court of inquiry in the history of the
navy that held at the Brooklyn navy
yard to Investigate trouble in the
marine corps, has come to a sensation

mendatiOn which may result in very
serious consequences for an officer OF
high rank. Major @. II. Laucheimer
and Colonel F. l.. Denny charged Col
onel Robert L. Meade with drunkenness
on duty while at the Brooklyn navy
yard Colonel Meade replied by charg-
ing Major Laucheimer with king
false report and Colonel Denny with re-
porting against him (Aleade) in order to
cover up irregularities with contractors
on Denny's part.
The court OF inquiry acquitted Major
Laucheimer and Colonel Denny of Col
onel AIeade's charges It sustained the
charge against Colonel Meade and in
addition charged him with violation of
the navy regulations in replying with
a counter charge when asked for a re-
port and also of false swearing on the
witness stand. The court recommended
that the colonel be tried by court mar
tial upon these charges.
The court lasted four weeks breaking
all naval records for a court of inquiry.

18th day Of the trial Commander West.

The reasons for this set out was that
Commander West was by friendship
for Colonel Meade unable to act impair
