THE PUNISHMENT TOO MILD.
So Thought tho Reviewing Onioer, But II
VIII be Executed just tho
Samr.

Washington, Oct. IA most unusual
case has been reported to the war de-
partmept. 1t Is that of Private Peter
j. Devine, Troop II. Eleventh cayal-
ry, who was tried by general court
martial at Fort Ethan Allen, VI, on
the charge of using disrespeetiul
words against the president of the
United States, in violation of the nine
teenth article of war"
1t appears from the evidence that
when the news of the shooting Of
President Mckinley was received at
Fort Ethan Allen, Devine expressed
great satisfaction over the crime and
applied an uncomplimentary 'pithet
to the late president. His comrades
roughly handled him before he could
be secured in the guard house. lie
was found guilty Of the charge lsS,the
! court and sentenced to be dishonora-
bly, discharged from the service tf the
United States, forfeiting all pay aud
| allowances due him, and to be con
fined at hard labor for one year.
The record of the case having been
returned to Ma. Gen Brooke, at New
York, commanding the department oi
the east, he indorsed it as follows:
at is the opinion of the reviewing
authority that the punishment is no
sufficient penalty for the dagiton
act the prisoner was found to hav
committed. 1t is not within the pow
err of the reviewing authority to in
crease the punishment; but in orde
that the prisoner may not wholly es
cape punishment, the sentence is at
proved, and will be duly executed a

the prisoner will be sent under IroI
