day In each > ear as a "rally day , " when
11 great effort should be ued to secure a
laige collection for home missions , and
that we show due appreciation of the brave
woik being done In foreign llelds by giving

of a Private.

Ills Soon ! Upon Iho
the Private.
CHICAGO. Oct. 22. The story told of the
treatment of Private Chatlcs Hammond by
Cuptaln Leonard A. Lovprlng was continued
today b > the court of Inquiry now lit ses
sion at Tort Sheridan. The testimony of both
the prlnclpils hi the case was taken , as was
that of ono witness , Lieutenant lleruard , anil
the statements of each corroborated In the
main the evidence of the others.
It was ehovvn that HatimicmJ was dragged
from the guardhouse over macadamized
roads , up and down stilrwavs , all the way
to the room where the summary court was
sitting. It was also shown that Captain
hovering did swear at , kick uml use his
sword upon the stubborn prisoner. Captain
Lovcrlng asserted that his actions toward
Hammond were hi furtherance of the main
tenance of good discipline and admitted prac
tical ! ) everything alleged against him by
Hammond. The latter said that he refused
to appear before the court because he ex
pected punishment when he returned to his
own post and did not consider that the Fort
Sheridan court lud any right to try him.
Private Charles Hammond , U. S. A. ,
gaunt and thin nnd showing plainly
the effects of his fourteen days' con
finement on a bicad ami water diet In the
guardhouse at Fort Sheridan , appeared be
fore a court of his superior officers today
ami told them of thu circumstances of his
disobedience of the orders of Captain LeverIng -
Ing and of the subsequent nnd drastic meas
ures taken by that olllcer to enforce his com
mands. Hut few spectators were present to
witness the opening of the couit , as the
offlccrs were nt that time engaged In the
icgular ill 111 on the parade ground. Heporters
chiefly constituted the audience when the
court opened.
When Private Hammond was ushered Into
the presence of the court two Miutl holes
In the back of his Jacket were visible re
minders of the alleged dragging on the
morning of October 0. Under oath he testi
fied as follows'
"On Trldav I refused to go to work and
was ordered from the guard room Into a
cell Saturday at 9 30 I was told that 1
would have lo appear before n summarj
court I told the oillcer of the guard that
If he wanted me he mus > t carry mo there
Captain Leveling came there with two
members of the guard , the order was given
to the sentries to step In end drag me out
so that mv hick would strike on the doorsill -
sill The sentries took hold of mo and
threw mo to the tloor , and as I was
dragged out Sergeant Harnard tried
to hold me down onto the Hill
so that mv back would be scraped I
was dingged to the guard room outside and
as I went through the door Captain Loverlng
put his heel over my head and threatened
to stamp me In the face. Then I was
allowed to walk back to my cell Later
Captain Leveling leturned to my cell with
four sentries and gave the older , 'Go In
and jerk that man out. ' The door was un
locked and two sentries stepped In and
threw me. Captain Loverlng klck'd me
In the side four times with his fiet while I
was down , and as I went over the elll again
ho gave me a violent kick In the shoulder.
Ho slapped me over the right side to the
loft and prodded me twice more with his
foot and gave me three more violent kicks
about the shoulders.
"During this scene ho cursed mo con
stantly. Uhlng the vilest kind of oaths ns he
sneered , 'Nowvlll jou get up ? Will > ou
wnlk now ? '
"Loverlng then ordered n rope and gave
orders to have my feet crossed and tied at
the ankles I placed my hands behind my
head nnd then Loverlng and the sentries be
gan to drag me. Ho plodded me In the
right hand with hta sword and then In the
shoulder. I was diagged to the guard house
and out to the porch , where with ono hard
Joik they started mo down the stone steps
on my back and across the road. The
sentries were reinforced by two others. I
was dragged over pavements nnd roads to
Coniiany D's steps , up the steys , then down
again , across the pavement and under the
tower to Company A's hteps , and finally up
Into the adjutant's office.
