Broussard Satisfied.

MT. Broussard expressed his satsfac- tion with both, and II is understood that no congressional action will be asked in the case. AS soon as the necessary copies could be made. Secretary Bonaparte or dered that the sentence of the court and his review be made public. The seere- tary says there ls perhaps room for some doubt whether the punishment imposed might not have been made more justly severe. and dlsapDroves the action of tho court in sustaining the challenge of Com mandor s. A. Staunton as n member of the court on the ground of prejudice, and in failing to sustain the challenge of Rear Admiral A H. Mccormick, II. S. N. re- tired, on several grounds.
 In his review of the case the secretary says.
 Under the first charge thore was but one specification of which the material portion alleged that the accused at n time and place specified did then and there with his fists upon the body and head of the aforesaid James k. Branch. Jr., un- lawfully and wlfully, strike Il number of blows from the effects of which the said James k.

 Acquttal Approved.
 The department approves these findings and the acauittal The specification was drawn up on Information as to the cause of the late Midshipman Branch's death which the department had prior to the autopsy performed during the trial. That autopsy disclosed certain facts which might Justify a reasonable doubt wheth- CT the death was in fact due to blows inflicted by tho accused, there being at least a possibility that 1t resulted from a fall of which several occurred during the fist fight in which these blows were dealt. There is ground to claim with some force "that the manner ma means'' whereby the accused hdid kill and slay'' tho deceased. were not those set forth In the specification. This contention Is cer- tainly narrow and technical and the de- partment Is not to be understood az en- dorsing it the accused was undoubtedly entitled to the benefit of any reasonable doubt and the record discloses a stnte of proof which If it did not compel at least justified an acquittal of this charge. Of the second and third charges of both of which the accused was found guilty. the secretary says there was prnc- tlcally no dispute of tho facts and the department has no hestency in approving the several findings of the court, lastly

ISCENT MOOD.
Memories Of Departed Personal
Friends With Whom He Worked
Crowd Memory Of OId-Timer In His
MONDAY Strolls.

Strolling along the corridors of the
dreamy and meditative mood, an old
clerk, who admits that he has passed
the time of life allotted to man by DR..
Osler, was accosted by a representa-
tive of the Washington Star, who
proffered the traditional penny for
his thoughts.
WELL" said he, 81 am thinking Of
the many men | have met III this
building in my long career, and par
ticularly of three hat | knew very

person, at least everybody in Wash

eye, Horatio,'" he quoted, as the Star
man evinced a disposition to get a
glimpse Of the old author himself.

personally also. and recollect when
his Office vas moved into It's more
spacious quarters in the new north
ern wing of the building. That old
guardian of the public moneys was
e~verybody's friend. Visitors to Wash
tngton were always anxious to greet
him. and they were gratified, for he
was glad to meet strangers all the
time. Lord, how the women in his
bureau loved him, and the nsen also.

came. and here when he went.
There is another man that I met In
a spiritual sense, as l take this pedes-
trian exercise at almost every noo
hour after have disposed of my bread
and cheese luncheon. and that was
Walt Whitman, the poet. He was.
like the others, my personal friend.
He wal not in this part Of the build
Ing. but in that section of the new
southern wing allotted in those days
to the encouragement, when the de-
partment of Justice had its local habi-
tation under this roof. remember
when Whitman's Leaves Of Grass
grated too harshly upon the sensibili-
ties of certain people. and he lost his
place in one Of the other departments.
There Is NJ use In describing him
to you. Everybody In the city knew
Walt Whitman, but I only mention
him as the third in the trio Of ghosts

ercise in these passages.
There are men in this department
older than I am" he concluded, "but
I doubt II any Of them enjoyed the
close personal friendship Of the three
I have mentioned to you.
'In those days we worked only
until 3 o'clock in the afternoon" he
sid with a sigh. Now we peg away
IN hour and a half later. Things have
changed in a hundred ways: but
times up-I must go back to my
desk" And thus the old employe OF
the reminiscent mood bade the Star
man adieu.
