 1t was one of the
most sensational speeches ever made by
a lawyer in Cuyahoga county.
In brief, the charges were that State
Senator Burke had slandered Judge Del
lenbaugh in saying that the judge had
shared fees with Burke after he had gone
on the bench. Inquiry developed the fact
that Dellenbaugh and Burke had prac-
tically held up an erring young woman
for $4,000, which she paid rather than
expose herself.
