ficer of the Independence.
Washington, Sept. 5-By direction
Of the President. Lieutenant Edward
H. Dunn, U. s. N. was dismissed
from the service of the United States
yesterday
Lieutenant Dunn was attached to
the receiving ship Independence at
the Mare Island California; Navy
Yard. and was recently convicted by
courtmartial of scandalous conduct
to the prejudice of good order and
military discipline, and sentenced to
dismissal.
The charge against Dunn was
chiefly based upon his action in en-
tertaining aboard the Independence
Miss Marion Churchill, a young wo-
man of Vallejo. 1t was shown at the
trial that they had participated in a
revel in which quantities of liquor
were consumed, and that when Dunn
was ordered by Captain Harber to
put the woman off the ship he re-
fused, until Captain Harber threat
ened to have her thrown off.
Dunn's defense was that he had
been drinking and was mentally ire
sponsible.
