ley G. Fishback, were COMMITTED
TO three years confinement Pri-
Yates Forrest d. Sebastian and
Jess Cook were granted full par

To Servo Sentence.
Sebastian and Cook. who were
pardoned, were convicted Of
sleeping at sentry posts. Le-
doyen and Fishback were SEN
fenced for disobeying orders.
They will serve their three-year
terms at Leavenworth.
President Wilson's action was
taken on the recommendation of
Secretary Baker, who made a
personal investigation of the
case.
In granting full pardon to Sc
basttan and Cook, the president
said he did so in view of their
extreme youth and the fact that
tbedr offense was wholly free
from conscious disregard of duty.
Both are ordered sent back to
