The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1899-09-05

For over fifteen months President
Mckinley has delayed confirming the
sentence of Capt. Garter for stealing
Sl,1C0,0O from the government, when
ordinarily he signs such DEGREES within
three months. In the meantime he has
tried every resource OF legal skill and
technical evasion to lind An excuse for
computing the sentence to something
light, but has failed. But his palpable
leniency is now giving Carter's friends
who have never heretofore produced
any %extenuating circumstances or e.
ouse in his favor to take courage and
come back at the prosecuting powers
aud now the mystery OF Carter's escape
thus far from justice becomes deeper
than ever. Frank p. Blair, counsel for
Carter, has filed an affidavit alleging
prejudice against Gen. Otis, president OF
tue court martial, and is demanding q
new trial. He believes Capt. Carter is a
victim Of conspiracy to degrade him, a
la Dreyfue, and holds Gen. Otis party to
the army conspiracy.
