BOUND TO BE A G. A. r.. MAN.
War Veteran Draws Pension Although
Never Enlisted.

New York, May Cone of the
strangest cases of pension fraud on
record was revealed in the federal
court when James Cunningham, for
years a prominent Grand Army man
in the Borough offered to plead
guilty to the charge of wrongfully ac-
cepting money from the governmen
as a war veteran.
The odd feature was that Cunning
ham who is we'll to do, sought a
small pension out of pride, and not
because he wanted the money. Proud
of his reputation as a Grand Army
man, his theory was that with a pen
sion he would be better recognized as
one who had fought for the Union.
According to Lawyer Huston, Cum
ningham was II years old when the
civil war started. He was unable to
enlist, but was so eager to get into
the fighting that he followed the One
Hundred and Sixth regiment of New
York volunteers to the front. While
not regularly enrolled, he actually
fought with the regiment, also saw
some service as a follower of other
commands. Returning home at the
end of the war he told of having
fought the rebels. In time he be-
came Grand Army man and year af-
ter year on Memorial day marched
with the veterans in Brooklyn. Sew
eral years ago he was elected COM
mander of Devin post.
