SENTENCE SET ASIDE.
Important Decision BY United
States Circuit Court.


by Regular Army Officers to Be Set
Free-Freedom of 200 Other Men
Involved In the Question Just
Decided.
st. Louis, Feb. II. - Established
precedents of the United States army
We're overthrown and the freedom of
nearly 200 men now confined in fed
eral penitentiaries was assured by a
decision rendered by the United States
circuit court of appeals in the case
Of Peter c. Deming, a former captain
Of United States volunteers, against
Robert w. McClaughry, warden of the
federal penitentiary at Fort Leaven-
worth. Deming was imprisoned on the
sentence of a court martial composed
Of nine regular army officers, con-
vened by General w. r. Shafter on
March 80, 1860. The opinion of the
circuit court, written by Judge Walter
S. Sanborn. is that the court martial
which sentenced Deming acted in vio-
lation of article n of the articles of
war which provides that officers of the
regular army shall not be competent
to sit ON court martials for the trial
of officers and soldiers of other forces.
The essential question as stated in
Judge Sanborns opinion is whether
the volunteer army is the same as the
regular army. or whether it is one of
the other forces" mentioned in ar.
ticle n.
The opinion establishes the fact that
the volunteer army is at all times dis
tinct from the regular army.
Deming will be released from the
Fort Leavenworth penitentiary within
60 days and all other former members
of the volunteer army who are con-
fined in federal prisons on sentences
inflicted by courts martial of regular
officers will also be liberated as the
result of the decision, it is stated.
Deming was a captain in the sub
sistence department of the volunteer
army. ne WIS COMMISSIONER uHutI
the act of 1899, providing for the en-
listment of soldiers for the Philippine
war. The charge against him related
to his accounts.
The court martial, composed of nine
officers Of the regular army, dismissed
Deming from the service and sent.
enced him to three years IN the penl-
tentiary. This sentence was affirmed
by the secretary of war and approved
by the president.
In June, 1898, Judge Advocate Gen
eral Lieber decided that regular army
officers might try volunteers under the
act of 1898. providing for the en-
listment of soldiers for the Spanish
war Under this ruling many cases
we're tried and sentences imposed.
The Deming case was the first In
which an appeal has been taken.
Judge Sanborn says in his opinion
that General Shafter was prohibited
by the laws of the United States from
constituting the Deming court mar
tial of regular army officers and that
the action of such tribunal is void.

itself when the regular morning exam.
ination was made by DR.. Shattuck and
DR.. Warren. Secretary Cortelyou, who
is the only means of communication
with the sick room, made the an
nouncement Of the patients serious
condition although he said then it was
not alarming:
His temperature is higher" said
Mr.. Cortelyou, "and his respiration Is
weaker than yesterday, but his pulse
is better"
He also said that there was no i'm.
mediate change, but only the natural
progress of the disease. In conclu.
sion he announced that the disease
had spread and involved both lungs.
The sudden and unfavorable turn
warned the president that the most
skilful medical treatment was neces.
sary, ana so he called to the aid of
Drs. Shattuck and Warren his family
physician, DR.. Alexander Lambert Of
New York, an eminent practitioner and
a man well acquainted with the boys
physique. The decision to call DR..
Lambert was made after consultation
of the physicians and the president
and the doctor left New York at
noon, arriving here shortly after G
o'clock.

wrecked by the shock. 1t is sup

food for the fire and in an instant the
flames had enveloped the structure.
With a roar the building collapsed and

The direct cause Of the explosion is
not known, but all indications show
that it was due to escaping gas in the
