Soldier A Wreck After Long Trip From Pacific War
Alfred Fields Rhodes, 39, ex soldier in Company F with Infantry, who was court martialed and sentenced to 50 years for killing a native in the Philippine Islands, walked into Mount Vernon on Tuesday after a grueling return journey from San Francisco.

He traveled 2000 miles home, walking about 500 miles and riding freight trains with teamsters. He left Mount Vernon once a stalwart young man, now his hair gray from the ordeal.
