INQUIRY COURT ORDERED

Disapproval OF the verdict OF court
martial by the commander-in-chief is
an unusual occurrence, but was done
yesterday by Governor Mann In the
case OF Sergeant Frank L. Atkinson, OF
the Richmond Howitzers. The general
court-martial appointed to try Sergeant
Atkinson for failure to attend the Get
tysburg encampment found him guilty
and imposed fne Of So The Cover
nor disapproves this and orders the
accused non commissioned officer back
to duty with his battery.
The case Is further made interesting
by certain comments In the indorse-
ment OF the papers by Major 7. M.
Wortham commander OF the Virginia
Field Artillery. In accordance with,
military useage the papers were refer
red to the major before being sent to
the Acknowledgement. He asserts that
he had knowledge that Sergeant At
kinson was in conference with the at
torney for the company which employ
ed him. in the lawyers offices in the
Mutual Building, on the day of the
trial, several hours before the court
convened.
All witnesses Present.
Major Workman further says that two
Of the officers OF the corporation em-.
playing Sergeant Atkinson, the attorney
for the company and all the witnesses
were present during the hearing OF tho
evidence.
Having thus called attention to this
delinquency OF the court-martial, Major
WORKMAN added that fine OF So was
such small penalty In cases where a
soldier is found guilty by atgenera1
court martial, that It would not pro-
mote discipline or rebound to the good
OF the service.
In this latter view the Governor ex-i
presses his entire concurrence. disap-

the case. after this double arreled
criticism OF the court.
Feared Discharge.
Sergeant Atkinson's defense to the
charge OF failing to perform his min
tary duties was that he believed he
would be discharged from his position
