nearly all of the 2,000 souls on board.

of thscase of First Lieutenant James
Maney, who was tried by court-martial
as the result of killing Captain Hedbu-g

The charge proved before the court
martial was conduct unbecoming an of
ficer in assaulting his superior officer.

sentenced to be publicly reprimanded.
After a thorough examination of the
case, which has been before the depart
ment for many weeks, Secretary La
mont indorsed upon the record of the
court, "Disapproved by the depart
ment. " This finally ends the case and
Lieutenant Maney will not be repri
manded nor will he again be tried.
