Man Accused of Wearing Army Uniform Without Right
Henry A. Wise and John Albert Fish face a hearing before U S commissioner Samuel M Hitchcock on a charge of unlawfully wearing a second lieutenant’s uniform. Fish, an insurance broker, born 42, widowed, with ties to the New York Yacht Club, denied guilt and claimed he sought reinstatement after discharge. He described Boer War and Matabele campaigns, and said a Massachusetts grand jury indictment concerned a yacht burned in Edgartown in 1910 with disputed insurance.
