g SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, august
.29, 1912.-The courtnartiaI for the
trial of Doctors Vans AgneW and
Haynes, Fifth Cavalry. and DR.. WilL
yoEng, First Field Artillery, con-
vened at the headquarters of the First
Infantry yesterday at $50 p. NJ.
Only one OF the accused officers,
however, was arraigned by Lieut..
Harry A. Wells, the Judge Advocate,
and that was Lester E. Willyoung,
who appeared before the tribunal ac-
companied by his counsel, Capt. Will
liam R. Gibson, Second Infantry. and
Capt. r. M. Cutler, Medical Corps.
The reading of the charges dis.
closed the fact that Dr.. Willyouns
was to be tried for conduct to the
prejudice of good order and military
discipline under the sixty-second
article of war, or the Devils Article,
as it. is called. There were three
Specifications under the charge. The
first alleged that the doctor had
failed to comply with an order from
Colonel Mansfield issued some months
ago Wn6F0lu IuC dCCuoCu @HdSs uiSSG-
ed to, report to DR.. Vans Agnew as
the latter's assistant. The second
specification set forth that DIR. Will
young had neglected to perform GER
tain duties imposed upon him con-
cerning the quarantine for dogs es-
tablished. by the commanding officer
cooperating with the Agricultural De-
partment of the Islands; while the
last and most serious charge alleged
that DIR. Willyoung had endeavored to
secure the credit of the preparation
of semi-official article that ap.
peared in a service journal published
in New York some time in October
Of 1911 by claiming its authorship in
certain conEersaticSs.
