Fitzgerald Comments
II am certainly unable to understand
the meaning of the statement credited
to Adjutant General Scully in this
mornings paper, to the effect that had
requested that Company l be mustered
out of the service two weeks before the
encampment," said Capt John Fitz-
gerald this morning. General Scully
has always been my friend, and ] have
found him to be a man who confined
himself to a statement or facts. While
] do not question the accuracy of the
reporter handling the story, l want to
hear General Scully himself say that
made such a request. l made no such
request of the adjutant general and
challenge him or anyone else to pro-
duce a letter to that effect"
