Souvenir of Civil
" War Days Found
At Domiciliary
There are no civil war veter
ans at Camp White, but a grand
sea of trusted aide and friend
of General George B. McClellan,
of the union forces, has been
hiding his light under a bushel.
Among his collection of fam
ily memento is a photograph
of Colonel John Mechan, his
granddfather, taken at Camp
Winfield Scott, near Yorktown,
May 2. 1862 by none other than
the famous photographer of the
Civil War Brady.
Legend Seen
On the bac k of the picture of
rhe camp group of soldiers is
this notation: "Brady's Album
Gallery No. 388 Group, Topo
graphical" Engineers."
Tne,n this legend appears: "The
photographs of this series were
taken directly from nature, at
considerable cost. Warning is
therefore given that legal pro
ceedings; will be at once institut
ed against any party infringing
the copyright."
Termisston has been given by
Ralph Baker, Camp White, to
use this-photograph, and it is
more than likely that the heirs
at law will nn' object to publi
cation of this interesting souven
ir of the Civil War in the Mail
Tribune on this Memorial Day.
Gets Recognition

photographer, is recognized in
history as the first news photo

Japanese Prosecution
Agrees To New Trial
For U.S. Serviceman
Tokyo up The Japanese
nrncprntinn ha aclrprl that flio
! first American serviceman ever
I sentenced to death in a Japanese
court be given a new trial, is
was disclosed today.
The Sendai procurator's office
agreed that the hanging sen
tences decreed by Sendai district
court on March 20 for Pvt. Orvis
L. C. Boone, 24, of Galveston,
Tex., and his Japanese sweet
heart were too severe.
Life Sentence Demanded
The procurator had demanded
a life sentence for Boone and
Shigeko Sasaki, his 20-year-old
sweetheart, on charges of mur
der, robbery and arson. The
court by-passed the recommenda
tion nd imposed the death sen
tence because of the "barbarity
of the crime."
The defense appealed to the
Sendai high court for a new trial
and the procurator's office
agreed that the case should be
to record incidents, battles and
personalities of the conflict for
posterity.
Baker recalls that his grand
father knew General McClel
lan intimately, and had been as
sociated with him in engineer
ing projects before the war. Co.
Mechan was born in Newry,
Ireland, and educated at Woolf
rich, the West Point of England,
before coming to America.
reopened. The appeal for a new
trial came at a time when Japan
ese and American feelings over
the "Girard case" had reached
a new peak.
Center of Controversy
Army Specialist 3c William S.
Girard of La Salle, 111., is the
center of an international con
troversy over whether he should
be tried in a Japanese court or
by U. S. Army court martial
for the accidental shooting dead
of Mrs. Naka Sakai on a U.S. fir
ing range.
Girard was Eiven until today
by the Maebashi district court to
name a lawyer, but reliable in
formants said he would riot
name a defense counsel until the
United States and Japan decide
which will try him.
There was no such dispute in
the case of Boone. The Negro
soldier was clearly off duty at
the time he and his sweetheart
robbed and bludgeoned a Japan
ese woman to death, then set fire
to her house to conceal the
crime.
