mutinous. and persons overhearing his
remarks made affidavit to that effect.

for by US as it was by him, and was
moro of an accident than design. Mr.
Walker himself Will tell YOU that the
order for his arrest was read to him two
minutes after he was arrested. 1t was
simply nonsense to say that he was con
lined because he pinned a court notice
on the Governors door
1T is trivial matter" contiued Col.
Williams. "Since Mr.. Walkers arrest.
We have hardly given the matter
thought, and his liberty was granted him
simply for the reason that to keep him
in confinement was not only a hardship
to him, but to us also. as we had made
no provisions for prisoners 1t will take
some time to get together the Judge Advo-
Gates and members of the courtmartial,
and we have no desire to inflict any need
less hardship on Mr.. Walker"

produced from the files the order for the
arrest. 1t is as follows:
