"The c ur's martial system of the army is neither just nor justifiable," i said Joseph Smit hmeyer. a Richmond man who saw almost two years service in the army during the war. "A fellow gets a summary court, and it all depends on whether the officer is feeling well whether or not he gets off lightly, or is given a stiff sentence. "In a great many cases, the man's sentence is all fixed up between his own commanding officer and the suramary court officer before he is over brought to trial.' Smithmeyer told of instances where a commanding officer of a company, after charging a man with an offense, asked that the punishment bo made heavy, telling the summary court officer that "the man wasn't wanted in the company an-way." !
