COURT MARTIAL OVERRULE Ed.
General Otis Finds That Private
Burrell Did Not Desert.

Chicago. March 5.-AIajor General Otis
Commander Of the Department of tho
Lakes has issued orders disappearing the
finding of the court-martial which tried
Private George Burrell, Troop I, Fifth
Cavalry. and convicted him of desertion-
prisonment and dishonorable discharge. The
court was held at Fort Thomas, KY.
General Otis. in reversing the finding.
commented as follows:
1T Is to be regretted that the court. in
pride of opinion. should have rendered nee
essary such action by the reviewing author
ity as will permit the prisoner to escape
punishment entirely for his unauthorized
absence"
The trooper pleaded that he was merely
guilty of absence without leave, and IN this
contention he is sustained by General Otis.
