R}acords Put Dillerent Light on Story Washington, July 31.—The official ccords of the war department state that Private Irank W. Frey of Pater- son, N. J, who served in Company D, 309th infantry, 78th division, came to his death as the “result of wilful misconduct and direct disobediance of orders.” (A comrade of Frey gave out a story in Paterson on Monday that Frey had been summarily killed be- cause he refused duty on the ground he was a conscientious objector). According to the official records, Private Frey made no claim to being a conscientious objector. He went through the rifle range at Camp Dix, where he was trained, and apparent- did not develop any scruples against fighting until he got close to the battle front in France. His first offense to throw down his rifle on the bayonet practice field, but the incident which resulted in his death as his company was de- training at Vitrey-Haute-Marne came through his refusal to carry his pack and, later, his refusal to move out of the way of his company as it was marching off the narrow railroad platform. laving rejected the counsel of his younger officers, the matter of Pri- vate Frey's disobedicnce was referred officially to the battalion commander, who dirccted the officer of the guard to detail a sentinel with instructions to sec that Iorey put on his pack and moved off with his company. A pri- vate was sent to sec that these in- structions were carried out. The sentinel twice directed Frey to pick up his pack, after which the testimony shows that when Frey as- sumed a crouching attitude, as if to spring, the sentinel lunged at him, his bayonet penetrating Frey's left breast. Private Frey died before the reached his side On Aug. 14, ecight days death, Frey was tried for ence of orders in connection with his refusal to continue bayonet drill, which occurred in June, during battle practice. While Private long, Frey's “buddy,” declares he heard the sol- dier v entenced to twenty-four vears' imprisonment, the records show that the court gave him two years, with the loss of $S per month for one year. The reviewing authorities had not passed upon the case. The sentinel who killed him was acquitted on the ground that his act was necessary to compel obedience to orders in time of war and in close proximity to the enemy, although the board did not believe the sentinel in- tended to Kkill Frey. a before his disobedi- INDIANA LAWYER WEDS LOCAL GIRL s Vanda Mary Cieszynski Becomes Bride of J.
