senter sentence cs of dismissal from the united states army maintained absolute 11 silence during the long trial but she gave to the th e the first full X and frank statement that lias has been made of her side ot of the famo famous us case which has baa agitated the united bt states it army she la is a little woman her manner Is captivating her conversation shows show s education and culture As she spoke with fervor ani and earnestness she looked fondly upon her husband who was pacing up and down the porch its a hard situation said 0 brien len in which I 1 find myself the th e cue case should never have gone to a court acourt but should have been settled in another and more effective way I 1 at first fe felt it that physical redress exacted by a man of thirty three from one of sixty three would have been criticised criticized yet now I 1 wish that I 1 had forgotten that capt caal romeyn was sixty three when I 1 first came to the post said mrs obrien abrien mrs romeyn visited me and said sad that the bachelor officers at fort mcpherson McP berson were horrid they did not dance with the married women and they did not call on them I 1 thought it was queer because I 1 had 1 i F J I 1 I 1 01 I 1 I 1 I 1 1 UT WIFE always found bachelors in the army to be nice to married ladies the bachelors called at our quarters and a always aneed danced with me but capt romeyne Ro wife said that some of the married ladies would not go to the hops any more I 1 said well if I 1 went to the hops and bachelors did not dance with me I 1 would stay at home but I 1 carta certainly would not talk about it IL mrs beut martin and mrs mm kalk both said the same thing the bachelors were nice to me and nice to a young girl who visited me during the winter I 1 invited the bachelors to my house to dinner for my guest and they were always nice as was natural mr bamford and mr obrien have always been good friends when mr bamford and mr shaw stopped housekeeping mr bamford came to our house to mess mesa in january miss romeyn announced that she was engaged to mr bamford Bam tord which was the foundation of all the trouble when mr obrien spoke to mr bamford about it ft he did not deny it but gave mr abrien very clearly to understand that he was not engaged to her mr Bam bamford frd and I 1 had frequently ridden men rl and danced together before this engagement was announced more so before its announcement than after mrs romeyn was quite friendly all the time and on christmas eve capt romeyn walked to town with me pem romayn ayn came home from the east the latter part of january and mr obrien and I 1 called on her mr bamford went to miss and told her that she must set him right in this garrison and say that the engagement which she had I 1 announced was broken off this she t refused to do then came this german hlen which was a post affair that night nigh i I 1 it at th the 4 german I 1 aced va with mr bam iferd and mrs romeyn cuter obrien abid laid me but slie she I 1 did not cut

the e whole thing that captain ro romeyn in effi was only kup supported ported by men who had known him a short time and all the other offic officer berj of the regiment took the other side th the e singular fe feature at ure of the court martial was that it drifted away from the trial of an officer charged with conduct unbecoming a gentleman to a attack the character and Ino motives tives of a woman who was not on trial who had no part in it and yet who was made to bear the brunt of the scandal andal ec indal if the evl evi derca there given should be permitted to stand unanswered it would appear that she was the a accused cc used it was a case in which my name was bandied about until antil band I 1 and not captain romeyn is seemed to be the one on trial here was a court martial composed of officers of the united states army listening to petty stories idle gossip whose could not have been tolerated in any civil court there are in every army posts of course two claw classes ases ot of women as there are in every other station of life one keeps posted reads magazines and takes pleasure in intellectual pursuit and in the prevailing forms of exercise there is the other composed of mere housekeeping drudges reading neither newspapers nor magazines taking no interest in public affairs but contenting themselves with the idle gossip speaking over the back fences as you might say to each other about those who do not notice them those people rely for their mental pabulum upon the most idle of gossip and are the ready victims of servants who carry tales from house to house |
