Sheriff Bennett Holding Him Until
Army Officers Send for Him to
Take Him Back East
for Court Martial.
HE SIGNS A CONFESSION
His Wife Sticks to Him, After Few
Weeks of Married Bliss, and Is
Staying in Carthage to
be Near Him.

Xxx
Fonzo Goldman is still in Jail at
Carthage awaiting an officer to take
him back to his army camp on Long
leland to stand trial for desertion.
His bride OF a few weeks is stick
ing by him and has been IN Carthage
since the day after his arrest nere.

lence in his trouble.
just when the army officers will
send for him vas not known here
this morning, and his wife's family
said she would come home to Keo-
kuk as soon as Goldman started east.
Goldman told how he deserted from
the S66th aero squadron in a written
statement he signed for Sheriff Ben
nett which reads:
GoIdman,s Own Narrative.
"Fouzo Goldman left Held 2 Garden

ing my post / knew l was going

ice. After visiting my parents and

The Punishment Provided.
Goldman's naive hope to be back
with his bride in a few months IS
somewhat at variance with the army
regulations and the law.
The punishment for desertion In
time of wal is from five years to twen-
lty years in the ~penitentiary, with a
death sentence allowed but seldom
executed.
There IL great variation in the
practical handling Of desertion cases
BY the courts martial which try them.
tDesertion is generally oyerstaying a
leave OF absence. and this form is
treated according to the circum.
stances and lightly as a rule. The
desertion which consists in deliber-
ately running away from ones sta
ton Is another form which is punish
ed more heavily, and even in tins OF
peace usually results in a term n
prison.
| OF course, nobody knows what Gold
man will draw from the court martial
which awaits his return to Garden
City.
