GEN, CHASE
NOW on TRIAL
General Court Martial Convened
by Governor Peabody of Colora-
do Resumes It's Sittings.

Denver, Colo, Oct 20-The general
court martial, sitting at the state
capitol to try members of the National
Guard of Colorado, resumed it's ses-
sions today A number of witnesses
were sworn by the prosecution in the
case of Brigadier General John Chase,
who haa been commander of the guard
and is accused of perjury and disobedi-
ence of the orders of the commander
in-chief, Governor Peabody, and of
usurpation.
Adjutant General S. M. Bell, who.
made the charge will also be tried.
After lengthy argument upon the OBJ
lection of the counsel for General
Chase, to swearing witnesses OF
whom he charged, he had not received
proper notification that they would
be called, which was overruled, A. w.
Grant, clerk of the court of Teller
county, was called and testified as to
the proceedings in habeas corpus in
the case of w. S. Davis, confined in
the military prison at Cripple Creek.
1t is upon the return made by Gen
eral Chase to the effect that Davis
had been released that the perjury
charges are based. Attorney Elliott,
for the defense, then objected to the
endorsement on the charges filed
against Chase claiming that they
should bear the signature of the COM
manding general, certifying that they
had been duly investigated.
The court held that the endorse
ment of Governor Peabody, as made,
was sufficient, and overruled the OBJ
lection. Private Frank E. McElroy
then was called but did not respond
Judge Advocate Grier requested that
an attachment be issued for him and
that he be brought forthwith from
Cripple Creek.
The judge advocate asked that the
perjury charges be passed for the
present because of the absence OF Nc
Elroy and the disobedience charge
be taken up The defense objected,
and the court took a recess until this
afternoon, to consider the motion OF
the Judge advocate.
