NEW LONDON, Conn. March l.
Three colonels. five lieutenant colo1els,
and three majors. sitting as court
martial at Fort Terry, Plum island,
have decided that the triol OF Major
Benjamin NJ. Koehler should be kept
absolutely secret. Secretary of War
Garrison ordered that the trial should
be open, and then. upon representations
from the officers in charge, gave them
discretion in the matter.
II is said that the officers at Fort
Terry breathed a sigh of relief when
they heard that Secretary Garrison had
revoked his first ruling that the press be
admitted to the trial room.
