ment. 1t seems to me, as think back
to our days at the Point-of course,
my memory may be playing me
trick-but it seems to me that even
then Cayley was interested in the
navigation of the air Somebody kept
a scrap-book of all that the newspa-
pers and magazines reported on the
subject, any way; ! remember seeing
1t. l think it was Cayley.
Il lost sight of him and Hunter
when they went to the Philippines. 1t
is only justice to Hunter to say that
l never heard word of the thing that
happened out there from him. He
never seemed to want to talk to me
about it, and, of course, | never forced
him. Well, l can make short story
of it. any way, though 1t has to be a
nasty one.
"a man came into the post one day,
the head man of one of the neighbor-
ing villages out there, a man with
white blood in him-Spanish blood.
They carried him in, for he couldn't
walk. He was in horrible condition.
He had been tortured-l won't go into
the details Of that-and logged nearly
to death. He said that Cayley had
done 1t. He had demonstrated with
Cay leg, he said, because he feared
for his daughters safety-she was a
pretty girl, whittier than her father
and it seems that the mans fears had
some Justification. 1t appears that
Cayley had come out there, blind
drunk, with a couple of troopers, who
deserted that same night, and man
handed the old man. The girl joined in
| her fathers accusation, at least she
didn't deny anything.
"Cayley was away on scout duty at
the time when the man came in--ths
thing h&d happened some days prior,
just before he started out. 1t came
like thunderbolt out of clear sky,
for everybody liked Cayley and
thought him an exceptionally decent,
clean sort Of chap, though he and
Hunter both were drinking good deal
just then Poor Hunter was all
broken up about 1t. Everybody be-
lieved that he really knew some in
eliminating facts against Cayley, but
he never would speak.
LAS for Caylcy himself, he made no
defense whatever. He denied he did
it, and that was ALL There wasn't
any real corroborative evidence
against him, so the court-martial dis
missed the case as not proved. But
he wouldn't testify himself nor have
q single witness called in his behalf,
