Testimony Ends as Fort Wayne Court Martial Probes Forage Theft
The court martial at Fort Wayne heard closing prosecution evidence against Capt. Charles G. Freveh, quartermaster of the Seventh United States Infantry, charged with misappropriating government forage. Col. Genere Chase testified about a March conversation with Capt. French regarding officers using forage for horses owned by Dr. Burkhart. Vouchers showed forage listed as fed to officers’ private property. Enellus Berg testified Burkhart brought in a horse and a contract surgeon was not entitled to government payment for it. Captain French implied it was proper to feed and care for more horses, referencing sale bills to officers who used them. Prosecution rested. Lt. Masseo prepared to rest for the defense later.
