that Merriwether was acquitted on the
charge Of manslaughter but was found
guilty Of infringements Of the rules and
regulations Of the naval academy which
are OF sufficient seriousness to war

the hands OF the secretary OF the navy,

month from his work and would have
considerable difficulty in making It up.
Ho has written the secretary OF the
navy for permission to re-enter his

granted. The entire congressional dele
CATION from Louisiana is IN favor of
Merrlwether's retention in the service
and the members are determined To-
make a fight for him. They think the
courtmartial itself has brought out
facts enough TO show that Merriwether
would make a splendid officer.
