Pothier verdict that the case against
the former captain would be dropped.
Considerable mystery has attended
the death of Cronkhite. He fell
mortally wounded from a pistol shot
at the entrance to an old farm on
the Camp Lewis military reservation,
while his command stood at rest
scarcely so yards away. Dense un-
derbrush obscured their view Of the
shooting.
Pothier was accused and made sew
eral alleged confessions. In the first
he admitted killing Maj. Cronkhite,
but said that Capt. Rosenbluth
caused him to do it. This alleged
confession he later repudiated and
another alleged confession was made
in which he said the shooting was
accidental. Finally Pothier reverted
to his original story.
