Military Penalty Inadequate in Weserter Case at Cuba
General Wood condemns the court martial for desertion in the Weserter case and notes the punishment of dishonorable discharge was too lenient. Darrell, once suspected in the Henry Crouch murder, deserted for over a year and faced multiple trials before surrendering in Colombia. The review warns such justice endangers army discipline and calls for harsher penalties. Also Cornell University announces freshmen scholarships worth 400 dollars each with a partial list of winners including Herman Douglass Boxgerly and Jonas Frederick Brauner among others.
