Militiaman Convicted as Slacker in Court Martial
President Wilson approved an army court martial sentence for Lewis Gardner of the New Mexico militia who was found guilty of failing to report for border duty last June. He received a dishonorable discharge and a one year prison term at hard labor, but the prison sentence was remitted as the case served as a test. Officials say the ruling sends a warning to over 10,000 National Guard members who have not complied with federal service calls.
