Review of Mohns Trial by Judge Advocate General
The case of Second Lieut. Albert J. Mohn of the Fourth Cavalry is being reviewed by Judge Advocate General Davia before submission to the President for final action. Mohn faced court martial in St. Louis over claims that officers conspired to force him from the army and that justice was blocked in the Department of the Missouri. He refused to defend after being denied subpoenas from Rome and other distant points, hoping to prove with those witnesses. Findings and sentence will be public only after the President acts, as the court was ordered by the President.
