to-day. in long written opinion. rem

rendered by a United States court-mar-
tial is not final, but is renewable by the
courts Of the land. The decision is re-
garded in army circles as one Of far
reaching consequence. the War Depart
mcut having a special representative here
to assist the United States district at
torney in the prosecution of the case
The decision was in a criminal action
brought by the Federal government at the
request Of the judge advocate of the mill
itary department Of Texas against Otto
Praeger. now of Washington D. c.. a
newspaper man, for declining to disclose
the authorship of an article printed in a
San Antonio paper. The article in ques-
ton severely criticised the management
OF the military rife contest, at Fort Reno,
In the fail Of 1905. and the military author
tiles instituted court-martial proceedings
against a noncomnlssioned officer whom
they suspected of furnishing the infor-
nation.
IIdtStI. as night editor OF the paper,
and responsible for publication Of the
article. was called to disclose the author
ship. Under the advice of counsel he re-
fused to testify on the grounds that the
law seeking TO compel a civilian to tes-
tify at a court-martial in time Of peace
is unconstitutional. and on the further
ground that having been threatened with
prosecution for criminal libel any tes-
timony that he might give might tend
to incriminate him in the threatened
action.
AS a result the judge advocate Of the
department OF Texas had Praeger arrested
for contempt Of court-martlal The case
was tried last spring on attorneys briefs
and oral arguments by the Hon Carlos
Bee for the defendant, and by the United
States district attorney and Judge AdvO-
cate Roberts for the government. Judge
Maxey announced that the case raised
new and far-reaching points as to the
powers Of courts-martial, and that he
would take the matter under advisement.
The decision, accordingly, was rendered
to-day 1t acqUitS Praeger OF contempt
of court in refusing to testify. and laws
down construction Of the law which
limits materially the power of d court
martial in dealing with civilian witnesses.

to New Rochelle. Worry over financial
affairs is believed to have unbalanced his
mind.
