The detail of the court will be made ina day or two. ‘The record of the court of inquiry was made public after the Cabinet meeting yesterday In it the court recites all the c and gives a resume of {he evidence on both sides, and concludes a8 fol- lows: “The court 1s of opinion that while It is not pre- Pared to say that any specific act developed by the evidence 1s’ actually fraudulent, yet. the evidence does show a series of transactions discreditable to aay officer of the army, and which especially de- | mands the severest condemnation when engaged in by an officer holding the high position and pecu- War relations to the administration of justice inthe | army held by Brigadier General Swatm.” COL. MORROW ALSO TO BE TRIED BY COURT-MARTIAL ‘The court-martial will not be ordered for the trial of Judge Advocate General Swaim until after the return of the President and party from West Potnt, which will probably be next Monday. ‘The Secre? tary of War was oftctally informed by the record of the court of Inquiry in General Swatm’s case of the action of Col. A. P. Morrow, 6th cavairy, in duplicating, triplicating ‘and quadrupiicating’ of his pay accOuntsjand has decided to order him tried by court-martial. Gen. Swaim and Col. Morrow will not be tried jointly, but. tt 1s probable that after the trial of Gen. Swalm the same court Will ‘try Col, Morrow. ‘The court will be composed of general officers of the arm; The Official Telephone.
