Pearsons charges in both cases were generally scoeo at by the colleagues of the accused in Congress lhe men and women on Capitol Hill sit through the blasts from him and other critics with amazing in- difference The typical reaction and it was true in the cases of both Thomas and Brehm - is to rally to the defense of the accused.

Wilson of Princeton University The author cites numerous cases-including those of May and Thomas to show that Congress has been IT, responsible in the matter of preserving its reputation The Brehm case supplies him with additional docu- mentation

Bighorn Valley, implying that
the Indians were encamped
there. This information was
carried to Custer, but by the
time he reached the point a
haze, caused by the brilliance
of the sun, obScured the view.
Evidently, Custer was not en-
tirely convinced as to the loca-
ton of the Indians. On return
ing to camp, he was informed
that the Indians had discover
ed their presence. He then
called a conference of officers
and to them he stated that his
plan had been to rest a day in
the hills and to make the at
tack early on the morning of
the Goth as was previously out
lined by General Terry. Their
discovery by the Indians, how
ever, altered the plan, and now
it seemed urgent to attack at
once. A delay until the next
day might result in the escape
of the Indians.

Clusters Troops Take to the
Trail
General Custer had started
up the Rosebud creek with
about 600 soldiers, A Indian
Scouts, and 20 or. more packers,
guides and civilians. They
moved cautiously along the
creek, crossing it several times
as they sought the most adj
vantageous marching and camp
ing ground. The afternoon OF
the third day, June "a, the
scouts reported that the Indian
trail they were following turned
abruptly to the right and went
westward toward the Little
Bighorn River valley. They were
then only about 8 miles from
where the Indians had defeat
ed Crooks forces on June II,
but having received no COM
munication from General Crook
they had no knowledge of the
battle. After darkness set in
and the men and horses had
rested, Custer broke camp and
continued to follow the trail.
During the night the cavalry
men moved several miles near
er the high divide between the
Little Bighorn and Rosebud
Valleys. Then they halted to
await daylight so that a more
careful reconnaissance of the
surrounding country might be
made.
At daybreak, from a high
point on the divide, the scouts
observed smoke in the Little
