Private George T. Griffiths of Com
pany F, was today taken to the divis-
ion hospital suffering from nervous
prostration. His illness, it is thought,
is the result of worry over being pub
licly disgraced last Friday, when, by
direction of a court martial he was
stripped of his corporal's chevrons on
the parade ground in front of the whole
regiment, for having overstayed
town-pass twenty-four hours. A move
ment is afoot to have his case recon-
sidered, and by reason of his previous
good record is likely to succeed. 1t ap.
pears that he unfortunately witnessed
a short brawl and was gathered in by
the police and held over to give testi-
mony at police court the next morn
ing. The fact that he telegraphed to
his captain that he was detained at
the police station was not brought out
at the court martial. This and the
records of the police court, showing
that he was held simply as witness,
will, or at least ought to, mitigate in
his favor.
