 l BOUND TO OBEY ORDERS. | Colonel Callahan said that as citi- zen he knew there was a law against the selling of beer, but as a soldier he was bound to obey orders.
 AS a soldier you have a right to dis obey an order that is manifestly ille- gal" said Attorney Danaher. l NO, sir not in that broad sense, replied Colonel Callahan. Correcting himself, Colonel Callahan said that of course he would disobey an order that was manifestly illegal. | The order of the colonel was not mani festly illegal.
 | MT. Danaher asked COnonel Calla- | han at whose request he withdrew the | first charges against Captain Bradley. | Colonel Callahan replied that an an swer to that question would require a lengthy explanation. Mr. Danaher de manded an answer without the eXpla- nation. Colonel Callahan appealed to the court, and Colonel Thompson said that the previous ruling applied to this question and that Colonel Callahan would have to answer 1t.
 General Van Keuren," replied the witness.
 What did he say to you?"
 Colonel Callahan said that General Van Keuren told him he had two re- signations from Captain Bradley, one dated February r, 19OO and the other dated March 15, 1900. He asked Gene ral Van Keuren why he wanted two resignations. General Van Keuren re- piled that if Captain Bradley did not do certain things be would accept his first resignation. General Van Keuren also stated that 1t was the governors wish that Colonel Callahan should withdraw his charges and that it would please him very much if he would, Colonel Callahan then said to General Van Keuren that he considered the gover- nor's wish a command and would with draw the charges.

vate conversations between superior of- ficers which did not affect the guilt or innocence of Captain Bradley. MT Danaher asked Colonel Callahan | if the adjutant general didn't tell him that his application to have Captain Bowen placed in charge of Co. I had been refused. Colonel Callahan refused to answer the question.
 You may decline-you asked for the investigation,' replied MT. Danaher.
 The court retired to consider whether the witness would be compelled to an- swer the question. The court overruled the objection of Colonel Callahan. The question was repeated and Colonel Cal lahan replied: Not in so many words. "
 What did he say?"
 He said, in reply to my question why my request for the appointment of Captain Bowen to the command of the company was refused, that they were considering the matter" replied Cap tain Callahan.
 Colonel Callahan repeated with em- phasis that he did not tell Adjutant General Van Keuren or Brigadier General Frost that Captain Bradley was going to be put under arrest. The arrangements that were made for the inquiry in Meriden were made by him. self. He asked Lieutenant Kramer to secure him a stenographer, notWith- standing that Captain Bradley was in command of the company.
 Didn't you know that all communica- tions in which Company I was inter- ested should be made through the com- manding ohicer?"
 No, sir"
 MT. Danaher read rules 439, 462 and other rules relating to the communica- tions between officers and their supe- riors. Colonel Callahan replied that the commanding officer of the regiment had the power to exercise certain dis cretion Lieutenant Kramer reported a breach of military law by the captain. Colonel Callahan said he did not know anything about the alleged drunken ness of Captain Bradley in camp, until December 26, 1899. At the hearing in Meriden he heard six witnesses for Captain Bradley. He hadn't time to hear all the witnesses.
 Your mind was receptive when you went to Meriden, wasn't it?" asked MT. Danaher.
 T hope so.'
 And you wanted to receive informa- tion against Captain Bradley?"
 ''No, sir; I have no desire to injure any one" replied Colonel Callahan.
 MT. Danaher asked Colonel Callahan negatively if he had ever heard any thing against Captain Bradley before October 23.
 'Oh, yes, I did"
 What did you hear?"
 "Oh, that's an awful long story" re- piled Colonel Callahan.
 Colonel Callahan said that Captain. Bradley had spoken to him on money matters in New Haven. Witness said he had indorsed Captain Bradley's ap- plicaton to be placed on the retired list.
 'The retired list of officers is an her.
 Tt has always been thought so here tofore," replied Colonel Callahan.
 Colonel Callahan said in explanation of his indorsing Captain Bradley's ap plication to be placed on the retired list that he did not believe the captain was guilty of the things which he had heard against him, when he made the He denied that he ever stated to MT Orr, of the New Haven Palladium that a letter which he had 1 received from Captain Bradley had of tended his dignity.

MT. Danaher asked the colonel why he wanted to have the captain placed on the retired 1 list.
 T thought it was the least of two evile' replied Colonel Callahan.
 You didn't care much about the re- tired list?"
 T don't know; I haven't thought much about it.

Colonel Burpee was present. Witness did not ask Captain Bradley to attend his office, but Colo nel Burpee may have asked him to at- tend. He told the brigader- general that it was not their province to deter mine whether Bradley was guilty or not.

 Yes, sir replied Colonel Callahan MT. Danaher produced the following letter, which Colonel Callahan ad- dressed to the captains of the coinpa- nies of the Second regiment, as lieuten- ant-colonel, on September ', 1898:
