Scandal Charges Against Lieutenant Colonel Fletcher at Fort Omaha
A military court at Fort Omaha began a hearing into charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman against Lieutenant Colonel Fletcher of the Second Infantry. The case stems from allegations linked to a June separation of Colonel Fletcher and his wife, with associates accusing him of circulating rumors about the affairs of Captain Charles A. Dempsey and Dr. Frank L. Henderson. Henderson reportedly assaulted Fletcher as the matter drew court attention, and the court martial, presided by General A. V. Kantz, includes Major Clapp as counsel and Captain Charles Porter as judge advocate, with proceedings delayed to accommodate absent counsel. The outcome remains awaited across army circles.
