FACES SERIOUS CHARGE
George Hull's Case Under In.
vestigation Of the Federal
Grand Jury.
1t is Alleged That He Secured

Pretense.
Records Show That He Deserted

Peculiar.
Special to Times Republican

| Special to TimeS-Republican
| Cedar Rapids, Sept. 10.-The most
interesting case which is to come be-
fore the grand jury at this term of the
United States district court is that of
the government vs.. George Hull, resi-
dent of Central City, this county. The
grand jury will be called upon, it is
said, to investigate two charges against
Hull, one for perjury and one of an Off
er to bride.
Hull was member Of Company "A,
First Michigan volunteer light infantry.
In 1884 he filed a claim for a pension
under the general law alleging that
while in the service of the government,
as soldier at Chattanooga, Tenn, he
lost one of his big toes. This was, the
claimant alleged, in 1864, and he fur
Their stated that about the same time he
contracted disease of the eyes. He re-
iterated these statements in subsequent
affidavits and went so far as to partic-
ularize the manner in which he lost his
big toe. He said that he was assigned
to the duty of caring for some artillery
horses and that while he was leading
some of them down a steep bank to
water they crowded upon him and
tramped upon him, breaking off the big
toe of his left foot. The toe was found
in his shoe, he said, and did not have
to be amputated by the army surgeon.
His foot, he said, had been bound up by
a Dutch doctors"
The claimant said that about the
same time he contracted disease of the
eyes and they would get red and angry
and Jumps would form on the eyelids.
The claimant was allowed pension,
but subsequently it was learned that
the pensioner had formerly deserted
from regiment of Ohio infantry. An
investigation was made which develop
ed that Hull did not lose his toe in the
war but that he lost it when a mere
boy. Also that he had been troubled
with weak eyes from his youth up and
that they were not materially worse
when he came out Of the army than
when he was a lad
The charge is that of offering bride.
1t is alleged that he wrote a letter from
pensions saying that If the commission
er would put his claim thru in ninety
days and give him a good fair pension,
he would give. the commissioner 500
out of the first pension money he re-
ceived. Before Special Examiner Rep
pert Hull testified that he induced
Ralph w. Emerson of Central City to
write the letter for him, and that he
told Mr.. Emerson to make the offer of
500. He said that If the commissioner
had given him pension of $24 month
he would have given him 500, but he
would not have given him anything if
his pension had only been increased SO
to 81 month more than he was then
getting.
1t is understood that the case against
Hull is so strong that the grand jury
is practically certain to return an in
dictment.
