EAGAN'S JUDGES
The Court Martial Convened YeSter.
day Morning.

: Washington, Jan. 25.-The board of
army officers designated to sit as d
court martial in the case of Brigadier-
General Charles P. Eagan, charged
with conduct unbecoming an officer and
a gentleman and of conduct to the
prejudice OF good order and military
discipline, met this morning and pro-
ceeded to business.
The court consisted of Major-General
Wesley Merritt, Major-General ]. s.
Wade, Major-General M. C.. Butler.
Majcr-General S. B. M. Young, Briga-
die1-General Royal T. Frank, Brigadier-
General George A. Randall. Brigadier-
General Jacob Klein. Brigadier-G
eral Richard Comb, Col. Peter C.
Haines, Col. George L. Gillespie, Col.
Charles c. Ruter, Col Francis L.
Guenther, Lieutenant-COlonel George
Davis, deputy judge advocate general,
judge advocate OF the court.
General Eagan pleaded mot guilty
to the charges and his attorneys made
a statement of the line of defense, say
ing Eagan was fully protected in using
the language he did by the laws of the
land, adding that the president OF the
United States had instructed the war
investigating committee to announce
publicly that witnesses before the tri-
bunal would be given immunity for
whatever they might testify to.
Continuing, the attorney said Cen
eral Alger had said that under the
presidents order of immunity General
Miles could not be held responsible for
his language before the committee.
The newspapers had goaded General
Eagan almost to desperation. He had
come to believe that the press and the
country at large had accepted the accu-
sations made by General Miles as true
and the condition of his mind grew
worse and worse until he was in
state bordering On distraction. The
language General Eagan used under
the circumstances was the natural out
burst Of an honest man suffering I'M
der an unjust accusation.
Word came from the White House
that the president would receive the
OF the court. Thereupon Gen
eral Merritt announced that the court
would take recess for the purpose of
paying its respects to the president.
