Neither ho nor the President naade any
comment for publieatioB oa the devel

The gist af the controversy Is that
neither Oroeo nor Cannon committed
any grave crime cognisable by the laws
of warfare, aad therefor they were x
ecu ted illegally and savagely.
Thomas Jefferson, whea secretary af
state, mid dowa thw prinntplei
"No aMisea has a right to go to war

he does without right ho ought to be
punished."
This, too, is considered good law by
the stats department, but how he is
to be punished is provided for as above.
That is to say, that there must be
execution without the eommissloa of a
grave crime.
If Greco aad Cannon, as prisoners of
war, conspired to escape, or If they
were spies, they could have beea shot
