CONFESSED TO CAPT. WYNNE

Executive cleUency has been extended
to Charles f. McMulien, private in the
Marine Corps, who year ago was
sentenced b. court-martial to serve two
years Imprisonment for the theft of
stores from the quartermaster'S store
house. Three other men We're convicted
and sentenced with McMullen, and it
was due to the friendship McMullen bore
Capt Robert T. Wynne, son of Robert
j. WynDe, former Postnas ster General,
and now on his way to London as con-
sui general at the British capital, that
their theft were discover ed.
The clemency extended to McMullen
is due partly 20 the excellent record he
has made since he went to prison year
ago and partly to the interest taken in
his case by Lieut.. Gov. Joseph E. VIII
lard. OF Virginia. McMullen is Vir-
ginian and his family besought tie aid
of Captain Willard, who wrote to the
Secretary of the Navy in regard to Nc
Mullen's case. His letter was referred
through the proper channels TO Captain
Wynne, who returned it with strong
recommendation that Captain Willards s
request be granted.
Order Is Signed.
On April an order was signed to re-
lease MeMullen from confinement and to
dishonorahl discharge him from the
service. The order will become effective
in a few DAYS and McMullen will be set
free.
