Water Cure Case and Navy Suspension in Court-Martial
Secretary Root sent to the President the findings in court-martial cases of Major Edwin F. Glenn, Lieut Pulien E. Gaujot, and Lieut Norman E. Cook. Glenn was found guilty of administering the water cure to natives and received one month’s suspension and a $50 fine. Cook was acquitted of ordering the shooting of Filipino prisoners, though evidence showed he ordered shots if prisoners tried to escape. The President is asked to approve the sentences and findings with no further action. Glenn is credited with excellent service and pacifying the area he commanded.
