COURT MARTIAL WILL GIVE VERDICT TODAY
 OF TRIAL ON MONDAY

court martial tribunal, consisting of I3 officers of the Phoenix high school cadet corps, will today decide the fate of Cadet Sergt. Bailey Daven port, against whom charges of violat ing all the most serious articles of war have been preferred. The trial, con- ducted yesterday. brought to light some startling revelations" it is claimed by the military court which reviewed the case. It was the first mock military trial ever conducted at the local school.
 Among other things. Sergt. Daven- port was charged with having sworn mitted that he employed rather force ful" language in expressing his thoughts about a superior officer only after the said superior officer had first sworn at him. This testimony may result in a thorough probe, it was hinted.
 Sergt Davenport. accused also of appearing for drill with his blouse un- buttoned, denied fully the charge, as- serting that every button on the blouse was buttoned at drill time. He denied fully the insinuation that he had jus1 finished washing the garment and did not have time to button it before ap- bearing for drill.
 Lieut. Lawrence and Sergt Harold Marks, representing the defense han dled the case in an excellent fashion. Every attack launched by Judge Ad- vocate Arthur Anderson found a coun- ter in the defense.
 Because of the great volume of tes- timony introduced by the judge advo- cate and the defense, the military court announced it's inability to com pietely review the details of the case and render its verdict before this morning. The outcome of the court martial is anxiously being awaited by the school cadets
