SAYS, UNTIL He
LOST IN STUDY
Decided to Resign, Also, Vir-

Midshipman GiImer.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. Nov. Stat
ing that the treatment accorded him
at the Naval Academy. mainly by
Midshipman John r. Gilmer. now
charged with hazing before court
martial, was humiliating and op.
impressive and that II interfered 80
with his scholastic work that he
could not keep up his own studies
and made him decide to resign.
Midshipman Joseph G.. Bonifant. a
Virginian in the lowest class, testi.
fled at length yesterday In the trial
OF the case against Gilmer at the
Naval Academy. Gilmer Is from
San Diego, Calf. and the son Of
Lieut.. ]. p. Gilmer. OF the Navy
Medical Corps. Bonifant Is from
Powhatan. Va.
The charge Of hazing against Gil
mer is supported by six specifica'
tions. Three OF these relate to the
hazing of Bonifant, by asking him
questions not part of his regular
work. and by compelling him to do
continuous physical exercises. "A
fourth alleges that Bonifant and
Midshipman Ethelredge Grant, Neal
Campbell and Karl Biederman were
compelled to engage in a pie race,
and the other relates to alleged haz
ing of Grant and Biederman.
Bonifant stated that the running
and hazing began with the first OF
October, when the upper classmer
returned, and that Gi.mer. who
was at the table with him, asked
him a number OF questions, not re
lated to his actual work. about
seamanship, at every meal.
Bonifant stated that he had tc
use up most of his study period
trying to get the answers to these
questions, and that he neglected his
required work in such a way thai
he failed to be satisfactory and de
cided to submit his resignation
The resignation. however, has moi
been accepted by the authorities
The crosseexamination Of Bonifan'
by Major Leonard. Gilmer's counsel
was very thorough, and indicated
that II was designed to bring out
that Gilmer had stated that he In
tended to resign for other reasons
such as to study law and because
ne feared the result Of a cominf

Bonifant insisted that his main rea

Signorina Muzio is carefully

that Pat Somerset, English actor,

Although hearing of charges Of
moral turpitude against Somerset
was postponed a week. Mr.. Carlton
filed papers alleging misconduct be-

actor.
MIR. Carlton said that although
Miss Day, his wife. had left him for
Somerset. he was still fond Of her
and would do anything for her. even
now. He added:

Beginning Of Affair.
I'VE had not been in. London long

Day and Somerset met clandestinely

she laughed at me. I told her that
Somerset was merely using her.

rich English women, and that it
was habit with him-but she
would not listen.
Pat even had the gall to pawn
her Jewels for $5,000--the jewels
that I had given her when / loved
her with all my heart"
Mr.. Carlton, who said that he had
spent $4,000 in obtaining evidence,
offered copies Of forty-seven alleged
bad checks. which he said Somerset
had passed in England.
But Mr.. Carlton still loves the
woman who scorned him. In this
he said:
IF she should ask me for
financial or other aid. I would give
It to her. I suppose I am odd sort.
1t will almost break my heart TO
sue for a divorce. but there seems
no other way out.
