CASE OF SERGEANT AND COFFEE MONEY | Of the scores of cases wherein the unfairness and injustice of army court martiais are claimed, which have been called to my attention, will cite only a few as typical A Southern boy of good education and family was sentenced to be dis honorably discharged and to forfeit all pay and allowances and to serve two years in an army prison. As a sergeant he was detailed to conduct a number of men from a training camp to an Atlantic port. The post com mander, before the party left, gave the sergeant money to buy coffee en route for the men, When he re. turned to the training camp he had @ balance of about $63 unexpended for coffee. Because he waited 24 hours before going to the office of the camp cashier and turning t money in, he was ar harzed with fraudulently attempting to con- vert this money to his own use. BOY HAS SPUNK A CARRIES HIS CAS!
