Cadet HllaebranAt Conslders Court
Martial Sentence Unjust.

The publication in the Post-Intelligen-
Ger yesterday morning OF the proceedings
and result OF the court martial OF Fourth
Sergeant Roscoe Hildebrandt. of the high
school cadets added to the sensation.
which had already eclipsed commence
ment preparations.
ian Carkeek and John Dore. yesterday
made official application for "a new trial.
Three reasons are given why the applica-
ton should be granted. II Is claimed IN
the nrst place that the verdict. recon-
mending that Hildebrandt be dlshonorahly
dismissed from the company. is not in ac-
cordance with the evidence. The second
reason Is that Hildebrandt believes there
The third reason r. founded on the as
sumption that 1t was improper. although
legally. correct. for the judge advocate
general TO sit in deiiberauon with the
jury after he had acted solely as prose-
cutting officer.
I'VE are sorry" said Mr.. Carkeek last
eyepns de ss story has
to make of the story as stated. We feel.
however. that the verdict was not in ac-
cordance with the evidence, and that it Is
be given a new trial. We have made for
NAL application to Comma nder-in- Chief
Twitmyer. and expect his decision in the
near future.
.'It seems to me that the jury was I'M
necessarily severe In its recommendations,
even allowing that the charges were true.
The cadets are to certain extent connect
ed with the National Guard. although a
private company to all practical purposes.
As understand the law. dishonorable dis
missal from the cadets VIII have the enect
OF preventing Hiidebrandt from becoming
a member Of any company Of the National
Guard. You see that the sentence is far
reaching To an outsider theotalk OF a
court-martial among the high school ca
diets may not sound serious. but assure
you the case just gone through with was
a very serious matter. When Mr.. Hide
brandt asked me to represent him did
not think that anything serious was In
the air but I found out differently
..Our defense IL that Hildebrandt did not
do the things charged. The evidence was
not sufficient to convict, in my estimation
feel that IL we can get new trial We
can make a much stronger case"

he came 10 us with licenses showing that

licenses. When he applied 10 US he was

two years. and then we Endorsed his New

"In justice to Capt Brandow you might
