The sessions of the Meriwether court
martial will be held in the regular court
room In the old recitation shed and will be
open in a measure. The general public Will
not, however be admitted. In fact only
norton of the representatives of the press
will be allowed to attend the sessions and
report the proceedings. This is on account
of the fact that the room in which the ses-
sions will be held is too small to admit of
any great number being present outside of
those forming the court and the witnesses
who will be examined. An arrangement
will be made, however 1t is said by which
all papers will be represented. 1t Is fur
Their understood that the papers will be per-
mitted to print the proceedings fully, there
beine no press censorship of their copy of
the proceedings.
