SENTENCES MITIG
Punishment of Two Members of th.
Hospital COrDs

Gen. Wesley Merritt commanding the
Department Of the East, has issued the fol-
lowing orders in regard to two local cases
of a most unusual character:
Private Michael Byrnes, Hospital Corps,
United States army, having been tried bv a
general court-martial convened at WASH
ington barracks, and found guilty Of deser-
ton, was sentenced to be confined at hard
labor, under charge of the guard for one
year, and to forfeit $40 per month for the
entire unexpred period of his enlistment -
In the foregoing case the sentence; al
though extraordinary and unusual in char
acter, is approved, but is mitigated to con-
finement at hard labor. under charge of the
guard. for six months, with forfeiture of $40
per month for the same period. AS thus
mdgated the sentence will be duly exc
cuted at Washington barracks, D. C.
Private Thomas ]. Gowan, Hospital
Corps. United States army having been
tried by general court-martial convened
at Washington barracks, d. c., and found
guilty Of desertion, in violation of the for
ty-seventh article Of war was sentenced to
serve out the remainder of his term of en-
ltstment as required by the forty-eighth
article of war. and to suffer a forfeiture Of
50 per month during that period
In the foregoing case the proceedings
We're returned to the court for reconsidera-
ton Of its sentence, which was considered
extraordinary inasmuch it imposes for
feiture covering a period of nearly two
years and eleven months. Attention was
also called to the fact that the liability to
make good time lost by desertion, mention
ed in the forty-eighth article of war, was
not punishment, but attached as a result
Of violation of contract, and was enforced
independently Of the sentence of the court
under the provisions of A. r. 131.
The court adhered to its former sentence
and insisted upon the propriety of it's ac-
tion in requiring In the sentence that time
lost by desertion should be made good
quoting in support thereof General Orders
No. 40. adjutant generals office. of 1s43
The action Of the court in this latter par
ticular is unwarranted, the President hav-
ing long since abrogated the provisions of
the order cited in his regulations of 1857,
which were continued in force in subse-
quent editions of Army Regulations. and
are today part of paragraphs Nos 131 and
1872, regulations of 1895. Under these regu-
lations it is not the function of a court
martial to decide whether or not a deserter
shall make good time lost by desertion
This liability attaches to deserter what
ever his status or the disposition of his
case.
Subject to the foregoing remarks, and in
order that the prisoner may not escape all
punishment the sentence is approved. but
the period of forfeiture awarded is reduced
to six months. AS thus miligated the SEN
tence will be duly executed. Private Gowan
will be released from confinement and re-
turned to duty.
