trial of 1t. Beaufort G. Swancutt

Will Resist Insanity Plea.
Wan and pale from two months
confinement in the hospital, Swan
cutt nevertheless was said by Army
officers to be able to undergo ques-
tioning, although he is still in a
wheel chair.
Capt Charles A. Thomas, the
prosecutor, said he was prepared to
resist a motion by Swancutt's coun-
sci that the former security officer,
who saw service in India, was in
sane at the time of the shooting.
Swancutt has been examined by
alienists both for the prosecution
and the accused. The sanity issue
could be disposed of Immediately on
being raised, or could be passed on
after all evidence is completed.
A jury of IL high-ranking Army
officers has been selected but men,

kill her and himself.

fed that Swancutt rose from his
table at the officers Club, reached
for his .45-caliber pistol and shot
1t. Harry j. Light, Bridgeport,
Conn; Miss Livermore and Miss
Douglas in that order. They testified
he went to the quarters of Capt.
Serfling, routed him from bed, de-
manded shell clips for his gun and
then fired twice at his superior.
Capt. Serfling died few days later.
Army records disclose that Swan
cutt, port battalion officer, tenn
porarly assigned to ANA, had not
been advanced in list of promo
tions signed by Capt. Serf1ing a
short time before.
First prosecution witness to be
summoned was 1t. Light, whose re-
covery from thighs wounds will not
be complete, doctors say, for six
months. 1t. Aldace Minard of Po-
mona, Calf, also wounded in the
shooting, is still confined to a hos
pital and will not be called. 1t. Eliz-
abeth G. Klein, chief nurse of the
Camp ANA Hospital, who was dane

OF the chief prosecution witnesses.
If convicted Swancutt could be ex-
ecuted by hanging or firing

his two children, came here several

COME time ago I wrote piece
~ on navy haplains and
brought down on my head an
enormous mail in which the
navy and its chaplains were ex-
coriated. 1t SENS as though in"
stead Of being men of God, the
navy chaplains had become the
disciples of the devil.
The bills of particulars con-
tanned in this voluminous cor
,spondence boiled down TO two
points; one, that chaplains of
one denomination were asked to
do Gods ministry according to
the rites of faith in which
they did not believe; secondly.
that chaplains were called upon
TO perform tasks outside their
sphere, such as the supervision
of dances, advising boys regard
ing their love life. and so on.
ORDINARILY, J should have
" regarded these objections
merely as differences of opinion
as to the character of religious
ministration-a field for a vast
variety of concepts. The
language of these complaints,
however, was unbelievably vitu-
perative and vindictive. There
fore, / looked into the matter
further and found the following
to be the case:
The chaplain is charged with
the responsibility of serving the
entire complement. His task is
TO inspire them by his own ex-
ample, by his outlook. by his
devotion 10 the American way
of life and his love of God. He
is to encourage the men TO
think in the terms of the high
est and noblest. and is TO direct
their hearts 10 home, its vir-
tues and its hopes.
TT MATTERS not whether the
L chaplain on the ship is
Protestant, Catholic or Jewish
he is the" chaplain of the
ship. He is the spiritual leader
of this heterogeneous commu-
nifty. He Garranges for general
service on Sunday in which all
could join in praise and prayer
to the Father who created them
all.
Assuming that a chaplain on
ship is Catholic, he would
serve Catholics, Protestants and
Jews, and in addition would
serve his particular group by
hearing confessions and cele-
brating mass.
Upon arrival in port he would
invite Protestant chaplain
aboard, and IL none is available,
q local Protestant clergyman so
that the Protestants might have
a special service all their own.
He feels duty bound to do that.
He knows il is his response
bility TO care for the Protestant
lads. He does the same for the
Jewish men. What is true on
ship Is true in marine unit in
training or in action. The same
principle prevails at shore sta
tons.
