Court Martial Opens Over General Eagan Case
At the Ebbitt House a full dress court marshals General Charles P. Eagan on charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman and to the prejudice of good order. The proceedings hinge on his testimony before a war inquiry commission regarding contracts for army subsistence and alleged disparaging remarks about General Miles. General Wesley Merritt presides. Eagan pleads not guilty to the first charge and not wholly to the second, with the court proceeding to the reading of specifications.
