the conclusion that Johnson was guilty A report of the findings was made to Adjutant General Burton who approved the findings Johnson was marched out of camp between two sentries sen-tries yc terday afternoon In his defense he had this to say to The Herald I was not supposed to go on duty until Thursday night According to the alphabetical arrangement guard duty was assigned me to begin Tuesday morning but the sergeant came to me 01 that day and asked if i would be convenient to let another man whose I work fell on Thursday change guards with me Ireadily consented On Wednesday I was granted a pass and came to the city where I was engaged en-gaged In work throughout the day returning re-turning at 615 in time for dress parade The sergeant Informed me that owing to the scarcity of men available I would have to do guard duty that night Iremonstrated but to no purpose pur-pose So worn out with a days hard labor 1 took my post t This circumstance alone should have appealed i to the court Furthermore I am firmly convinced that the officers seized eagerly the opportunity presented pre-sented of making my sentence as severe se-vere possible in order to set an example ex-ample before the guard v Much of the evidence for the prosecution prose-cution was conflicting In statingmy belief that a fair verdict founded on the evidence I alone would have greatly i c < < mitigated my sentence L can feel that the majority of sentiment among the guardsmen also favors my belief For thig I am very grateful fr x J f Pvaid Off Today i j One of the most interesting ceremonies I
