conduct unbecoming an officer and a
ger tleman. and of conduct to the pre-
iudice of good order and discipline, and
of the specifications thereto, and has
been sentenced to dismissal from the
United States army. but with q recon =
mendation from the court for the exer-
else of executive clemency.
Under the regulations. the court,
having reached the conclusion that the
accused was guilty. had no choice in
selecting a penalty, the regulations
prescribing absolutely the one punish
ment-dismissal--for the offence,
Therefore. the only hope for Gen. Ea-
gan is in the direction of Communication,
mitigation or disapproval.
Col. Davis, the judge advocate of the
court-martial finished his revision of
the record of the courts proceedings
and at once placed the papers in the
hands of Secretary Alger. This action
settled at once any doubt that may
have existed as to the routine to be
pursued in the treatment of the case.
AS soon as Secretary Alger has read
the record he will place it with the
President. who under the law is the
final reviewing authority. 1t is his
privilege to add to or take from the
strength of the courts recommendation
that clemency be shown. The indica-
tions are that the papers will be in the
Presidents hands early next week.
