a bottle of liquor over his head and
Gosh declared he was afraid he was

IN CASE
Of MAJ. COOK
CON TNUES
Star Witness for Prosecution
Again Takes Stand IN Court
Martial Of Doctor.

Capt. James Bilbighaus, army
medical corps, this morning is con-
tinuing his testimony as witness for
the prosecution in the coursmartial
case involving \charges Of malprac-
tice and neglect against Major
George w. Cook, officer in charge
of the hospital at Camp Eustis. Va,
brought by Guy PendIeton, private
who lost both his legs by amputa-
ton after gangrenous infection.
Captain Bilbighaus. before he
took the stand in the improvised
court room in the Munitions build
ing Saturday had been hailed as
"star witness" for Pendelton's side.
Some parts of his testimony, how
ever have tended to weaken the
charges against Capt Gwynn.
The case, regarded as one Of the
most sensational in recent military
annals, has attracted such crowds
that the scene was shifted today
to larger quarters. Fraught with
such drama and high lights ais
usually appertain only in a civil
criminal trial, the affair is almost
unique. A weeping mother. a life
long, emaciated cripple in a wheel
chair-about these two figures has
grown a narrative full of pathos.
Major Cooks trial should be COM
pleted by Friday. Then, in all
probability, Capt! Samuel G. Gwynn,
surgeon in charge of the Camp
Eustis institution will be arraigned.
