taking a general interest III the inquiry. IL
was the general impression that he was
present unoffcially at least as counsel for
General Miles. He said. however, that
this was not the case; that the enlisted men
being examined were from his own regiment
and that he was present simply because ne
was well acquainted with the Phase OF the
case on which they were test1fylng ana
might be able to aid the inquiry with sug-
gestons to the questions to be asked.
He Pointed out that as General Miles had
not been named as a defendant in convening
the court. therefore he could not be repre-
sented by counsel He dlsclalmed any
responsibility as counsel for General Miles,
or for any one else.

same, but he did not recollect ever seeing

seen some good and some bad. but he
thought the most Of it was tainted.
Sergeant Casey. Ninth Infantry. had the

had in Santiago was good, but outside of
Town the meat was buried often as soon as

Sergeant Francis Kidd, also of the Ninth
infantry, told very straightforward story
as 70 the canned and refrigerated meat. 1t
agreed substantially with the statements of
the other sergeants. He said much of the
refrigerator beef was tainted ard nearly
all the canned roast beef was thrown away:
but there were so many of the men sick and
unable 10 eat that the reduced ration went
around very well. Further than this Kidd
said that the flies would not light on the
reIrigerator meat and, although there were
myrads of flies and quantities of tainted
meat meat ne never saw any of it "hy-blown."
Part OF the tainted meat was trimmed and
the remainder used. but almost Is per cent.
