His verdict came as bomb in the
ranks of those who had adjudged the
man a victim of leprosy. Cor he held
that Early had no symptoms Of the
disease. After much parlcying Early
was taken TO New York. a pension
examiner hurried to New York. where
Early ha6 been liberated and found the
man apDarently sound and well. Ply
siciars in that city had determined that
the man had recovered from durable
skin disease of which he had been
suffering.
Early was then examined by the
Pension board. which ruled also that
he was sound in mind and body. He
was subsequently dropped from the
pension rolls.
