taken up Johnstons case. but met
with no success. Some months ago
the case was brought to Congressman
Neely's attention and he became in
terested in IL. After personally urg-
ing the case before Secretary of War
Garrison upon two occasions, the sec
rotary finally decided that Johnston
was entitled TO a pension, and he &C
cordingly caused an honorable dis
charge to be issued to him for his
service in the Ohio regiment. and is
sued an accompanying order clearing
his name from the charge OF deser-
ton. The result will be that John
ston Will now be placed on the pen
sion roll. lie will receive between
$500 and $500 accrued pension under
the age act of May. 1912. but in addi-
ton to that. as he filed his pension
claim in 1890. Il is the opinion OF the
officials. given offhand, that there Is
no way under the law TO prevent his
receiving a pension from the date OF
the fling OF his application. II that
proves to be the case. and the signs
are that IL will. Johnston will receive
an additional 5000. II is one OF the
most remarkable cases that has been
before the pension bureau in many
years say the officials. Mr. Johnston
is over 40 years OF age. but in good
health for one of his years.
