WOOSTER, Ohio Aug. 23.-General
Minor was on the stand this morning.
Mrs. Taggart's attorneys asked the
court to throw out of the evidence
Minors report to the war department,
in which he admitted there were de-
merits against Taggart which should
not have appeared. The court refused
the motion. Minor said this morn
ing in correction of his testimony of
yesterday that his first order given
after Taggart's arrest was to Lieuten-
ant Fortescue ordering MIN to stay
away from Taggarts house.
The general said he wasn't drunk at
the dinner party. He said that while
cocktails were served at the start, and
wine was on the table, he drank very
little. the official record of Captain
Taggart's confinement at the hospi-
tai was introduced.
1t showed "sick in line of duty July
.,
his company after July g." Minor
thought Taggart was mentally unba1-
anced, as many officers were from
campaigning in the Philippines. He had
him locked up for observation. Colon
ell Hoff reported that he found no signs
of mental disturbance. Minor ordered
him released several days later. A
copy of the report Minor made &C Hne
