public ct Cohoes N Y. Recently the army officer
who Is duty at Albany recruiting officer was

a witness in the case of an alleged deserter on
trial at Fort Jay. Under the regulations the off,
could have administered the oath himself and

Vent to Cohoes to see the witness and at such
times may take depOsitOns without employing
regular notary
