Court martial for Williams latest move in army row
Denver May 4 further developments in the army scandal involving Colonel Charles A Williams Twenty first Infantry and Major Lawrence J Hearne reach Denver headquarters via telegram. General W P Duvall recommended to the war department that Williams be court martialed as part of the inquiry begun at Fort Logan and extended to the Philippine islands. The recommendation accompanies a copy of The Denver Times April 14 1910 containing a letter from Colonel James Oxsenaarde of the Twenty fifth Infantry defending Williams.
