A KLEPTOMANIAC
Such Will Probably Be the Verdict of
the Court Martial.
Court was again called to order at
Camp Nortben yesterday morning at
10 o’clock for the purpose of trying
Private O. E. Bingland, charged with
violating Article 62 of the army regu
lations, which refers to stealing.
The reading of the proceedings of
Friday var beard and were unani
mously revoked by the court.
Witnesses were again sworn in,
when Major W. E. Wooten, counsel
lor the defendant, in answer to a
question from the court, said the de*,
fondant plead not guilty. The specifi
cations plead guilty, also.
After the examination of numerous
witnesses, both for the prosecution
and defense—u well as the prisoner
himself—Major Wooten presented a
copy signed and sealed by the state
pardon board of Florida, which libera
ted O- E. Ringland, Jr., from a term
in the state penitentiary on the ground
of mental disabilities, which made
him wholly irresponsible for tbe crime
h« was charged with.
Foor witnesses testified that they
had known tbe prisoner for a number
of years and to their knowledge and
belief be was a kleptomaniac. This
censed a change in affairs, which will
possibly cause tbe liberation of the
young mar and bis discharge from tbe
army.
After considerable discussion over
the introduction of certain papers in
tbe poesession of the counsel for the
defendant, which were finally ruled
out, court adjourned to meet again at
10 o’clock Monday morning

court is quite as slow as all others and
that a prisoner may have all the time
necessary to repent for his crime.
The report has been widely circula
ted through tbe state aa well as tbe
camp that Private Tom Davis, of Capt
Geo. W Drummond’s company, de
serted Friday morning, and while en
route to his home was arrested in Ma
con. The facts of tbe case as explain
ed by Col. Lawton are as follows: .
Friday morning at guard mount
Capt. Drummond noticed that Davis
did not answer at roll call. He looked
for the absent man, but failed to find
him. About this time a young lady
in our city called for Capt Drummond
and, over the telephone, be understood
her to say one of his men had run off
on tbe Savannah train
The captain immediately reported
tbe affair to Col. Lawton, who tele
graphed the United States marshal at
Macvi authorising the arrest of Tom
Davis, a tx> was expected to be on the
11 o’clock train enroute fur Savannah.
Capt. Drummond came to tbe city,
and, to bis surprise, found his man bad
not ran off on the Savannah train, but
bad bren rap over by it.
Davis had, just before guard mount,
been entrusted with some important
letters to be mailed, and as the train
was nearly due be had to carry them
to the depot
In some way Davis fell under tbe
train before it bad stopped and had it
not been for bis remarkable presence
of mind be would bsve been killed.
As it was he rolled off tbe track next
to the platform and only lost the end
of two toes. He, in bis disabled condi
tion, fulfilled bis duties and was car
ried to the hospital at Camp Nortben
whore his wounds were dressed.
He 3 doing nicely and will soon be I
able for duty which ho has heretofore
accomplished with much credit.
