PERJURER INSTEAD
OF A MURDERER

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, April
2.-The findings of the board Of
court martial, which has found Pri-
vate Wiley Bennett guilty Of per-
jury, are on the way to Washington
today for the approval of the de-
partment.
Bennett was arrested as a sus-
pect in the murder of Private Rob-
ert B. DUNN, whose body was
found at the foot of Crows Nest,
precipitous bluff which overlooks
the sound, in February. The evil
dence against Bennett was purely
circumstantial. The officer in
charge of the cOurtmartial accused
Bennett of being constitutionally
unable to tell the truth and the
murder charge dropped. His story
during the investigation was all
conflicting. The mystery of
Dumm's murder will probably never
be solved.
