actively concerned In the shooting,
either to the extent of being partlcl-
nsnts or to. the extent of virtually ene
I'iiuraglng those who were participants.
as to companies C and D, there can be
„0 question that practically overy man
n them must have had knowledge that
he shooting was done by some of the
soldiers of B troop, and possibly by one
.or two others In one of the. other
tr< *‘Thls concealment was Itself a grave
offenst* which was greatly aggravated
hv their testifying before the senate
by their testifying
committee that they were Ignorant of
Bhat they must have known. Never-
tbeless, It Is to be said In partial ex-
tenustlon that they were probably
cowed by threats, made by the more
desperate of the men who had actually
been engaged In the shooting, as to
what would happen to any man who
failed to' protect the wrongdoers.
Encouraged to Deny.
"Moreover, there are circumstances
lending to show that these misguided
men were encouraged by outsiders to
oerslst In their course of concealment
and denial. I feel, therefore, that the
guilt of the men who, after the event,
thus shielded the perpetrators of. the
wrong by refusing to tell the truth
about them, tho serious, was In part
due to the unwise and Improper at
titude of others, and that some measure
of allowance should be qiade for the
misconduct.
•In other words. I believe we can
afford to reinstate any of these men
who now truthfully tell what has hap
pened. give all the aid they can to fix
the responsibility upon those who are
really guilty, and show that they them
selves had no guilty knowledge before
hand and were In no way Implicated
In the affair, save by having knowl
edge of It afterwards and falling and
refusing to divulge it.
To Reinstate Some.
"Under the circumstances, and In
view of the length of time they have
been nut of the service, and their loss
of the benefit that would have accrued
to them by continuous long-time serv
ice. we can afford to treat the men who
meet the requirements given above as
having been sufficiently punished by
the consequences they brought upon
themselves when they rendered nec
essary the exercise of the disciplinary
power. I recommend that a law be
passed allowing the secretary of war,
within n fixed period of time, say a
year, to reinstate any of these soldiers
whom he, after careful examination,
finds to have been Innocent and whom
he finds to have done all In his power
to help bring to Justice the guilty.
“Meanwhile the Investigation will be
continued. The results have made It
obvious that only by carrying on the
Investigation as the war department
has actually carried It on Is there the
slightest chance of bringing the offend
ers to Justice or of separating not tho
Innocent, for there were doubtless
hardly any Innocent, but the less guilty
from those whose guilt was heinous.”
Conyers’ Confession.
It Is shown that ex-Prlvate Boyd
Conyers, of Company B, Twenty-fifth
Infantry, now a resident of Monroe,
Ga„ confessed to a detective employed
by the government that he and two or

being 08.020 bale*, an Increase of about
20.000 this month. It wae predicted that
the stock would be over 100,000 hy January
