FACED 25-YEAR TERM,
IS RESTORED T0DUK
Private Barkdoll, Who Refused to
Wear Uniform or Testify, Proved
to Be Mennonite. =

| CAMP MEADE, Md, December e.
Found guilty of refusing to put on the
| uniform of the United States Army
and found unwilling to testify under
oath or to stand cross questioning,
+; Private Samuel Barkdoll of the re-
| mount depot has been saved from a
| twenty-fve-year sentence at hard
labor by the reviewing authorities,
who have ordered him restored to
duty, because he is a Mennonite and a
conscientious objector.
At the time he is going back to
| duty at the remount depot seventeen
other DIRECTORS who did not make out
a case are on their way to Fort Leav-
enworth, Kan, to serve prison terms
at hard labor, found guilty of violat-
ing the sixty-fourth article of war,
dealing with the failure of an enlisted
man to obey the order of an officer.
Is an Exceptional Case.
The Barkdoll case, therefore, is an
exceptional one, as indicated by the
final action of the reviewing authoE-
ity. The action is in itself lengthy
document. and begins by referring to
the TACT lflat the war department, July
80, 1918, decided that no selected Men,
MONTE be compelled to wear the uni
form of the Army before or after as
Signment to a non-combatant service,
and that refusal to obey the order
was not a violation of the Sixty-fourth
But in making the defense along
this line the accused always has been
compelled to show that he was of that
faith. This case, therefore, hinged
upon the religious faith of the soldier,
and he refused to be sworn or to be
cross-examined.
The reviewing authority decides that
the court should not be criticised for
bringing in a verdict of guilty, but the
review closes with this verdict: Being
investigation that the accused is in good
faith a member of the Mennonite
Church, the sentence against him is ap-
proved, but the whole thereof is remit
ted and he will be forthwith released
from confinement and restored to duty"
A total of 176 other 'objectors here
made out cases for themselves and
thereby obtained furloughs to work on
farms. They are still on the farms of
Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Four prisoners, found guilty of an at
tempt to dig their way out of the stock
AIDE grounds, have been given heavy
sentences by court-martial. The men
and the terms they will serve follow:
Private Earl w. Carlson, five years;
James Richardson, ten years: William
Isenberg, ten years, and John T. Hurley,
ten years. The men who received ten
years had previous convictions against
their Army records.
The stockade is surrounded by high
barbed wire fence and there are guards
on duty night and day. The prisoners,
however. hit upon a scheme that came
near giving them their liberty and per-
hitting others to get away at the same
time. BY working quietly at night the
men succeeded in digging an under
ground passage of considerable length
before the guards saw what they were
trying to do Within a few hours the
way would have been open and the four
men would have been at liberty.
