ficers below him could have a chance
for advancement.
Becomes Lawyer Since,
ITO show how untrue the charpe
was, Col. Perkins took up the study of
law at a college in the East after his
retirement. \ three-year law course
at the college was passed in two years
and he was honorably mentioned. He
passed the examinations in Washing
ton creditably. Since then he has con-
Quoted a successful law practice. He
has written many excellent poems and
treatises on law subjects.
Six years ago Col. Perkins was ap-
preached by some of his Junior officers
and offered money to quit the service
SO that the other officers might have
chance for advancement. He re-
fused, and soon after was sent to Pam
anna, to an out-of-the-way position.
Then he was recalled to Washing
ton and adjudged mentally unbal-
anced.' Even then he declined to quit
Pressure was brought to bear upon
Mrs. Perkins, however, and she per-
suaded him to resign rather than be
disgraced publicly.
Naval Committee Favors Him.
"A subcommittee from the Naval
Committee of the House of Representa-
tives fully Investigated the dismissal
two years ago and unanimously de-
cided in his favor. 1t has been held up
by higher officials, however.
"Col. Perkins was a classmate of
mine when / was graduated in 1881.
We spent two years together on a
European cruise.
I'VE all loved him and all NV old
classmates feel, like myself, that he is
the victim of plot, and that a Con-
gressional investigation should be
asked to clear the entire matter up.
His work since his retirement is
proof enough that he is sane and that.
he is worthy of holding the highest
rank in the service. His retirement
under duress should be removed and
Col. Perkins restored to the service. :
