Militiamen Oath Duty Controversy Tied to National Guard
A court opinion discusses how militiamen who do not take voluntary longer terms remain liable for emergency duty under federal calls. Emerson’s refusal to enlist longer terms leaves him in federal service via the Massachusetts militia oath and laws. Judge Putnam dissents, arguing the act is too rigid for such construction. Also noted are shipping news and local notices including a funeral, a job ad, and a missing communications request for Miss Stacy Leary in San Francisco.
