officially Nothing is Known at the
War Department at Washing
ton Regarding Charges.
In the Meantime Capt Haight Goes
About the Post NonchaIently and
Assumes Indifference.

That court martial at Fort Douglas
is "a nine days WONDER not only at
the post. but In town. No one corr
nected with the trial will say one soli-
tary word, and both department head
quarters and the war department arc
mum as oysters. A Washington dis
patch says:
"oficially nothing Is known at tho
war department about the charges up
on which Capt. Haight is being tried.
The court was ordered by the COM
mander of the department and unless
the finding should be conviction and
sentence OF dismissal the record will
not come to Washington for many
months"
The trial is being held in the hall
near the officers club, where sentrie.
are posted 10 warn the curious away,
as from holy ground The enlisted men
have run risks of getting into the guard
house in efforts to ascertain some facts
about that court martial, but they say
they can find out nothing. Even the
officers not connected with the trial
say they don't know what the charges
are. A curious feature is the apparent
violation OF all precedent in allowing
the accused officer to wear his side
arms and go where he pleases. where
as, almost universally the custom is for
officers under arrest to be confined TO
their quarters and not 10 wear their
swords. Capt, Haight goes about the
post as nonchalantly and as indifferent
as though here on pleasure excursion.
all of which increases the halo OF inys-
terry surrounding the case. Attempts
are being made In many directions to
penetrate the wall OF uncertainty, but
the projectiie that VIII pierce the tar

The lawyers in the case have been in
creased by the addition of Mai. Richard
