Feely noted 26,492 civil cases pending, half from Suffolk.

Roosevelt’s First Veto Message On Desertion Case
President Roosevelt sent his first veto to Congress condemning desertion in the naval record of John Glass. The veto notes desertion as a grave crime, especially in wartime, and questions the credibility of the affidavit. Glass enlisted in 1864 at age 16 after witnessing an act affecting a ship’s second officer, and was told not to report for duty. The Navy committee’s report cites his youth and an order as factors in the desertion.
