whose testimony would
merely corroborate that already given
by others. This is taken to indicate
that the court thinks the issuing Of bad
beef, both canned and refrigerated,
has been fully proven, and that it only
desires evidence on other phases of the
case as the order converting the Court
makes 1t a part Of its duty to place the
responsibility for any wrong doing
found and IL is incOnceivable that so
much bad beef could have been bought
by the government without some guilt
among the purchasing oil inspecting
officials. OF course. nobody knows
what action the court will finally take,
but the opinion is growing stronger
that it will recommend court martials
for General Eagan and several other
officers, IL it does o express a positive
opinion of their guilt.
