SOLDIER REPORTED DEADISA.W.0.L Telegram Read by Watson Had Asked for Probe of Death in Hospital. By the Associated Press, SAN ANTONIO, Tex., November 12. |—A request for an investigation into | the death of Private Albert Purcell st !an Army hospital in San Antonio, read |before the Senate by Senator Watson {of Georgla, appears to be based on = | misunderstanding, according to Army lrucordu, which show that Private Pur- iccll went absent without leave from tho Army at Brownsville, Tex., Octo- ber 3, 1919, { Army records fail to show any proof jthat Purcell is dead and hospital rec- jords show that he was never admitfed |to the Army hospital in San An- { tonio. Purceil is not carried as a de- serter in the records here, although :no light has been shown on his leav- {ing his regiment. According to press dispatches, Bena- tor Watson read a telegram asking for the investigation without dis- | closing the identity of the sender. He said his informant had been unable to learn anything about the case at the War Department and also sald the |private’s death occurred at camp in {San Antonio. According to the Army records, Private Purcell was a member of headquarters troop of the 16th Cav- jalry stationed at Brownsville, For charging two sergeants in the com- | pany with bootlegging he was threat- ened with a “beating” by the men, ! when they learned that he had fur- inished the officers with the informa- {tion which caused their confinement. | Following their release there was jan encounter with Purcell and the | | | | sergeants again were placed In con- finement. Before they were released Purcell disappeared. Purcell's father lives in Cincinnati. HAVE SO MUCH MONEY THEY CAN'T COUNT IT Relative Wealth in Russia Shown by Rubles in Possession if Peasant Couple.
