the story of John B. Martin, former
inmate of the institution. He charges

The hearing was held in the Office of

149 Broadway. Dr. Guy 0. Ireland. who
represented Colonel Charles il. Forbes.
director Of the Veterans Bureau. and
c. H. Jewett, representing the district
manager of the bureau, also were pres

Martin told the committee that his

return him 80 the hospital.
Martin explained that he had OBJ
tained the liquor in bootleg joint"
to make him forget the treatment he
and other war veterans received at
the hospital. He said that he returned
to the hospital about 10 o'clock that
night, and near the grounds met Jere-
miah Woods, another patient, who has
already testified before the committee.
Both Of them were lying on the lawn,
he said, when n doctor connected with

the institution inquired what they
were doing there and made n deroga-
tory remark. When Martin attempted
to strike, Woods restrained him.
Two policemen across the street, who
had been attending boxing match In
the neighborhood, brought him TO the
main building, Martin testified, from
which he was taken to G Building, re-
served for the violently insane. There
he was struck by one of the orderlies,
he said, and he hit back.
Two other orderlies came to the
aid of the first one and put him (Mar-

He lapsed into Inconsistencies, from
which he recovered five hours later.
Martin insisted that, although the
records show he was discharged from
the hospital on August 10, he actually
was kept there until August 10, when
he was sent to a private camp in Con-
necticut, SO that, he believes, he might
be prevented from telling his story.
The committee resumed it's executive
sessions after taking Martins testi-
mony. It's findings will be submitted
to Colonel Forbes, in Washington,
after which they will be made public.

The delegates from Kings were iubilant
because of the expected election of

equally confident that Commander Ely
would return with the Office.
Deegan Sentiment Grows
There were persistent rumors of the
possibility of William F. Deegan being
reelected state commander. The state
nent that he was the logical candidate
only created louder demand for his
return to his present Office. The dele
gates seemed reluctant to give him up
even in the face of being elected COM
1nande,r of the national organization.
There are two candidates in the field
for the office. They are Albert S. Cal
Ian, of Chatham, the present first vice
commander, and Edward N. Scheiber-
ling, of Albany. Both have been in
dorsed by several counties, and the To-
cal contingent holds firm for the re-
turn Of Commander Deegan. The pres
ent state commander has not entered
the race for Office and has steadily
refused to comment either on the race
for state commander or national COM
mander. His only comment has been

spot They began suddenly and a.
suddenly ceased, yet there was no
mystery about these; he had the
marks Of the wheels to help him to
a sure conclusion. A carriage had
turned just here, several men had
alighted; they had with them a
child, or a woman. Either they had
reentered the carriage and driven
back as they had come, or they had
gone toward the river. He felt the
soul within him turn sick.
He stole along the pain: the ter

thoughts. and the specter Of his
fear seemed to fit before him and
lure him on. Presently he caught
his first glimpse Of the bayou and
his legs shook under him: but the
path wound deeper still into what
appeared to be an untouched soli-
tude, wound on between the crowd
ing tree forms, a little back from
the shore, with an Intervening tan
gle of vines and bushes. He
scanned this closely as he hurried
forward, scarcely conscious that he
was searching for some trampled
space at the waters edge; but the
verdant wall preserved its un-
broken continuity, and 20 minutes
later he came within sight Of Hicks
clearing and the keel boat. where
it rested against the bank.
A little farther on he found the
spot where Slosson had launched
| the skiff the night before. The keel
of his boat had cut deep into the
slippery clay; more than this. the
| impress of the small shoe was re-
peated here, and just beside it was
the print of a child's bare foot.
He no longer doubted that Betty
, and Hannibal had been taken
across the bayou to the cabin, and
he ran back up the path the dis

the woods on his right, his purpose
being to pass around the head of the
expanse of sluggish. water to a
point from which he could later ap-
proach the cabin.
