Members Were Found Guilty.

!Despite Fast Most of the Accused
Members Were Found Guilty.
Richmond, Va, Juhe LENDERS
! Of the Blues Band, arrested for insub-
! ordination and, violation of the articles
of war, in connection with the dance
at the Blues Armory following the IN
aueuration of Governor Stuart, were
found guilty by the court-martial
There were however, four excep-
tions-these being the cases OF men
on whom summons were not issued
/ The Governor yesterday disapproved
of the findings of the court-martial in
the cases, due to the fact that the
proceedings were held to be irregu-
lar in all but one case-that Of
Sergeant Thomas 3. Slaughter.
The Governor endorsed the findings
of the court as to the guilt of the
men, but disapprovei them because
of technical Irregularities. The right
-of a commanding officer Ito order
members of band to do duty such
as was expected of the Blues Band
lis upheld by the court-martial and
approved by the Governor.
In the case of Sergeant Slaughter
the court imposed a fine of s. and
costs. This is declared by the Gov
ernor to have been the only case IN
which the proceedings were entirely
legal.
In passing on the case Governor
Stuart or3ered that the fine against
Slaughter shall be remitted, holding
that it would be unfair to impose
a fine on him and to let the others
90 free because of technicalities.
According to the decision Of the
Governor the court which tried the
cases erred in basing all the findings
in all the cases on the same ground
and having the same proceeding as in
the Slaughter case.
The Governor orders that the band
shall again report forthwith for duty.
It is ordere,;, released from arrest.
The Governor makes it plain that
he would order the court to recon-
vene to retry all the cases, but to do
so would entail cost of not less than
$1,000 and this he is unwilling to do.
