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 Thue it will be seen that the army ' ■« V-HM' : ./t 1 "" n '-9 Clothing For Every One • JVT BASS BROS.’ A train load of—we like to have said soldiers, but we mean Clothing for the sddiere who are going to remain at home.

J I— ■ " 56 and 58 Hill St. - - - Griffin, Ga. 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. ~ ; ’ ‘ \ ♦ . " r. ■ 1 Col.
