i SPICY TESTIMONY
■ __
L'e'Jt.Col. Gabell, of Arkansas
Repirts Observation.
i PATIENTS KEGLEGTED.
■ Officers Rebuked For Cruelty
to Privates
Anniston, Ala., Oct., 27. —
Among the witnesses before the
War Investigating Committee
*1 today ware Fontaine Ragland
V and Edward Simmons, two col
| ored men of the Third Alabama;
11. C. Lemke, a quartermaster
sergeant of the Fourth Wiscon
sin ; Congressman colonel of the
| Fourth Kentucky, and Lieut
r Col. Cabell, of the Second Ar
kansas.
Col. Cabell said in reply to
, questions put by Dr. Connor,
that he had observed a condition
of affairs at the hospital of the
Second Division of the Third
Army Corps in June, which he
B considered horrible. He had
p himself seen one sick man lying
without the protection of even a
s teat, and had been informed by
other officers that several others
had been left in the same way.
He thought that ths doctors
were honest enough, but that
they did not know how to get
supplies. Mule drivers had been
used for nurses and he had been
reliably informed that many of
them were in the habit of getting
drunk, and on this occasion neg
glecting their patients. He said
that Dr. Schooler was the divi
sion surgeon at the time. Col.
Cabell is a lieutenant in the
regular army, and his testimony
made an evident impression
upon the commission.
Major Charles F. King, sur
geon of the Fourth Wisconsin
regiment, was one of the wit
nesses this afternoon. Dr. King
said that the medical supplies
of his regiment were insufficient
and that there was much delay
in getting requisitions filled.
He thought there was a sufficient
quaatity of food, but ■’“ iO
some of the n*'* 4 *ould not eat it,
n ../viTing to buy food for them
selves.
General Wilson asked if the
mea had ever complained to him
as Surgeon of the regiment, and
Dr. King replied that they had.
“What did you say to them?”
asked the General,
“I told them to go to the devil,
and eat what they had,” he re
plied.
“I think that a very improper
reply for you to have made,” said
General Wilson, and he declined
to further continue the examina
tion.

THE LEGISLATURE
(Continued from Ist, page.)
party meeting. Even Senator M.
W. tSross, of the 29th district,
the only populist member of the
upper house, was not present
Senator William Clifton, of the
second district did not run for
the presidency of the senate, as
he had threatened to do, and as
senator declined to take the oatb
of office in order that, as secre
tary of state, he co ild be a ecu
spicuous figure in the inaugura
tion ceremonies next Saturday
But as secretary of the senate lu
called that body to order, ami
voted for the candidates who
were elected to office in the
senate. It is a matter of history
that Col. Clifton is the most
übiquitous figure in Georgia
politics, and if anybody else
should attempt to held so many
offices at the same time it would
lead to unending legal contro
versies.
Governor-elect Allen D. Can
dler is in the city, and will re
main here until next Saturday
evening. At noon Saturday he
will be inaugurated, and, in
spite of bis desire and effort? to
make the inauguration ceremo
nies as simple as possible, it is
pretty certain that there will be
a tremendous jubilee in and
about the capitol when he takes
the oath. All the railroads are
giving special reduced rates and
large crowds of visitors are look
ed for from every section of the
state. The fact that Col. Candler’s
election marks the dea*h of pop
ulism and independism in Geor
gians largely responsible for the
movement to give his adminis
tration a noisy send-off, and un
less all signs fail, there will be
a whole lot of political pyrotech
nic in Atlanta day after tomor
row.
