SOLDIER REPORTED
DEAD |SA. v. 0. |.
Telegram Read by Watson
Had Asked for Probe of
Death in Hospital.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press,
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, November IL.
"A request for an investigation into
the death Of Private Albert Purcell at
an Army hospital in San Antonio, read
before the Senate by Senator Watson
OF Georgia, appears to be based on a
misunderstanding. according to Army
| records. which show that Private Pur-
cell went absent without leave from
the Army at Brownsville, Tex, Octo-
Der 3. 1919.
Army records fail to show any proof
that Purcell is dead and hospital rec
ords show that he was never admitted
to the Army hospital in San An
/ tonic. Purcell is not carried as q de-
serter in the records here, although
no light has been shown on his leav-
ing his regiment.
According to press dispatches. Sena-
tor Watson read a telegram asking
for the investigation without dis-
closing the identity of the sender. He
said his informant had been unable
to learn anything about the case at
the War Department and also said the
Private's death occurred at camp in
San Antonio.
According to the Army records.
Private Purcell was member Of
headquarters troop Of the 18th Cav
airy stationed at Brownsville. For
charging two sergeants in the COM
pany with bootlegging he was threat
ened with a beating" by the men,
when they learned that he had fur
nished the officers with the informa-
ton which caused their confinement.
Following their release there was
an encounter with Purcell and the
sergeants again were placed In con-
finement Before they were released
Purcell disappeared. Purcell's father
| lives in Cincinnati.

pleased with their first days journey
thru the wilderness.
\ The American Landing consisted OF
a large two-story log house with q
good sized onc-story ell, barn large
enough to accommodate several spans
of horses, and good sized log ware
house, where supplies were kept for
all the mines in that district.
For this place narrow road had
been cut through the woods along
the range to the Agogebic Mine, but
it had not been otherwise worked, not
even to grubbing cut the stamps or
grading it at all, and in many places
was barely wide enough for wagons
to pass between the standing trees.
The country was rough with many
steep hills. SO we did not have an in
viting days journey ahead Of US for
the morrow. The next morning we
were all up bright and early and af-
ter breakfast, set out for the Derby
Mine twenty miles distant. The two
horses were hitched to lumber wag-
on, made of high-sided box without
springs or seats. Mattresses were
placed on he bottom of the box and
the trunks loaded into the rear end,
so as to form a sort of back, and the
women rode in this rudely constructed
conveyance which was driven by my
uncle. The rest of the men had to
walk, driving the oxen ahead of them
and the road was so rough that those
who walked had much the easier jour
ney. At noon we ate our lunch and
rested for an hour on the bank of
small stream crossing the road, and
then took up the march again and
reached cur destination a tired lot of
Yankees, after about thirteen hours
of travel at the rate of two and half
miles an hour.
