true that the Secretary OF War had decided that
no further proceedings should be taken against
Captain Thomas NJ. Rees, Corps OF Engineers,
u. s. A. for his visits TO ex-Captain Oberlin NJ
Carter since the latter has been imprisoned at Gov
ernor's Island. The Tooth Article Of War. as told
in The Tribune yesterday. provides that ut shall
be scandalous" for officer associate with any
officer who has been dismissed from the service
for cowardice or fraud" When Captain Rees was
called by the War Department to account for
his visits 10 exCaptain Carter since the latter
dismissed from the service. he said that he was
ignorant OF the provisions of the Tooth Article OF
War, and gave a satisfactory explanation Of his
visits, promising at the time discontinue
them. General j. NJ. Wilson Chief of Engineers,
then recommended that the matter be dropped.
Captain Rees IS innocent" said General Merritt
yesterday. land Secretary Root decided that al
though ignorance of the law Is no excuse. the cir
cumstances OF the case showed that II would be
fairest and most just to proceed no further in the
matter. Captain Rees is the only officer who has
visited ex-Captain Carter In an unofficial way
since the latter has been confined here"
