Cornman and French Sentenced by Court Martial
Washington December reports President Roosevelt approved sentences in two court martial cases. Colonel Dente Cornman received one month suspension and a reprimand for neglect of duty over forage misappropriation. Captain Charles G. French saw dismissal, reduced to fifty rifles in pay, for misappropriation of government forage. A contract surgeon sold horses to officers, with a plan to resell at the same price. The court found Cornman possibly cognizant but not proven to have knowingly approved forage reports.
